this week dwell magazine featured the home of architect Benedetta Tagliabue — a crumbling 18th-century flat in the middle of Barcelona. i don’t think i’ve ever seen such elaborate and gorgeous moldings the likes of these, especially in their dining room — simply not to be surpassed! the incrediblely beautiful tagliabue home has reached almost mythical status among the city’s architects and designers — “Have you ever been to Bene’s house?” is a question often heard in the city’s gatherings. for a full tour, and the complete story head on over to dwell.

karina from the beautiful blog, el beso out of buenos aires, Argentina shared these beautiful photos of a home designed by architect, Maria Hurtado de Mendoza. It was a lofty gorgeous space, located in Salamanca neighborhood of Spain, but was transformed to be a family home. The home is narrow and profound, as lots of homes in that neighborhood are, with an interior patio. Thank you karina for sharing this fabulous and most stylish home. for more from karina and beautiful buenos aires, visit el beso.
