amazing architecture

today i'm admiring the striking architectural detail in the following homes. it seems i'm daydreaming of geometry, symmetry, floor-to-ceiling windows, intricate mouldings, arched doorways...

the interior windows are gorgeous (though a major no-no for anyone for children) but the grid above the fireplace is perfection in its purest form. don't you love the built-ins alongside it?

this space is, to me, a rare example of dark trim done right. i'm typically a fan of white mouldings but here the rich color accentuates the bold detail surrounding the doorway, mimicked by the silhouette of the chair and the outline of the rug.

a curved desk tucked into a bay window — what could be better than that? truthfully i could do without the rest of the dreary furnishings...

who hasn't imagined living the loft life? the high ceilings are spectacular and the archways on either side of the loft create delightful symmetry between the windows/doors on the left and the open space on the right.

this sunroom, however, is today's pièce de résistance. french doors, glass walls, open windows... architecture truly is an art form.
