My mind is once again blown by this modern family home in Montréal’s Plateau-Mont-Royal neighbourhood. Totally unassuming and blending in with the surroundings as la Shed Architecture always does SO WELL. Then you walk inside and Kim has a minor coronary that this is a house in Canada and IT HAS AN INTERIOR COURTYARD. One of my dreams come true. And then you have the stone steps leading to an outdoor spa and I’m dead. Landscape Design: Friche Atelier. Photos: Maxime Brouillet
The owner’s desire for an elegant and serene home in the hustle and bustle of New York saw interior designer Augusta Hoffman use custom finishes and a refined palette of tactile neutrals. The apartment is furnished with a balance of new and vintage pieces carefully curated but personal.

The designer simply calls this project a “Kitchen, pantry, and living room in this 80’s tract home turned Spanish Colonial dream.” I call it joyous, family-centred and packed with personality. Pattern and colour overload with practicality but also with fun. I now have to make that pantry my own! Coastal Kitchen and Pantry by interior designer Meta Coleman.

This Paris apartment’s previous owner had lived here for many decades. It was essentially a time capsule (check out the before photos here) when the new owners came into its possession. Agence Véronique Cotrel understood the importance of trying to maintain as much of the history as possible (bless them for doing “God’s work”) and removed carpet to uncover original hardwood, restored doors, hardware, cornices, windows and bathed the main spaces in shades of white. The result is so much fresher, and open and airy and gives an air of modernity to the otherwise historical space. What a beauty!!! Photos: Amaury Laparra.
I came across this apartment after falling down a rabbit hole of blog research randomness and had to share. This is the Barcelona home of Ana Viladomiu located in the iconic La Pedrera building designed by Antoni Gaudi. Clara Quintana Studio art directed this shoot for Santa & Cole lighting, with photography by Salva López. The materials and architectural detail make this soooo special. Must be a little strange though living in a building that has become a tourist attraction.
