[#AccessTip. Give them something to talk about.] WE ARE IN LOVE with #Vegan restaurant, Rayén Vegano based in #Madrid #Spain. The bright yellow ephemeral installation which happens to mark the restaurant’s entrance was created by the multidisciplinary team of artists, @somosfos. Created out of 250 meters of #yellow tape, a few #pineapples, pieces of #art painted over, lawn furniture and a spotlight, this little restaurant has come to life!

[#AccessTip. Brutalist Beauty. See what you never saw before] #Architects #KenMackay and #TraceyWiles have reworked the Chamberlin, Powell and Bon-designed Barbican building, #London EC1 into an amazing 5 bedroom apartment!  They have kept the original brutalist features like concrete walls, pillars, and double-height ceilings. We love the rawness of the overall concept, allowing the buildings history to thrive into the future.

[#AccessTip. Invest in a Statement piece] What is that one thing in your home you love? Is it art work you bought whilst on holiday? That antique sideboard you bartered for at the markets? A statement piece doesn’t necessarily have to cost you an arm or a leg and it doesn’t need to be big, bold or over sized. Your statement piece is something that you notice first, something that brings you joy, a piece that you know completes the room you love. We love the #ValetCollection by #DavidRockwell for Stellar Works featured at #MilanDesignWeek. The collection merges fluent materials, craftsmanship, functionality. Now we are not saying to go out and spend 6 months of your wage on a chair! Be innovative, get cheeky! Find a fresh local emerging designer to support. Invest early, because authenticity is priceless. You never know, you may be the only person with that one off piece.

[#AccessTip. The winter hangzone!] Where is the one spot in your home that you love to be in during the colder months? Fireplaces are the perfect way to bring people together during winter. Your fireplaces can be the anchor between two rooms, defining spaces and zones. Make it a statement piece! We love this geometric design by #RessRobertsandPartners, located in upper west side, #NewYork.

[#AccessTip. Fill your space with what you ❤️] We are swooning over @heatherdayart! Art is personal, subjective and can be an expression of ones self. There is no right or wrong! Hang what you love to fill your empty wall. It can make all the difference and also adds as a talking piece with guests. If your after a colour piece that makes your smile, #sanfrancisco based artist @heatherdayart is who you want. 😍

[#AccessTip. Make your own Paradise!] Artist Andrés Gallardo States the iconic ‘La Muralla Roja’ in #Spain a ‘paradise for photographers’. La Muralla Roja, Spanish for 'The Red Wall,' is a housing project designed by Ricardo Bofill. Located within the La Manzanera development in Spain's Calpe, La Muralla Roja is a labyrinth of precise geometry plan based on the typology of the Greek cross. There are no boundaries when it comes to design, step outside the box and get creative folks! Photo by Andrés Gallardo

[#AccessTip. Use local products, support your community] We are seriously in love with the driving concept behind The Yoshino Cedar House! The Cedar House was designed for the rural village of Yoshino, allowing travelling guests an integrated experience with the community. Here they live with the locals who support the residence, all proceeds from each booking goes back into the community and you can book this beautiful space via @airbnb ! Co-created with Tokyo-based architect Go Hasegawa, every detail of the building uses local milled wood and is designed around local traditions. Now pack your bags, and book that flight! Japan here we come!

[#AccessTip. Design for more than one outcome ] We are madly swooning over the Seashore Chapel, Beidaihe, Qinhuangdao, Hebei, China by @vectorarchitects. The Chapel is a spiritual place by the ocean where people can slow down their pace, experience the nature and examine their inner state. Perched on the water's edge, It serves as a community events space, library and chapel. Here at @Accesssketch we design Accessible, Affordable, Architecture. We love to get creative so enquire with us today via link in our bio.

[#AccessTip. Let history inspire you! ] Let me jump in the pool already! #Stockholm studio #ClaessonKoivistoRune has designed a set of pools and spas adjacent to a 1796 mansion in south Sweden. Lending inspiration from the #Gustavian (Neoclassical) mansion in general and parquet floor patterns from the time in particular, the concept is built on the chevron (French parquet). This is a design that is timeless, meshing traditional techniques with a modern twist.

[#AccessTip. Make your space your own] The way you interpret your personal space is just as important as its design. Don’t let a blank canvas home be the final product. Use plants to bring the outdoor in! What you thought was dad's old junk drawers may be the perfect bench top! Create new spaces to read and relax. Hang your favourite paintings or place a chair in your favourite corner. Allow yourself to stop, be present and admire the place you call home. Architecture, design and aesthetic doesn’t end once a home project is built, it is only the beginning and never ending cycle of calling it your own. Styling by @cleoscheulderman

[#AccessTip. Design to the last detail] When an architect designs, we don’t just focus on one thing. We we design to the last detail, thoughtfully curated to the last aesthetic. We love this facade design by @shlarchitects of the Vendsyssel Theatre, Hjørring, Denmark (2017) It has beautifully simple colour scheme by day. Yet the pastel frosted facade illuminates different colours at night, turning it into a cultural node in the heart of Hjørring.

[#AccessTip. Use colour ] The rocking #Sydney based #Architects @tribestudio_ are making hearts flutter with their whimsical, block colour bathroom design for #HouseAuYeung. Colour is an amazing thing! This is a space we would happily stay to read a book ;)

[#AccessTip. Blur boundaries ] #Bathroom #sanctuaries is where we want to be. Bathing Bikou designed by #HannaMaring is one of nine unique suites at the new #Volkshotel in #Amsterdam. The bathroom is the centre piece of the hotel room. The semi-transparent screens are moveable, providing privacy when needed yet still allowing an open yet intimate atmosphere. The bath is a traditional Japanese Ofuro made from cedar wood and the screens colour scheme was to resemble the sky at different times of day. This is clever and beautiful way to change the way you view a space. Get us in the watery hotspot!

[#AccessTip. Think outside the box ] #MilanDesignWeek ideas still rocks our socks off! Parisian designer Marc Ange has us in a saucy frenzy with his sculptural retreat "Le Refuge”. The gorgeous palms create the most amazing geometric shapes. When the perfect design influences your mood and you soar into paradise, What we would give to doze under a canopy of #MillennialPink while sipping cocktails.
