5 Dream Spaces and Soundtracks to Match.
This week we have started ‘The 5TH Radio,’ a Spotify channel with a range of 5 playlists to suit your every mood. To visually guide you through each playlist, here are 5 dream spaces and a corresponding music we would link up to a record player or speaker in each interior.

A DISCO IN THE BUBBLE PALACE

FRENCH AND SLOW JAZZ IN COUELLE'S ARCHITECTURE-SCULPTURE
The Architecture of Jacques Couelle again blurs the line between nature and architecture, as well as building and sculpture. Couelle achieved this harmony through his adaptation of the design of the home to the surrounding terrain and the future inhabitants rather than the other way around. Natural slopes of the land, natural human positioning and the direction of light dictated the design.

- Under a Blanket of Blue - Stacey Kent
- Come Away With Me- Norah Jones

ACOUSTIC AND BLUES ROCK IN BACIOCCHI'S ANTIQUE GEM HOUSE
Architect Roberto Baciocchi champions the importance of being in harmony with the original message that an old building wants to communicate, when renovating/renewing a space. Colours and textures of the space echo the spirit and history of Paris; sofas are covered in velvet, Baciocchi’s favourite fabric because of its magical ability to reflect light.
