Our brief was to re-design the clients Pied-a-Terre, including a new kitchen and bathrooms whilst conjuring a ‘Georgian-light’ interior. The previous owners had stripped the maisonette of all its original features and painted everything white so it looked quite stark and clinical. Our clients were keen for us to re-introduce architectural details and inject warmth and character to each space. We added half height panelling in the stairway, living and dining room to bring gravitas and depth, and layered rich colour palettes with antique textiles, Georgian pieces of furniture and bespoke elements. The Devol Sebastian Cox kitchen provides a contemporary contrast to the more traditional elements of the flat.
This is the perfect respite in the busy city to relax, put your feet up and feel as comfortable as can be. Classically British without the stuffiness. Designed by Anna Haines. Photos: Paul Whitbread.

This 60 sqm Haussmannian apartment in the 18th arrondissement of Montmartre is an absolute delight. The main living space is neutral with a touch of elegance (and some smokey mirrors add to the faux grandeur), and then the bedroom area is awash in enveloping deep shades of burgundy/mauve/dusty pink. Perfection. Designed by Lauranne Elise Schmitt. Photos: Alice Mesguich.

The Wilam Ngarrang Retrofit project highlights the environmental, social, and financial advantages of retrofitting Melbourne’s inner-city apartments. Kennedy Nolan implemented a ‘minimal-intervention’ approach to upgrade a 1970s Fitzroy apartment block. The retrofit improved thermal performance, extended the building’s lifespan and enhanced tenant amenities. Key goals included achieving net-positive energy, reducing water demands, minimizing construction waste and carbon emissions and promoting zero-waste operations. The project retained the building structure, added efficient water systems, a 33kW rooftop solar array and heat recovery ventilation. Tenants enjoy up to 80% bill savings, with two units offered below market rates through non-profit real estate agency HomeGround.

“Back in 1911, businessman Joan Llopis commissioned a building in the Catalan district of Eixample to Marquis Enric Sagnier Villavechia (1858-1931) for him and his family. The prolific architect designed a noble apartment on the main floor for Llopis and his wife and three adjacent floors for each of his three daughters. The ground floor of the building would serve as a textile warehouse for the Samaranch family. A century later, this noble Principal keeps the splendor of its past with original elements like the marble floors and entrance columns after a major restoration turned the space into a chic and eclectic apartment.”
