The Sauvie Island River House project by Jessica Helgerson Interior Design saw a comprehensive overhaul of a house’s interior and exterior slated initially for demolition. Dating back to the 1970s and having undergone poorly executed remodels over time, the core structure held promise in the eyes of the design team. Their approach focused on reimagining the flow within the house to achieve simplicity and clarity. The long great room was partitioned into distinct kitchen and living areas, cleverly connected by a two-sided fireplace clad in earthy glazed brick. Responding to the clients’ request for warmth and lively hues, the walls were adorned with douglas fir panelling, paint and wallpaper in a recurring palette of terra cotta, mustard, teal and blue reminiscent of the house’s original era.

Ok I’m packing my bags and moving to Picts Hill, Langport in Somerset. Though luckily I can save myself the trip because it looks like this incredible home is in the process of being sold. I am IN LOVE with this. Gothic style and stained glass windows, Victorian minton tile floors, many fireplaces, acres of land to landscape… I’d have to do something with that kitchen though. It’s as bland as a hospital room. Listed with Roderick Thomas.

The apartment on Rue du Cirque in Paris’ chic 8th arrondissement by architectural designer Isabelle Stanislas is a marriage of style and substance, of bespoke and vintage. From its grand entrance hall to the sleek, modern kitchen its emphasis is on contemporary luxury living while celebrating the historical shell that contains it.

This renovation of a classic mid-century home in Los Angeles by And And And Studio is a masterclass in elevating a tired old building into a contemporary family home while respecting its design roots. A complete renovation saw the designers gut then rebuild. The result is light-filled and open plan with clean sleek surfaces. Indoors and out meet seamlessly allowing the family easy access to a fabulous pool area.

“This property is situated on the canals of Marina Del Rey and features ocean views on the top floor. The ambience is unique, and the home feels just like an Italian palazzo in the heart of Los Angeles. The home boasts 5 bedrooms, 6 baths, an elevator, sauna, and various living spaces and verandas. Playful, strong marbles were used throughout, alongside Italian-sourced lighting and special items found internationally and at local flea markets.”
