Pure white. This is how this project was named where white is the star. White as the sum of all the colours of the light is the starting point of this amazing project: a house by the sea on the top of a cliff blessed with natural light. The owners wished for white and comfort to reign throughout the entire house.

The house is divided into five areas. The service area is projected to house up to five people and the decoration and furniture are all designed in white. The kids wing that includes the childrens rooms and a sitting room is the only part of the house with brushestrokes of colour.

The daytime zone that includes the dining room and living room areas was projected in a way that the exterior seems to spill into the house so when relaxing on the sofa one is invaded by the intense blue of the sea, which embraces the whole living area as well as the kitchen.

The upper part of the building houses a cube that locates the main suite. The room is decorated totally in white except for the bathroom, which is designed in deep dark basalt stone, and a black carpet that crosses the room. Several objects in distressed silver such as a mannequin and decorative frames on top of the boudoir also provide minimal touches of colour to the space.

Finally, the guest area on the ground floor next to the swimming pool is floored with the same material as the outdoor to integrate both areas even more, so that fuse in one essence.

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?

Simon Schubert is an artist who lives and works in Cologne, Germany. Born in 1976, he studied Liberal Arts and Sculpture at the Duesseldorf Academy of the Arts under the tutelage of Irmin Kamp.In his paper art series, Schubert meticulously folds sheets of paper, creating a very shallow relief or bas-relief. When the lighting is right, the paper comes to life with depth and contrast. Each ‘sculpture’ is made from a single sheet of paper using only creases and folds. No additional colour is added to the works.Schubert cites his inspiration most often comes from literature, philosophy, film and fine art. He said a defining moment of inspiration came from the work of Joseph Beuys, which opened Schubert’s eyes that art could be, ‘more than just something decorative and influence into life directly’.
