Inspired by the Mada’in Saleh rock tombs in Saudi Arabia, architectural designer Amey Kandalgaonkar has conceived a modern home embedded into the side of an enormous rock.

Bulgaria-based studio Brani & Desi (founded by twin sisters Branimira Ivanova and Desislava Ivanova) designs modern spaces where geometry, colours and functions have equal responsibility. Given this threefold focus, it is no surprise that the duo has turned to abstract painter Piet Mondrian for inspiration. Mondrian pioneered De Stijl, a movement that revolved around the simplification of form and tone. In the work of Mondrian, this approach most often materialised as linear compositions rendered in red, white, blue, and yellow—an aesthetic at the core of Brani & Desi’s plans for their Breakfast With Mondrian apartment — via My Modern Met

This 1957 home in Houston, Texas makes a statement from the street thanks to a peaked overhanging roof at the entryway, pink Roman brick, and Cypress trim. Dangling from the large wooden beam on the patio is a Sputnik lamp, the perfect accent to the teal front door and its gleaming chinoiserie plate. The captivating light fixture is an original feature of the house, designed by builder Donald Stotler. Stotler was so enthralled with the launch of the Sputnik space launch — which was also in 1957 — that he commissioned a Sputnik light fixture, earning the home the nickname the Sputnik house — via Curbed
