Lapa is a particular project in Lisbon that transforms with the union of two apartments. From this dynamic, our intervention evolved into creating a global living experience akin to a townhouse per the client’s wish. Between the classic and the contemporary, expanding the social area (to integrate the kitchen, dining room, bathroom, and second office) brought a new soul to the house. We preserved the original paintings in the living room, setting the tone for the colour story and the materiality of the new elements integrated into the architecture and decoration. We designed custom furniture for this project and ensured the decorative lighting brought interest and contrast to the spaces.
WOW this apartment is spectacular!!! L’Éléphant creating drama and elegance once again and I am in awe of the original painted details on the walls and ceiling, which they thankfully maintained.

French interior designer Nicolas Payet of Agence Marn found this 78 sq m space in the attic of a Paris apartment building and set about completely renovating it and having a ton of fun creating a ‘contemporary and colourful cabin’ for himself and his 2 daughters (aged 7 and 11). Using a random assortment of many colours and adding lots of curves this apartment is quirky and has a playful energy that must be so pleasant to come home to. Photos: Hervé Goluza.

Quai de seine

Each and every Paris apartment I’ve featured on the blog knocks my socks off with the amount of creativity and space planning involved. This one designed by Santillane Design is no different, but is absolutely different in every way possible. You will never see more uniqueness and interesting and bold colour choices like they do in Paris. Blows my mind. The doorways of the reception rooms in this apartment are framed in brass for heaven’s sake! Photos: Julien Pépy. 

Set inside an old Sydney woolstore, Folk Studio’s Gambit Loft has had quite the glow-up. What was once a tired rental is now a warm, deeply personal home, rich with character. Original brickwork, concrete columns and lofty ceilings still do the talking, while natural stone, terrazzo and an earthy palette dial up the quiet luxury. Starting almost from scratch, the team opened up the living space, reworked the layout, and cleverly added storage and privacy, proof that heritage and modern comfort can happily coexist.

Collected, designed, and imagined elements form the foundation of a living space inspired by a walk from Portofino to San Fruttuoso. I’d add that this is giving Miami vibes with all the fabulous pastel colour combinations. This 90 sq m concrete box has been completely transformed by Fabian Freytag and it is now soft around the edges, very easy on the eyes and has lots of quirky and creative details that make this apartment stand out.
