This château’s interior is so beautifully restored (all that exposed stone….*sigh*) and the outdoors is the icing on the cake. 6 lakes AND a pool?! I’m SOLD! For sale (price undisclosed) via Kretz.

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 and there’s nowhere more stylish than a design studio. This one is the studio of Murudé in London.

Gent-based JUMA Architects extended an existing farmstead with a striking black volume, creating a harmonious blend of old and new. Positioned as a buffer between the driveway and garden, the new addition adopts the farmstead’s design language with a simple rectangular layout and modest gable roof. Inside, a spacious living area benefits from large windows, a black ceiling and a soft terracotta-toned polished concrete floor. A trapezoid fireplace connects spaces, while the farmhouse retains its charm with wooden beams, plank floors and Belgian bluestone tiles.

“Nestled in the hills of Laurel Canyon, this project aimed to extend and remodel the kitchen, a central space open to all main living areas. Ensuring harmony with the home’s MCM aesthetics was paramount, including a prominent peninsula island designed as a standout furniture piece, along with a dedicated banquet seating area for intimate family meals.”

Built for adventure and togetherness, our Sun Valley Ski House offers the perfect blend of functionality and fun. With ample sleeping spaces, two kitchens, and multiple areas for lounging or gathering, this ski house in Sun Valley is designed to be the ultimate retreat. Lovingly restored, this home is the launch point for endless adventure, and the interior reflects that with its playful, welcoming design.
Being able to hang out in a cozy and warm (but very cool!) home like this would definitely have me appreciating winter more. Designed by Yond Interiors; Builder: Hobbs Builders; Photos: Malissa Mabey; Styling: Jen Paul.
