I love New York City. I love the seasons, fashion, the lights and the fact that we are truly the city that never sleeps but when there’s snow …  I just want to pack up and move! these past few days had me feeling claustrophobic so what’s a girl to do but take pictures and eat!

Of course I had to take in a couple of shots in Astoria before Juno touched down. The quite before the storm.

My first…

Droog Town House, Amsterdam by Atelier Bow-Wow and Droog Design.

Commissioned by Amsterdam housing association Ymere, Townhouse is Droog’s first house. The interior renovation of this Amsterdam townhome is by Atelier Bow-Wow, and features furniture and industrial design pieces by Droog.

Imagined for a single, a contemporary family or as a VIP guesthouse, the one-of-a-kind layout is a continuous flow of spaces, each with its own functionality merging with circulation space. Private rooms such as the master and optional guest bed, the bath, the balcony and a sound-proof refuse are separated by shared space, creating a unique combination of contact and independence, spaciousness and intimacy.

“In townhouse typology that is narrow and vertical, it is unavoidable for the staircase to dictate a layout that is clearly divided into floors and rooms. We break this by proposing a house without a staircase—instead the whole house becomes inhabitable steps. Each step performs as the place for Droog furniture and living.” – Atelier Bow-Wow
