It goes likes this: You get home earlier than usual, just in time for the sunset. Natural light allows you to enter and not trip over your belongings. The first thing you do is turn on the lamp next to the couch, then you take off your jacket and shoes, slip into something comfortable and head to the kitchen. You turn on the oven lights, fill up a kettle and take your favourite book off the shelf.
You wait for the water to boil and prepare your tea with phone in hand, then you move over to the couch. Sitting on the table next to you are your favourite design, house and living books. New spins on living, beautiful images and valuable tips.

The second reason is that these aren’t houses out of a fairy tale or a billionaire’s dwelling. They’re simply houses and apartments like any other. Food for thought.
