It was a gut demolition and reimagining of this São Paulo apartment by Memola Estúdio that created expansive open-plan social spaces with killer views. Wooden floors warm the brutalist concrete shell while white walls bounce the light into the apartment and provide a backdrop for the owners’ art collection. New and old furniture pieces share the neutral tones of the finishes with the “new color palette inspired by the autumn tones of the sunset that appears on the horizon.”

This bright and unexpected reimagining of a London pied-à-terre by Studio Peake is a “playful blending of opposites and an interplay between old and new – a dash of unexpected colour or detailing; that element of surprise.” Think pattern and texture, a comfortable overcrowding of furniture, books and art, personality and fun.

The owner’s desire for an elegant and serene home in the hustle and bustle of New York saw interior designer Augusta Hoffman use custom finishes and a refined palette of tactile neutrals. The apartment is furnished with a balance of new and vintage pieces carefully curated but personal.

This Paris apartment’s previous owner had lived here for many decades. It was essentially a time capsule (check out the before photos here) when the new owners came into its possession. Agence Véronique Cotrel understood the importance of trying to maintain as much of the history as possible (bless them for doing “God’s work”) and removed carpet to uncover original hardwood, restored doors, hardware, cornices, windows and bathed the main spaces in shades of white. The result is so much fresher, and open and airy and gives an air of modernity to the otherwise historical space. What a beauty!!! Photos: Amaury Laparra.

I came across this apartment after falling down a rabbit hole of blog research randomness and had to share. This is the Barcelona home of Ana Viladomiu located in the iconic La Pedrera building designed by Antoni Gaudi. Clara Quintana Studio art directed this shoot for Santa & Cole lighting, with photography by Salva López. The materials and architectural detail make this soooo special. Must be a little strange though living in a building that has become a tourist attraction.
