sky-garage-penthouse-at-200-11th-avenue-new-york-1-600x407 If I were to design or live in a dream penthouse, this probably would be it. The lovely floor to ceiling windows and well -lit interior, gives it a dreamy and luxurious feel. The staircase is a beautiful series of bookshelves that add a special and unique character to the space. It is known as the Sky Garage Penthouse due to the fact that you have an en suite car garage with doors from the best garage door company in Vancouver, how convenient!

After selling her previous house, Heidi Klum has been reportedly looking for a new one. She has been checking Jon Bon Jovi’s $37.5 million Soho penthouse, but we still don’t know if she has the made the decision to purchase it.

The space is beyond lovely, exquisite finishing and materials, lovely terraces, and an amazing view of lower Manhattan. If that’s her budget, I don’t see why she should look anywhere else. On the plus said, it is owned by my favorite singer of all time! *sigh*

As ‘unlivable’ as this space looks, you can’t but appreciate the strength of the architecture and daring openness of the house.

The design of this home is a practice in the client’s studies, a philosophical execution of his life’s work.

Video of Antoni Gaudi’s Basilica Completed | History and Architecture

Whenever you speak of Spain’s architecture, almost always the Sagrada Famila Basilica by Antoni Gaudi is brought up. A lovely video was featured on Dezeen last week showing a simulation of what it will look like when done. The plan is to have it finished by 2026, i.e. 100 years after the death of its architect.

I find it fascinating that until this date an ancient basilica is still being built. Imagine all the developments this beautiful structure has witnessed.
