This Park Avenue apartment by Julie Hillman is another beautiful example of thoughtful curation. Hillman “feels that every item in a room should be in conversation with one another while maintaining its own significance.” Distinctive, timeless, and unique.

“I am drawn to natural pieces and finishes and artisan craftsmanship, I believe deeply in the integration of old and new, creating a timelessness. Taking into consideration the context and architectural history of a project is essential for my design process. I am forever sourcing antiques and have an eye for extraordinary pieces that might otherwise go unseen or unloved. Moreover, I see myself as a curator of spaces, as much as I do an interior designer.”

Beautiful and calm, collected and chic. Ladbroke Gardens by Hollie Bowden.

This is a captivating example of how to warm up a concrete shell and how to create cozy zones from a very open concept layout. This penthouse renovation extends across the four top floors of this Maastricht residential tower “Polvertoren’. The tower originally built in the 60s as accomodation for hospital staff has been completely renovated inside and out. A completed reworking of the floor plan on each level meant that each of the spaces connect in a way suited to the lifestyle of the owners. A brief from the clients referencing the tv show Mad Men, designer Jean Prouve and hotels across the world as sources of inspiration set the tone and style of this detailed renovation. Original features such as the formed concrete walls have been restored and left exposed to sit harmoniously against a mix quality new and natural materials. Designed by Nicemakers.

Sharing another layered and dynamic project by Marie-Caroline Willms, but this time more modern and urban. This is a renovated flat in the Barrio de Las Letras ‘hood of Madrid and has some gorgeous original details that have been restored/maintained like the exposed brick walls, support beams and tile floors. Marie-Caroline added in her unique and quirky touches with a mix of antiques and more modern furnishings. Nothing “trendy” about this space and I love it!!

“He redefines a free modernity that isn’t opposed to the past but rather incorporates historical references, a discrete ambience and a taste for the intimate while also being daring with bold combinations and through the imaginative use of light and space. Casiraghi delights in overturning the codes of interior design with surprising contrasts: neon light with ancient mirrors, precious fabrics with industrial resin, and antique furniture with extravagant plant displays, always with a seductive harmony and an invitation to travel, sometimes calm, sometimes exotic.”

It’s a marriage of timeless classicism and modernity, a respect for the past with an exploration of the new. A cursory glance and you think “Ah yes a lovely traditional Parisian apartment” but look more closely and you’ll see the twist. It’s like adding spice to the dish. Apartment in the 7th arrondissement of Paris by Fabrizio Casiraghi.
