It’s like I say wek in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Henne Fiveways by Brahman Perera.

“Child Studio enlisted their trusted collaborators in England and Italy to realise the bespoke interiors of this London residence, working closely with wooden cabinetry artisans and marble carving specialists. The meticulous craftsmanship is evident in custom handmade details appearing throughout the home, such as the recurring motif of soft undulating curves on the plaster ceiling coves, wooden furniture pieces and carved marble elements.”

Child Studio is a London-based design practice founded in 2017 by Alexy Kos and Che Huang. Renowned for their meticulously crafted interiors, the studio creates atmospheric spaces that evoke a nostalgic and cinematic quality, blending refined detailing with a distinct sense of mood and storytelling.

This Victorian terrace renovation designed by Kitty Lee Architecture unfolded over three summers, guided by heritage constraints and a focus on design harmony. Bathrooms were refreshed within the existing footprint, while stage two introduced a spacious, light-filled kitchen seamlessly linking indoor and outdoor areas. Inspired by a Marrakesh holiday, the palette highlights the client’s vibrant ceramics. Timber, brick, concrete and brass accents infuse warmth and texture, creating a joyful, playful atmosphere throughout the redesigned spaces.

Pink Palace

This historic house in Norfolk, Connecticut was reimagined by Berman Horn Studio with bold precision. Subtle layout shifts unlocked a full-width space flooding the interiors with air and light. A daring choice of pale pink monochromatic walls gave the architecture a fresh, electric calm. Furniture and art were curated across eras, from early American to 70s futurist, creating a worldly almost quirky mix. Every piece, every placement, was deliberate. The result is a home that hums with tension and delight – a pink-washed stage where history, humour and modern life collide.
