Magnificent castle restored in a park of 9 hectares with hundred-year-old trees. At the end of a majestic driveway, magnificent castle in its green environment. 20 main rooms, reception rooms, dining rooms, billiard room, and 11 bedrooms. Restored and operated for some time as a bed and breakfast, the estate is composed of the main house, a beautiful renovated janitor’s house, numerous outbuildings, a beautiful swimming pool, and a park planted with century-old trees with a lake.
I’m dying. Where do I sign?!?! For sale via Le Figaro Properties.

Sean Anderson is one of the few designers I check in on regularly and when a new project pops up I immediately get excited. This home in Naples, Florida takes coastal living to a whole new, textural and elegantly neutral level.  Photos: Haris Kenjar.

The aesthetic goals of this project were simple and practical and relatively economical. It’s a place to go and relax but it’s not meant to be showy. It’s for comfort and delight. It’s sensible and easy.
That could not sound more perfect. This Inverness, CA home is designed by Corine Maggio of CM Natural Designs. (Photos: Carley Page Summers. Construction: Brett and Jack Matthews)

25 m2 (270 sq ft) in the sky of Paris. A 180° view of the roofs of Paris, the Eiffel Tower and the Sacré Coeur. Having recovered the attic space changed everything for this small flat with a generous view. We gained height and gave character to the whole by playing with transparency and colours. The entrance allows you to store your belongings discreetly in a cupboard that blends into the wall and hides the toilet. To access the mezzanine, which offers additional sleeping space, I designed a piece of furniture with multiple functions, as I like them, which blossoms in the living room: library, desk and staircase. Practical and beautiful. The small glass roof on the mezzanine and the bookcase with its columns stretch the height of the room. And the little bench/bed that allows the staircase to sit well, acts as a sofa and has fun looking a bit pretentious with a Frey Indian…
Marianne Evennou nails another project injecting lots of colour and storage into a tiny space making it stylish and very functional.

The previous owners of this elegant house had prioritised style over practicality. Our task was to make this a home that works for every member of the family. On the ground floor, both reception rooms have been painted in soft, neutral shades accented by bold, colour-blocked joinery. During the day, the rooms provide a comfortable, calm space to work or relax. Come the evening, the floor-to-ceiling curtains are drawn and the rooms become a cocooning space for reading or entertaining. A joyous playroom has been created in the basement. On the upper floors, the master bedroom and dressing room is now a soft, enveloping grown-up space, whilst the children’s rooms have been wrapped in lively patterns and furnished with a combination of contemporary and antique furniture.
