COMPILED BY VISI
From a holiday home celebrating small spaces and a cool ice cream store collab to sneakers made entirely of paper, these are the top VISI picks of the week series – week 269.
1. Tiny Holiday Home
“This compact 55 m2 house near Amsterdam was designed by Chris Collaris and i29 Interior Architects,” says Online Editor Lindi Brownell Meiring. “The home, which is clad in black pinewood, is divided into four volumes of different sizes to maximise the use of space.”

2. BHC Student Lights
“Specialist local interior design and decorating school BHC’s latest project tasked their students with creating a series of lights,” explains Managing Editor Samantha Charles. “Each floor lamp manufacturing cost was briefed to be under R1 500, using only natural finishes limited to three materials. Job well done!”
