This 60 sqm Haussmannian apartment in the 18th arrondissement of Montmartre is an absolute delight. The main living space is neutral with a touch of elegance (and some smokey mirrors add to the faux grandeur), and then the bedroom area is awash in enveloping deep shades of burgundy/mauve/dusty pink. Perfection. Designed by Lauranne Elise Schmitt. Photos: Alice Mesguich.

A captivating mix of historic charm and contemporary family living. The owners approached us after buying the property as their forever family home. We worked closely with Ailtire Architects and Wraxall, a Bath based building firm renown for their work on historic houses; undoing modern insertions and restoring original features more in keeping with the heritage of the 1840’s Grade II listed former Vicarage. We didn’t want it to feel overly done, nor impose a have stamp, rather gently re-work spaces with contemporary family life in mind, whilst respecting the original fabric of the building.
This home is oozing charm from every corner. I absolutely love this and as a forever home, I can imagine forever loving living here and never ever wanting to leave. Designed by Anna Haines. Photos: Paul Whitbread. (Check out more photos here)

There is a elegance and old world sophistication to this San Francisco Edwardian home designed (again) by Alecia Stevens. She frankly had me at Edwardian. A timeless stunner. Photos: Ken Gutmaker.

WOW this home is a beauty!!! A new build with traditional details that make it appear over a century old, and the interior gives Tuscan farmhouse vibes. Classic in every sense of the world, and once this home has been there a century it will be just as warm and inviting.
