The latest from Australia’s premiere luxury holiday accommodation purveyor, Contemporary Hotels, has me hankering for a little escape to Sydney. This light filled two bedroom corner apartment in a warehouse conversion in Surry Hills by Infinite Design would be a stylish inner city base to explore the sights and tastes of this exciting city. I can’t pack my bags fast enough.

I sometimes wonder how awesome it would be to be married to an architect….who could design me a home with this much attention to detail…where everything has its place. By Paris-based Agence Glenn Medioni.

Love the use of colour in this renovation of a one bedroom flat for young newlyweds in Hoxton, East London. Interior designer Cassidy Hughes has turned a tired space into something bright and airy with loads of personality.

If you are going to live in a 1930’s high-rise in New York City, the only way to go is GLAM GLAM GLAM! This apartment on the 33rd floor of Robert A.M. Stern’s 15 Central Park West is owned by a luxury bag designer, so no doubt interior design firm The Archers had to go luxurious with it. Drop dead gorgeous wallpapers by Gracie and Fornasetti adorn many walls, and the Gracie paper in the dining room is EVERYTHING – especially with the yellow curtains to play up the bold colour. The bedrooms are a playful mix of light/art deco and dark/gothic and I am totally smitten with each one. (This would make the best Airbnb!)

It may seem easy to create a contemporary space within a beautiful, historic shell. Just toss in the required areas and hope for the best. If only it was this simple. The redevelopment of this 130m² apartment within an old Viennese building saw the architects reassess the space, changing layouts ever so slightly, defining ideas, distilling the design. Refining and re-invigorating.

“The careful restoration of the apartment’s substance that is worthy of preservation goes hand in hand with the integration of modern elements, thus creating an exciting dialogue between the Old and the New.”
