Suspended Garden is a recently renovated Portuguese apartment by Apparatus Architects that combines mid-century style with modern comforts. Located in a 1970s tower in Restelo, it has a marble kitchen with views of Palácio da Pena. East facing living areas open onto balconies overlooking the Tejo River and Belém. Coloured mosaic tiles, Venetian stucco and accent walls define the rooms and reflect natural light. Hidden systems for climate, audio and home theatre provide discreet technology. Like what you see? It’s for sale here via Fantasic Frank Lisbon.

This extraordinary residence in Paris’ 16th arrondissement was built by Henri Deglane, the same architect that designed the Grand Palais. Not renovated since the 80s, designer Bryan O’Sullivan adapted it to 21st century living. He brought back elements that were previously removed, and enlisted many French artisans to restore plasterwork, millwork, and metalwork. Its grandeur and elegance is exquisite and the modern touches like Pierre Paulin sofas and Faye Toogood roly poly chairs create a wonderful juxtaposition to the classic architecture.

This 1930s apartment in west London was renovated and given a whole new stylish life thanks to designer Anna Møller. A foyer with the prettiest marble mosaic floor, an elegant and classic marble fireplace in the living room with mirror added to the alcoves, rich-toned wood cabinets in the kitchen, a wine-red drenched sitting room (this colour is FABULOUS), a sophisticated bedroom with dressing room and ensuite and an adorable kid’s room rounds out this gorgeous family home, and lots of moldings added to the walls (always a hit with me).

In El Born, Barcelona, John Brown Projects has reimagined a top-floor apartment with sensitivity to its architectural character and a fresh Mediterranean spirit. Catalan vaulted ceilings remain a striking feature, paired with natural tones and textures that evoke warmth and ease. A bespoke kitchen anchors the interior, while curated ceramics reflect artistry and travel. The result is an inviting retreat that captures the essence of Barcelona living.

Steps from the Palais Royal, the Fontaine Molière apartment by Studio Ebur unfolds in a graceful U-shaped plan where rooms slip easily one into the next. The grandeur of the 17th and 18th centuries lingers in lofty ceilings and tall windows, enriched by Versailles parquet and Burgundy stone. Revived beams, intricate woodwork and a spirited play of marbles and natural materials infuse the interiors with warmth, elegance and a distinctly Parisian timelessness.
