Vibrant penthouse balancing the iconic with the niche. With a simple brief of ‘as little white as possible‘, we had the pleasure of designing and curating the interiors of a newly built penthouse in a residential building in Kreuzberg. We accompanied the clients when they bought the property during the shell construction phase (right before COVID hit). The colours where consciously used to functionally define the open plan space – the kitchen is bright yellow, the dining area is kept in shades of red and the living room is drenched in green. A more atmospheric, nuanced design was chosen for the private area of the apartment, whereas all corners are carefully curated for a vibrant, lived-in composition. The goal was to create a rhythm of elements that pull interest and spark conversations, while being totally useful and not too precious. Each design decision in this project was taken with a full commitment – there are no half-measures here. And that adds to the joy, thinking of the final effect.
Such fun use of colours here, and I will always be smitten with bright yellow kitchens. That island of yellow tile is such a happy statement. This whole apartment is a statement, with such a wonderful energy. Designed by Studio Bosko.

Natasha Quick believes a home should reflect its owners, blending personal history with the character of the house. For this Notting Hill apartment, she reconfigured the floor plan, transforming a two-bedroom flat into three to suit a growing family. Original features like the fireplace, cornicing, and full-height paneling were reinstated. A redesigned kitchen-dining area created a social hub with integrated banquette storage, while the clients’ cherished art and antiques were thoughtfully refreshed and repositioned.

Batiik Studio crafts bold, elegant interiors with balanced shapes and rich colours. This 135 m² Parisian duplex in the 6th arrondissement was reimagined as a stylish family home. Each uniquely designed room creates a vibrant yet sophisticated atmosphere, turning everyday spaces into thoughtfully curated decor. The result is a harmonious blend of warmth, energy and timeless refinement.

This classic turn-of-the-century apartment is undeniably grand. However, for our client’s young family, it also needed to feel comfortably relaxed as well as playfully evocative. Tasked with designing both for intimate family moments as well entertaining friends, an overlay of custom-designed cabinetry and furniture adds character and purpose to each space. A textured glass doorway in the foyer, distorts the blue and brass coat cupboards of the mud room beyond. Additional display shelving and lighting celebrates the client’s art collection. In the kitchen, a bespoke bistro table & banquette seating invites cosy family meals while the living room’s hidden dry bar is an entertainer’s delight. When merging classic and contemporary, respecting the elegance of the existing architecture is essential. Strong injections of colour and layers balance the scale of each room, creating a light and liveable home that is truly bespoke.
Light and liveable this absolutely is! I tend to prefer less white than is used in this apartment but it really works here to keep it airy and bright and appear larger. And I must point out how fun that map fabric covered sofa is. By Inuti Design. Photos: Fanny Radvik; Styling: Linda Ring.

“In this Outremont condo noble materials reign, the interior design combines various marbles and rich wood textures and natural textiles to create a sophisticated yet understated atmosphere. The subtle interplay of the different materials adds a touch of timeless luxury without overwhelming the airy space. The finished condo offers a comfortable and inviting urban living environment.”

Luke Havekes, founder of the eponymous Luke Havekes Design, believes that there should always be a story at the heart of every space no matter what style and what a story this Montreal home tells. Richly textured, art filled, masculine and moody.
