MALTA DOORS

this is a curated visual blog, born out a quasi obsessive need to document the colourful and quirky facades & doorways on the Maltese Islands. by Call me Gwen

Another one from Gozo 🍃💗

The light in Gozo, is something else 🤍

That strip of light, though ♥️

Impeccably maintained, majestic facade in Zejtun 💚

Perfect palettes in Kalkara <3

Glorious blue and white combo with added ironwork details in black, reminiscent of a musical score

House crush! 😍 soooo smitten with this facade and pair of doors - the grey / white combo is utterly striking! I really think we need to bring the #terrazzo mosaic back into contemporary residential design and architecture

Chocolately facades 😍🍫 || Finally, I can announce my first proper collaboration, and one which I’m pretty chuffed about. On receiving a call, back in February, to gauge my interest in a possible collaboration with Sigma paints, the first thing I thought was - this makes total sense! I could only say yes! So I’ve been hunting around the islands to sample some of the most deliciously coloured facades I could find. The hunt is still on, needless to say. The first in this series of posts is this show-stopper from Victoria, Gozo ♥️

Door 🚪 with a side of palm 🌴:: Naxxar has the best back alleys, where discoveries are always guaranteed 🧡

DAR SAN GORG // One of the dreamiest door-balcony combos I’ve come across in a long while! Easy to imagine stories of romance, serenading and the arrival / return of lovers against such a suggestive and picturesque backdrop 🌺🌿🌼🍃🌸🌱🌹

Mad about mint 😍💚 :: came across this mid-century modern build a few days ago in Mgarr - the afternoon light was to die for, as are the cool, fresh colours. Places like this give me hope that residential architecture in Malta, and most especially Modernist builds, can be safeguarded and appreciated

Pale blue and infused with a soft summer light! I know I’ve often said this, but Senglea is a veritable treasure trove for doors and residential builds. So much quirk and beauty around every corner. A stroll around one or more of The Three Cities, which are still relatively unspoiled, always leaves me feeling refreshed, and smiling 💙

PO’s BAR // incoming pastel overload! 😍 :: seriously, can a scene be any more perfect and effortless, than this? I swear the gentleman in the doorway isn’t ‘my model’, although his strike-a-pose-stance is absolutely on point! The dull and gloomy day, the facade colour and the faded signage all seemed to work in my favour
