Crazy talk? Nah, just crazy texture.
Stellar: — adj; informal outstanding or immense. Um, yes. That is precisely what Studio MODE exhibits in this whimsical cafe interior. It’s intricate, mesmerizing, grandeur, precise, and bold. I feel like it carries me in, going past the point of simply inviting, but picks me up to bring me inside. It’s fantastic in the most superb way. It’s stellar. It’s texture. It’s Studio MODE. This. Is. Cafe Graffiti. Located in Varna, Bulgaria. Upstairs = art gallery. Main level = this: Please check out Studio MODE. I applaud them for this job and many others that...

However, I realize there are instances where “less” truly “is more.” When I return home to toys all over the floor in the kitchen, the living room, up the...
read moreWilson Associates + Anything = Perfection. Armani learned that.
After spending some time in William Associates‘ portfolio, I have come up with the equation: Wilson Associates + really anything or anyone = PERFECTION. They epitomize the idea of opulence, decadence and luxury and as you can see, who better to collaborate with than Mr. Giorgio Armani himself.

John Matthews Architects based in San Mateo, California does just...
