Maison Numéro 20

Posted on Mon, 6 Mar 2023 by KiM

Located opposite the Visconti wood, a bucolic hidden garden of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Maison Numéro 20 benefits from the proximity of the Capital’s most prestigious publishers, design showrooms, antique shops and art galleries. Thanks to this endless target market of discoveries, it imposes a theatrical and eclectic style, which associates the joy of astonishment with its very personal vision of refinement and elegance. The interplay of materials accentuates the singular atmosphere of its achievements. Juggling brilliantly and with style between metals, lacquers and leathers, velvets and varnished woods, Maison Numéro 20 mixes contemporary exuberance with the elegance of classical proportions.

Harlington Manor

Posted on Sun, 5 Mar 2023 by KiM

This exceptional Grade II*-listed, 10-bedroom manor house is nestled in the centre of the pretty village of Harlington. With origins in the late 14th century, it has been updated many times by its various owners, resulting in a beautifully renovated house with a long and rich history. Extending over 8,300 sq ft internally, the house also has numerous outbuildings encompassing 1,905 sq ft, including a garage, a stable block, a barn and two annexes, meaning it is exceptionally flexible and full of potential. The manor’s various extensions and remodels have left the house packed with rare original features, such as four-centred Tudor fireplaces, moulded beams and a Tudor foliate boss, and some early 17th-century panelling.
The amount of character and history in this home is incredible and would be a dream to own. Harlington Manor for sale via Inigo.

An 18th century estate in Tuscany

Posted on Thu, 2 Mar 2023 by KiM

Tuscan living in an 18th century estate doesn’t get much better than this. A MUCH different vibe than the last project I shared of Gracinha Viterbo but this one is so perfect for the surroundings. Prominent Tuscan vibes with tiny touches of contemporary for casual living. What an incredible home this is.

The interiors of this home express our clients’ sense of refinement, joy and restraint. The home is punctuated by idiosyncratic combinations of nuanced color, luminous finishes and earthy materials. The layering of an extensive architectural and decorative materials palette yields depth and interest to the rooms while imparting a common thread of honesty, artistry and nonchalant luxury.

Charlotte’s Folly

Posted on Tue, 28 Feb 2023 by KiM

A Brothers Grimm hideaway that seems to sprout from the garden like a limewashed berry, Charlotte’s Folly is a luxury self-catering cottage nestled in 200 acres of Shropshire woodlands. Telling a sweet tale of craftmanship and nostalgia, this terracotta trinket is storybook architecture at its finest, a time-travelling family retreat that could have been lifted from folklore.
Designed by Emma Ainscough, this magical little 19th-century cottage is available for rent via Unique Homestays. I am completely smitten with the beauty of the estate (which includes ‘architectural marvels of Victorian stature’) and that gorgeous kitchen.
