I am head over heels in love with this apartment. Possibly more than the last one I featured by Pepe Leal. I generally hate blue, but I’m dying over the kitchen. And the photo above – is that moldings installed length wise all over the walls? I’d hate to be the one to clean that, but I love that idea! And the powder room sink setup! So cute!

What an absolutely beautiful, vintage-filled apartment this is! Located in Malasaña, Madrid, it is filled with many eclectic and unexpected touches that make it really unique. That screen above is to die for, the sofa cover is GORG (LOVE the draped arms), lots of modern artwork and bits of wallpaper for some added pattern. And there’s even a tree. Designed by Pepe Leal.

Warm and sophisticated with a tight colour palette of greens, tan and cream with pops of dramatic black this San Francisco house has ample entertaining spaces with low slung furniture to accentuate rather than block the view.  After all if your Russian Hill home looks out to Alcatraz Island then it’s always going to be about the view.

“A period home’s minimalistic redesign and extension focusing on supreme detailing, exquisite materiality and a richly layered palette. The interior architecture celebrates clean geometries and a boldness of form. A restrained use of colour punctuates a monochrome palette while bespoke joinery and selected fixtures show a dedication to craftsmanship.”

Architect and designer Elizabeth Roberts strikes again with another exquisite project transforming centuries-old homes in Brooklyn into modernized masterpieces. In this four-story 1850s brownstone designed for a fashion designer, an art consultant and their children, a premium was placed on the way the space and interiors felt, first and foremost. The result is a bohemian home that is equal parts monumental and tactile. Select restored elements, such as the delicate crown molding in the parlor, play against clean plastered walls. Impactful and modern interventions are rendered with exquisite materials and delicate details, such as the thin proportions of the railings and posts inside and out, an oversized island clad in expressive stone, a family room with an elevated hearth that turns into a bench and a travertine-clad master bath with custom tub. An exquisite balance is struck between bold architectural moves and delicate proportions.
