A Designer’s Imaginarium: How Does A Designer Home Look Like
It’s very funny how we usually wander with our minds, imagining all sorts of beautiful places: from spacious luxury homes with breezy patios, to NY lofts with a particular bohemian flair or small compact Scandinavian apartments with a sharp sense of style. We see everyday the work of some of the most brilliant minds, designers and architects, that create out of nothing impressive living spaces and yet, we rarely think about their homes and how do they look like. So here we are, “sneaking” inside the house of a designer, Susan Drover from SAM Design and exploring her “imaginarium”.
Her lovely home is located in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Simple, yet elegant, Susan Drover’s living space has something that makes you say: “Yes, this is definitely a warm place, where I can enjoy the little things in life. A real home”. The impeccable white is interrupted here and there with splashes of purple shades. The kitchen, the dining area and the living room are connected (the doors have been eliminated), offering a unique living experience, by having a lot of space to move. The fireplace and the raw wood deposit add a touch of warmth. So, what do you think?! Is it the way you expected it to be?

Caesarstone Now Offers Quartz Surfaces That Evoke The Grandeur Of Marble
Caesarstone’s popular Classico line now includes quartz surfaces inspired by marble. Five colors are available. Pictured here is Dreamy Marfil, a blend of creamy beiges with light brown veins. All photos: Caesarstone
Even to those unfamiliar with architectural history, marble is easily recognized as a building material entrenched in cultural meaning—thousands of years of meaning, no less. The natural stone has been quarried, cut, and reassembled into icons such as the Parthenon, the Taj Mahal, and just about every monument in Washington, D.C.
Even when societies embraced concrete, steel, and glass as the material harbingers of the modern built environment, marble easily found a place in the architectural avant-garde, bringing its historic gravitas into buildings by Mies van der Rohe, Adolf Loos, and others. In these modern circumstances, the coveted stone shed some of its significance as a natural building block, and greater attention was paid to its aesthetic properties: its natural grain, its impression of durability, and its cool touch.
Well aware of marble’s complex cachet, quartz surface manufacturer Caesarstone has launched a new line of marble-colored quartz surfaces that not only reaffirms marble’s significance in architectural culture but also hails its visceral connection to nature. Read more.
Emperadoro offers a rich fusion of lush, deep browns with maple-colored veins.
Using cutting-edge technology, Israel-based Caesarstone has created five new marble-inspired colors to add to its popular Classico collection of quartz surfaces. Frosty Carrina, Dreamy Marfil, London Grey, Piatra Grey, and Emperadoro evoke natural marbles that conjure an impressive range of aesthetic allusions. Their earthy tones and delicate veins are discreet enough to give the countertops an abstract, modern quality suitable for the contemporary home but pronounced enough to hint at the stone’s materiality and the history that comes with it—from the Acropolis to the Barcelona Pavilion.
To learn more about Caesarstone’s marble-colored quartz, visit the company’s official website.
Those wanting a more subdued look may opt for London Grey.
As the name suggests, London Grey is an opaque light grey with soft charcoal veins.
Comfortable And Warm Penthouse In Toronto By Ceccone Simoni Inc
The Yorkville Penthouse, located in Toronto was designed by Cecconi Simone for a young couple that needed a place to incorporate perfectly the idea of home and business. “This home epitomizes restrained and exquisite contemporary design while being warm, comfortable and welcoming. Located on a half floor, the home has west, north and east exposures.” Black and white, a little bit of concrete and a piano – this is how you create an interesting contrast to fit the couple’s exquisite tastes.
The penthouse was divided in three main areas: the entertainment area, the private area and the interior courtyard. Each of these areas have different functions, depending on the couple’s needs. An imposing fireplace welcomes you in the living room, embroidering the living space with sprinkles of subtle decorations. The white-and-black elements create a certain peaceful ambience. The penthouse respects the lines of a truly minimalistic décor: the all-white kitchen, the “almost empty” bedroom and a hollow chamber with water falling on the walls opening up to a green space. Sometimes this is all you need to find your inner peace after a hectic weekday schedule.
