COMPILED BY VISI
From a majestic wooden home in Slovenia to a Cape Town-based illustrator’s empowering collaboration with BLAC, these are the top VISI picks of the week series – week 179.
1. The Wooden House by studio PIKAPLUS
“I’m blown away by the design and architectural beauty of this marvelous wooden house in Slovenia, says Editor-In-Chief Sumien Brink. “This residence was designed as a shelter from adverse weather elements.”

All the rooms, with the exception of the bathroom, are built in a way that lets the natural light of the surroundings in.

3. New Colours From Caesarstone
“Three new additions have been added to Caeserstone’s colour palette,” says assistant editor Tracy Greenwood. “The surface manufacturing company has taken to nature for the inspiration of the three stone-like finishes, which I absolutely love!”
Moorland Fog: A granite-inspired surface in shades of grey and taupe.
Rugged Concrete: this surface has a raw, aged feel, which adds a rustic edge to indoor spaces.
Mont Blanc: named after the highest peak in the Alps, this release encapsulates the romantic landscape with its light and dark grey mixture.
