It’s like I save week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere super stylish. Farage Headquarters by Greg Natale.

This Madrid home by Tristán Domecq is all about quiet luxury. With its dark timbers and liberal use of stone the lines are a contemporary riff on art deco motifs all the while respecting its historical elements such as the elaborate cornices. It may seem at times a little constrained and carefully curated then the quirkiness of the wicker chairs in the style of Chris Wolston and the feminine touch of the floral painting bring a smile to your face. Elegant, discrete with a quick flick of a smile.

Perched atop Sorrento’s cliff, this 1960s gem by McGlashan Everist Architects underwent a meticulous modernization. The clients, deliberating for a decade, sought to preserve its essence while integrating modern comforts. Adapting the floor plan for multi-generational use, the original design’s integrity was maintained. Careful deconstruction allowed for upgrades like hydronic heating and double-glazed windows, blending seamlessly with the original aesthetic. Artisan trades revitalized features, ensuring a successful marriage of past and present in this iconic home’s renovation. Sorrento House by Cera Stribley.
