The Sheep Cottage

A guest quarters/sheep shearers cottage with modern lines, rustic industrial finishes and crazy scenic views.  This place is hot.  Handcrafted details throughout from the metal shelving to the wood clad interior walls.

The volume is fresh and well showcased with geometric design.

Greek Kitchen

Once again another killer example of modern meeting rustic.  This kitchen is part of a badass renovation of a historic home on the island of Hydra in Greece.  Timeless original craftsmanship throughout really sets the tone here from the exposed rugged stone walls to the warmth of the wood ceiling.  On the modern side you have the sleek, smooth look of the custom molded base cabinetry and cubbies.  The highlight that I feel really transforms and marks the contrast in styles is the glass floor.  A genius little idea that looks down into the food storage space.

Hand Hewn Sconce

Hand hewn wall sconces.  Just sweet.  Check them as they blend in and just oh so slightly wash the barn wood wall with a little light.  Overall a killer blend of materials in this Soho loft.  A staple in most lofts is, of course, the exposed brick.  You can see the rugged texture they've introduced around the doors and windows as the brick styles are tied together.  Also, the custom ornamental railing showcases an industrial vibe and really highlights the stairwell.

Abandoned Stable

An old abandoned stable in need of a little love. This killer stone structure kept it's rugged character outside while introducing a modern vibe on the interior. Very cool. Reshaped to accommodate a more modern lifestyle, the main living has been completely opened up while the old haylofts were turned into bedrooms.

A shot of that wide open modern look inside with the plastered walls and raw steel stair.

A mix of the elements and styles once again from the hand chiseled stone sinks in the baths to the all white smooth, glossy feel in the kitchen.

A total gem out in the countryside done just right. You can also check this post here, at Fred Flare.
