Because I am now smitten with the easy-going, timeless, neutral style of Moore House Design I thought I would share an assortment of other spaces by this talented firm. Photos: Erin Little, Erin McGinn, Zach Dezon.

You would think ocean views in an apartment in Biarritz would be the shining moment but this entire apartment is designed with the most exquisite attention to detail with lots of curves and colours and patterns inspired by the ocean and the views from the windows. An absolute gem inside and out. Designed by Claude Cartier. Photos by Francis Amiand.

Simple yet elegant and classic. Such a beautiful apartment designed by Moore House Design. Light, airy, and sophisticated, this apartment renovation has a certain European je ne sais quoi. Part of a regal 1900’s Newport home that was converted into apartments in the late 20th century, this project was a full-scale design and renovation. Playing up its Victorian roots, our team worked to restore the home’s original character and added touches of eclectic Parisian charm. Custom features include full applied paneling throughout, floor to ceiling custom built ins, custom light fixtures, a custom mirror, built-in desk nooks, a kitchen update, a full bathroom renovation, and a built-in banquette dining and lounging nook. The end result is a space so effortlessly chic you’ll feel like you’re in the 4th Arrondissement instead of downtown Newport. Photos: Erin McGinn

I stumbled upon this kitchen by designer Lisa Mende and it immediately put a smile on my face. Most kitchens these days I find completely underwhelming and lacking any sort of creativity and uniqueness and this one is anything but that! It was designed for a showhouse and to my horror I learned the homeowner tore it out and redesigned it after the showhouse was over 🙁 It was great while it lasted… (photos: Kelli Boyd)

What was once a completely uninhabitable, crumbling, 12th century, 35,000 sq ft castle that sat untouched for over 60 years (see photo below), became an absolutely marvelous estate thanks to architect Domenico Minchilli and interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, who designed the castle as it would have been 200 years ago (maybe with the kitchen taking exception). This is exactly how you should redo a castle, by paying homage to its history. (Photos: Oberto Gili for Architectural Digest and Martyn’s website)
