The redesign of the historic hide warehouse at Strandgade 104 in Copenhagen by David Thulstrup seamlessly blends heritage with contemporary luxury. This meticulous transformation reimagines the 218-year-old industrial structure into four exclusive apartments while preserving its architectural essence. Natural materials, including Dinesen wood planks, highlight the building’s character while expansive windows frame views of the canal and city, enhancing the connection between old and new. A central core integrates essential amenities without disrupting the open-plan layout. Featuring a penthouse, single-floor residences and shared wellness spaces, this project epitomizes refined, modern living within a historic framework.

“This Parisian pied-à-terre combines Haussmannian elegance with a modern décor. The classic volumes, mouldings, and fireplace add a timeless touch, while the marble floor patterns and soft hues create a subtle contrast, enhancing the serene atmosphere of the space.”

Batiik Studio creates bold, refined interiors, blending balanced shapes, vibrant colours and storytelling. The result? A softness, cheerfulness and above all elegance.

I guess by definition Milan = sophistication but this apartment designed by Quincoces-Drago & Partners is definitely fitting right in and maybe even raising the bar. I am head over heels for that kitchen, as it looks like it’s just furniture rather than having a typical functional kitchen appearance. And any designer who uses Uchiwa III wall lamps (Japanese fan) by Ingo Maurer is going to capture my attention. Photos: Alberto Strada.

Not sure you can handle the daunting task of owning a castle? How about an apartment in one? (I know this is more of a manor house than a castle but it might as well be a castle given the photo above). You get the best of both worlds – living in something so gloriously historic and expansive on the outside but having a bit more manageable space on the inside. And unlike most castle/apartment conversions I’ve seen this one has SO MUCH incredible original details. Located in West Sussex, England, this has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 reception rooms, communal gardens of 6.5 acres with tennis court. This looks like it is about to be sold, for £950,000 via Jackson-Stops.
