Exclusive eight-room hotel in an 18th century building in Begur, a complete project in which the studio has been in charge of the concept, branding and image as well as the whole restoration and decoration. The traditional Catalan house required a thorough structural reform to be later updated with traditional techniques and materials Quintana Partners also incorporated the latest technology to reuse energy and water resources to achieve energy sufficiency The starting point of the decoration are inspiring women from the early twentieth century, whose personality has been reflected in each room, such as Charlotte Cooper, English tennis player, the first woman to win the Olympic Games, Emilie Flöge, muse of the painter Gustav Klint, textile designer, or the dancer Carmen Amaya, a devotee of Begur.
Absolutely beautiful. What a dream to be able to spend a few nights here.

Hovey Design is a full-service staging and interiors styling firm founded by sisters Hollister and Porter Hovey located in Manhattan, Brooklyn and beyond. Love the simple, casual vibe and their use of graphic artwork that adds a lot of personality.

This New York City loft is drop dead gorgeous and I am completely smitten. It has everything: colour, pattern, vintage, modern, light and dark, texture, a little shine…. Todd Nickey and Amy Kehoe really outdid themselves with this project. (Photos: Haris Kenjar)

A multidisciplinary collective more than a classical architecture firm, Uchronia takes its name from the reflection on fictitional and ephemeral time. The studio creates encompassing “places of experience”, removing the barriers between technique and creativity.
Based in Paris, this firm created quite a spectacular space within this chalet-style home in Deauville, Normandy. That central stone fireplace is an incredible feature.

The first news about the Ranka manor dates back to 1638. It was a home for a couple of centuries and then became a school and then an infirmary, and then a school again, and a fire broke out in 1986 in one building, then restored, and then another fire in 1990 completely destroyed the building and only the exterior walls remain. It became privately owned in 2003 and much work done since. This estate sits on 20 ha, which includes 3 ponds. For the time being, four outbuildings of the Ranka manor have been renovated – the granary, the stable, the garden house and the New Castle. A barn was converted into a library with 10,000 books, the stable has been turned into a luxurious white hall, the garden house has two family apartments, and the New Castle is dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Bernadette’s Roman Catholic Chapel. There are 46 rooms – including 17 bedrooms and 21 bathrooms. Currently for sale via Realportico for $3.5M USD.
