The renovation and extension of this decades-old ski chalet required full interior architectural design and detailing, space planning, and interior decoration. The needs of a young family and their guests, combined with the functionality essential to a ski chalet, underpin the design concept – celebrating nature through the choice of materials and honouring culture through bespoke craftsmanship.
This chalet is so very Swiss Alps but with some unique touches by the defying-all-trends designer Hubert Zandberg. I love that every one of his projects is so full of pattern and texture and is as inviting as can be. And not a single trend to be found! Photos: Giulio Ghirardi.

Designer Joris Van Apers calls this 17th century villa in a castle in Lucca, Italy, “Tuscany at its best”. Oh yes honey this ABSOLUTELY IS. I could stare at these photos for hours. The colours, the textures and the views outdoors are spectacular. Photos: Michael Paul.

This full gut renovation of a 2800 square foot existing loft apartment located in the heart of Soho offers a refuge of calm for the homeowners in contrast to the bustle of Soho just outside the front door. The design concept worked to achieve a tranquil respite through an encompassing interior that feels at once calm and cozy. A relatively minimal architectural expression achieves this serenity when paired with the lived-in and eclectic curation of furniture, lighting, and art. The warmth of white oak millwork, hand-finished limewash, and plaster wall treatments ensure the space feels approachable and unified. Vintage pieces were collected on trips to antique fairs, like Brimfield and Round Top and are paired with contemporary furniture and art, primarily from independent makers.
Designed by Stephanie Betesh of Ember Studio, this loft is exactly the respite I would want from the hustle and bustle of the crazy city outside those windows. It is incredibly serene, earthy and organic. Everything you need to relax when you walk in the door. Photos: David Mitchell.

This historic family home in San Anselmo, California is giving serious cottage vibes. A bit rustic, a bit traditional, very cozy and neutral and liveable. With a gorgeous kitchen not lacking in storage and a sun room with the coolest built-in seating that is perfect for lounging. Designed by Katie Monkhouse. Photos: Stephanie Russo.

Located in back country Darien, previous city-lifers relocated their family to the charming village in hopes for a peaceful homestead. Having no recent renovations within the last few decades, Becca Interiors worked to reinvent the home to not only update it to suit the needs of the family, but also cast new life into it. Collected, customized, and antique pieces were implemented throughout the outfit of this home making it a true labor of love. This nearly 8000 sq/ft home no longer lives as a home from the past, but is now reinvigorated leaving enough room for its new family to make countless fond memories.
This is what I call classic – classic neutral colours that are really beautiful and easy to work with, classic decor that would stand the test of time, classic all around vibes that make this livable and loveable.
