A whimsical Manhattan apartment

Posted on Wed, 9 Aug 2023 by KiM

If you thought using at least 10 wallpapers in an apartment would be a sensory overload sort of experience, Studio DB proves in this space in Manhattan that it absolutely is not too much. It adds so much whimsy and mystical vibes, and each space transports you to another world. With other global elements as well it’s a bit of Asia, Morocco, Columbia combine and make it really dynamic and unexpected. Photos: Matthew Williams; Styling: Hilary Robertson.

The renovation of this Asa Norte apartment in Brasília was all about enhancing the social spaces. The empty nesters were downsizing from a larger duplex but still wanted the spaciousness they were accustomed to. The CoDA arquitetura design team embraced this challenge by creating integrated areas that maximize utility. A bedroom was repurposed to enlarge the living room, while the kitchen was reimagined to blend with the social zone seamlessly. Private spaces remained intact, with an expanded ensuite and versatile guest rooms doubling as home offices. The result? A unified, airy space embracing park views.

Grass Emerald

This apartment in Wrocław, Poland is such a note-worthy example of how to take a small space and make it grand. Not being afraid to use some colour (particularly loving the unexpected chartreuse baseboards), not shying away from using rather large furniture (that squishy sofa), adding an adorable hex tile floor in the kitchen to delineate it without taking up space, and all that built-in bedroom storage. Finchstudio did a wonderful job designing this apartment. Photos: Aleksandra Dermont.

The Epitome of Parisian Elegance

Nestled amidst the iconic streets of Paris’ 16th arrondissement, this sophisticated apartment by Caroline Andréoni captures the essence of French luxury living. The open plan layout seamlessly blends the living and dining areas. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the interior in natural light while carefully restored wood panelling warms the space. A contemporary gourmet kitchen continues the wood accent while the use of marble here and in the master ensuite suite heightens the sense of opulence.
