DOSSIER

I don’t know about you, but it seems all of my good friends are moving out of New York City to upstate New York. If they aren’t moving there permanently, they are in the midst of buying a weekend/summer cabin. I’ve never considered living in the country, but my fiancé grew up in Ireland, roaming his family’s 180-acre horse farm and he wants the same for our kids one day. Because of this, I’ve started to notice more upstate/woodsy interiors that I could live with. My current obsession is the home of architect and design duo Takaaki Kawabata and Christina Kawabata of Takatina. A 1,100 square foot cabin turned into a single room home which is both minimal and functional for their family of four. I could see myself living in an open space that invites the outdoor views inside while remaining modern and fresh… just as this house does. See more images of the home on Remodolista and NY Times and read Christina’s interview over at Apiece Apart.
