Located in Sao Paulo, Brazil, is the Limantos residence designed by Fernanda Marques. The expansive, two storey family home takes inspiration from Mies van der Rohe (as noted by the architect), with its layout and strong use of glass, concrete and steel.
The home consists of 13 rooms, and is proportionally balanced with just the right amount of private and open spaces. An incredible feature of the interior is the white spiral staircase that elegantly curls from the upper level to the lower.
Some of the furniture pieces used in the project include the Roda Network outdoor sofa and daybed (available locally from David Shaw) and Knoll Barcelona lounge chairs (available locally from Bromhead Design).
After 50 years in their previous location, the headquarters of Italian football club AC Milan have recently been relocated to the impressive Casa Milan. Designer Fabio Novembre has used the club's colours of black and red as a palette for the building's decor, applying the colour scheme to graphics, furniture and fittings throughout to include the merchandise shop, offices for senior management, restaurant and club museum which was newly created in collaboration with Google. Combined with space enough for both temporary and permanent exhibitions, the club's headquarters have been designed to provide an interactive experience for its visitors.

This spacious apartment impresses with its warmth whilst retaining an air of masculinity and minimalism. Ukraine based design group 2b uses natural elements throughout the Kiev located residence to create a cozy interior that is still edgy and urban. With perfectly placed furnishings interspersed with eclectic design accents, there is little not to like about this forward thinking inner city loft.
Dutch architecture firm i29 have released a concept design of an ultra slim, almost invisible kitchen island. The idea came from the designers' vision for the counter to be more of a piece of furniture as opposed to a kitchen bench - with their aim being for the system to seem to disappear.
The counter top has a thickness of around two centimetres and the sliding panels behind the bench are repeated on the front, giving the impression of invisibility.
This recent renovation in Elwood, Melbourne by Robson Ray Architects in collaboration with interior design firm Made by Cohen, was an extension of an existing Edwardian home. The structure now features clean lines and wide open spaces - a huge contrast to its previous interior.
Furniture used: Tufty time sofa in the living area (available from Matisse), Artemide Tolomeo Mega Terra floor lamp (available from ECC), Poliform Dama side table (available from Studio Italia).

Renowned French Architect and designer Joseph Dirand (and the son of esteemed interiors photographer Jacques Dirand) has recently found time to perform a breathtaking renovation on his Paris apartment, despite his booming business.
The tranquil apartment, located in Paris' 7th Arrondissement features parquet flooring throughout, that is juxtaposed with a neutral colour palette. A signature of Dirand's work is heavily veined marble, and this project is no exception - it has been used in the kitchen, bathrooms and for a fire place, "I like to look for materials that express a lot of disorder" he notes.
The home provides ample privacy for his family of four - with all of the rooms separated, but all generously proportioned. A highlight of the furniture pieces used would have to be the stunning Oscar Neimeyer chair and ottoman in the master bedroom.

British design firm Duffy London have replicated the look of a cross-section of the ocean with their Abyss table. Layers of blue glass are stacked on top of sheets of wood in order to create the dramatic affect. 
Designer Christopher Duffy has produced a limited edition table titled Megalith for British company Duffy London. Taking inspiration from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, the large glass tabletop appears to balance atop a group of toppling blocks.
