In Biarritz, designer Camille Lavigne has reimagined a 19th-century apartment with sweeping views over the ocean and casino as a refined yet timeless retreat. Light moves effortlessly through spaces that reflect the rhythm of the sea and surrounding rocks without falling into coastal clichés. Soft natural tones, organic textures, and fluid lines shape the atmosphere. With artisans’ craftsmanship, Lavigne introduced thoughtful details and elegant finishes, giving the apartment both sophistication and enduring character.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Office London by Joyce Sitterly.
Offices across the UK, from the West Coast of Scotland to London, are realising the importance of a well-considered workplace design for team motivation. So whether this is the midcentury aesthetic you want for your office in Camden, or a different vibe altogether in Ayrshire, office refurbishments help you cultivate a space that you and your employees love visiting any day of the week.

In the coastal town of Caldes d’Estrach, John Brown Projects designed Armonia, a serene retreat that captures the essence of Mediterranean living. Owned by a Catalan family now based in Australia, the beach house offers an escape from southern winters into long Spanish summers. Modern comforts are balanced with traditional character, creating an elegant, deeply personal home. Within the house time slows, inviting relaxation, connection and the enduring rhythm of coastal life rooted in heritage and memory.

Steps from the Palais Royal, the Fontaine Molière apartment by Studio Ebur unfolds in a graceful U-shaped plan where rooms slip easily one into the next. The grandeur of the 17th and 18th centuries lingers in lofty ceilings and tall windows, enriched by Versailles parquet and Burgundy stone. Revived beams, intricate woodwork and a spirited play of marbles and natural materials infuse the interiors with warmth, elegance and a distinctly Parisian timelessness.

With symmetry, balance and layered textures, the farmhouse embodies timeless design and understated warmth.
