Designed for a family with young children, this French Norman-style home exudes a stately bearing, but the overall design is oriented towards sun-filled, open rooms and an indoor-outdoor lifestyle with an inviting loggia, terrace, pool and fire pit.

A Fisherman by a Mountain Creek (1871)
Hermann Pohle (German, 1831–1901)
Pohle places the solitary fisherman within a landscape defined by clarity and stillness. The mountain creek moves through rocks and vegetation with quiet energy, while the figure remains small and contemplative beside the flowing water.
The composition emphasizes harmony between human presence and nature. Rather than dominating the scene, the fisherman appears absorbed into the landscape, participating in its rhythm rather than interrupting it.
Light and detail give the environment freshness—sparkling water, textured stones, and dense greenery carefully observed. Yet the emotional tone remains calm and reflective rather than purely descriptive.
It’s a pastoral vision of solitude, where labor, patience, and nature coexist in balanced silence.

An Edwardian-era bookshop (early 20th century)
Looking at this photo, you can feel the warmth radiating from the oak floor and the banisters. The space wraps around you like an invisible veil of frozen time. Gazing at the sunlit books, only the fondest childhood memories come to mind.
