An old plaster moulding shop on the ground floor of an early 20th century building in Barcelona was dark and derelict until architectural firm Valentí Albareda created a magical light filled home with central courtyard and a distinct modern flavour inside its rustic exposed brick walls. Love the almost sculptural feel to elements such as the staircase and shelving.

This incredible and spacious loft in Camden Town, London makes my modest sized home look like a miniature doll house. What a dream to have all of this square footage to play with! Interior architect and designer Marianne Tiegen created magic here and was very smart in her choices – the biggest rug I’ve ever seen anchoring the bulkiest sectional sofas ever with the largest bookshelves I’ve ever seen in a residential application…

I am a big fan of grey, and have been for a long time. It seems the homeowners of this 5 bedroom Victorian terraced home in London share my love.

Available as a location home though Shoot Factory.

It’s like I say time after time. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it certainly helps if it’s somewhere stylish and you can’t get more fabulous than this Madrid communications agency office by Casa Josephine. Oh those tiles!
