Architect’s Eye: Andrew Skurman

While I am focusing on all my travel essentials, I didn’t want to leave you without one great post to hold you over for the next week (yes, I am taking a week off- so be sure to check instagram for fun photos). I recently came across the work of Andrew Skurman Architects who operates out of San Fransisco and Paris. The architectural team does a breathtaking job of incorporating unique elements into timeless architecture to create stunning masterpieces across the globe.

From French, to Georgian, to Mediterranean design, these architects take houses to new heights by adding the perfect amount of character for things not to look too “new,” as well as the addition of carefully appointed landscaping. The craftsmanship is spoken for in the eye of the architects, whose details are superb in every way. I hope you will agree!

Have a wonderful weekend/week and I will see you all as soon as my jet lag is recovered!  XO-TPB

A sweet bathroom. So cleaver to do the step up to the tub. I am also a huge proponent of bathrooms that open to the outside.

An ideal bathroom, serene and simple. Look at the wall against the tub…see that detail! Not so simple after all!

Love the U-shaped mold of the ceiling. Of course, I love the wallpaper as well!

A more Mediterranean approach….enchanting and made of European dreams.

These architects are truly crafted with the gift of knowing what will be appeasing to the eye. Their placement is perfection.
