In Berkeley’s Elmwood neighborhood, Book Society by Laura Guzman is more than a bookstore. It’s a space to read, sip wine, and connect. Designed with arches, cozy corners, and a central bar, it feels part bookstore, part living room, part community hub.

Just outside London, .design turned an old barn into a cozy, modern house. Elm wood, terracotta tiles, concrete, and natural fibers bring warmth, while big windows frame the countryside. Inside, a central fireplace and sunken tub make it the perfect rural escape.

We love the lived in vibe of this home. Inside a Grade II listed townhouse in England, just steps from Arundel Castle, this kitchen by plays with colour and texture—Ritzy, Brockwell Moss, and Eccles meet warm oak and bold terrazzo. Wobbly brick walls only add to its charm.

Near Ostuni, challenges the familiar image of Apulian architecture. Instead of one sweeping villa, it’s a composition of smaller rooms, tied together by a bold thread of colour. A house where tradition bends toward character.

On the shores of Lake Lydiard, a century-old estate has been reborn. Once a patchwork of five remodels, the 8,945-square-foot home now embraces light, flow, and connection. Architect Matt Wittman of Wittman Estes opened walls and sightlines to the lake, replaced segmented spaces with a curving sculptural stair, and reimagined interiors with terrazzo floors, white oak, and marble.

The result: a historic home refined for contemporary life: rooms in dialogue with one another, seamless indoor-outdoor living, and endless lake views that honor the past while shaping everyday moments for a young family.

About

I was always working, socializing, exercising, traveling... always doing something. Then I looked around and realized that everyone else was also doing the same - living their lives at an extreme pace and hardly ever finding time to look reflect or to internalize knowledge that may have passed by in a fleeting moment.

Admit it, you have been overwhelmed in the past day, month or year by just daily happenings around you. Our intention is to create inspirational content featuring people, places, products that intrigue, encouraging you to pause, think, digest, ideate and go forth stronger with clarity. You will read about culture, business, trends, travel, lifestyle - but most importantly, we seek to be a part of building your inspired mind and lifestyle.
