Today’s post is all about taking a closer look…one of the outdoor rooms from yesterday’s post sparked my interest, a Venezuelan home designed by the homeowner and architect Fernando Arriaga…this home is unbelievably beautiful but what really blew me away is the innovative use of materials…built in concrete sofas (third photo) serve as functional pieces of furniture as well as objects of art…their modern form work in perfect harmony with the natural wood columns, raw open beam work, lush green landscape and vibrant blue water…brilliant! For me, the most spectacular room is the guest bedroom (last photo) that opens to a dramatic view…the space is furnished with a custom concrete platform bed, an African chair, Tolomeo reading lamps by Artemide, and the floor is sandblasted marble…can you imagine waking up to that view? Wow…
