Colette van den Thillart designed this pied-à-terre in Toronto with lots of whimsy, plenty of sophistication and a healthy dose of “global”. So fabulously unique and the perfect mix of light, dark and colourful. (Photos: Alex Lukey)

Set in idyllic lush green surroundings in middle of the village of Ependes, this outstanding 16th century property, restored and converted into a home is a unique place in which to live. A peaceful haven in the Fribourg countryside! The Chateau rooms are bathed in natural light, have high ceilings and are full of charm with their original beams. This property includes the main building with some 420 sq m of living area, a building for relaxing on summer evenings, a “guest” annex with 2 bedrooms, bathroom, and a further annex of 2 apartments. For one’s enjoyment in the vast 7,549 sq m park are the infinity pool and summer kitchen. Right next door is the hammam, sauna and solarium, in the construction annexed to the pool.
This Swiss castle is magnificent inside and out! Photos and listing via Le Figaro Properties and Properstar.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Pickled Poet by Duet.

I think I love designers’ homes the best and why is that? Because they are their own client and the ideas just flow. It’s the true essence of their design spirit. This is the Fort Greene, Brooklyn home of Jenna Chused, the interior designer behind Chused & Co. Light-filled yet at times moody, vintage pieces sitting with custom, an elegant yet family-friendly home.

The Haussmannian bones are there but Paris-based architects Heju have carefully laid within this 130 m2 apartment a cooler than cool contemporary home. Minimalist arches, on-trend finishes, clean simple lines of what I call nouveau modernism break the code of the Haussmannian style without destroying the original fabric.
