The beautiful and soothing Don Café House by Innarch is inspired by coffee beans inside a coffee sack. From the architects: "The walls of the bar are organically shaped and colored like coffee sack made up of "Plywood" type of wood, whereby the pillars in between are coated with textile coffee sacks. Tables and hanging chandeliers represent the coffee grains lined up asymmetrically in order to generate the impression of being inside a coffee sack." The cafe is located in Pristina, Kosovo

The Westbourne Grove Church, which dates back to 1853 as a Baptist chapel, was completely renovated by DOS Architects, which turned the place of worship into a loft called home, at least to some lucky person. The church's incredibly high ceilings, tall windows, and beautiful pillars make this rather an easy place to spruce up.

This colorful, modern maisonette located in Gothenburg, Sweden is young and spacious, and for sale. The interior makes the most of both modern and rustic elements of architecture, with exposed brick in some parts, and stark white walls throughout. Tall, elegant windows bring in lots of light, and each room is designed to maximize the space while maintaining a totally comfortable feeling of home.

The Bouroullec brothers, Ronan and Erwan are designers and interior decorators with an acute sense for unusual uses of materials. Their famed exhibit, Textile Field, is so delicately made that in order to see it in person, you must walk around the gallery in your socks. Textile Field and other intricate creations will be featured at Les Arts Decoratif in Paris in a dedicated retrospective show, from now until September 1.

20 WEST 29TH ST NEW YORK, NY, THE ACE HOTEL

James Gulliver Hancock is an Australian–turned–New Yorker who has set about to draw every building in New York City, a truly daunting, but extremely intriguing task. James keeps track of his illustrated census on his beautifully maintained website, All The Buildings In New York. His work has been turned into a book, All The Buildings In New York (That I've Drawn So Far). The really cool part of James' site is that you can search for illustrated structures by both borough and building type.

The awesome Fusillo bookshelves from And Vice Versa are comprised of modular elements that you can twist and turn to your own literary or storage-based needs. Each module rotates from a central axis point to provide support, and you can combine them however you like. 

The Brown Residence by Lake|Flato Architects is located in the Arizona desert, and the home's earthy palette makes it the perfect sunbaked living space. The Brown Residence is protected from the sun's harshest rays with broad overhangs that provide welcome shade.

Architect Héctor Ruiz-Velázquez took on the small attic and turned it into several layers of space by building by establishing levels to each room. Architectural nooks and crannies abound, turning what would be a very limited living space into an expansive home. 

Studio Swine traveled to São Paulo, a city with an excellent recycling program, to create something beautiful and useful from the city's excess materials. These glass bottles have been reblown to form new shapes that serve as a nod to Brazil's tropical Modernism trend of the 1950s, rendering this cool series of cactus lamps.

From Fearon Hay Architects:

"Mountain Retreat is a small structure set within a high country station, adjacent Lake Wakatipu, Central Otago. The colours and textures of the cladding integrate the building into the gravel tracks, exposed rock faces and scree slopes of the alpine environment. The architecture seeks to be a subtle insertion in the alpine landscape. The internal environment is both muscular and refined, referencing the toughness of the environment while providing comfort required for a retreat in the mountains."
