Understated Elegance...

A project by Kengo Kuma for a hotel in Kyoto. A beautiful space, minimal yet exudes the feeling of warmth.  It was done as a model room for a hotel. Not sure if it is built. Will definitely stay there on my next visit if it is :)

 Love the bathroom space...

Hotel Daniel Vienna...

Aaahhh... Such a nice looking hotel...Makes me wanna book a flight to Vienna straight away.

Love everything about it. Not just the fact that it is located in a beautiful city but it has design streaming out from everywhere. The rooms, the bakery (open to everyone), the architecture and of course the affordable price, no wonder they brand it Urban Stay, Smart Luxury... Oh when will i get to be there?

Happy Friday...

It's Friday too soon,

Finally decided on the dates for out next trip... we are going to Hong Kong and Taipei.

Now all we need to do is book the hotels and plan our itinerary.

So much to see, am really excited as this will be our first trip in quite awhile. Also the HK Architectural Biennale is also happening. Will be sure to make our way there. Hoping to also catch some Star Architects, like the recent Pritzker price recipent, perhaps?

Wish we could stay at the Upper House... :)

Bali high...

Went and back... too fast, too short... that's how i would describe our Bali trip.
Last went to Bali about 6 years ago, so much has changed. Very commercialise now. Especially Ubud and Seminyak area. Prefer the old Bali. Traffic is pretty ridiculous too. Kinda like a mini Jakarta now.
Best thing we did was to hire a driver to drive us around. (pleasant guy name Putu). With JW in tow it was not easy but we survived, even managed to squeeze in a few art galleries and hotel hopping.
Went to see UMA in Ubud and UMA Sapna in Seminyak. Visited Kendra Gallery Gaya Gallery and BIASA artspace. We even managed to see a Chagall and Gauguin
Wished we covered more. But hey it was supposed to be a relaxing holiday. And relaxed we did.
Stayed at Alila Villas Uluwatu. Beautiful Site, well designed hotel but unfortunately service was not as we expected from an Alila hotel...
All in all, a good break and a well deserved holiday. I think JW enjoyed it the most.
