Residence Tuileries, designed by Necchi Architecture, is a 100 m² two-story townhouse located in the 1st arrondissement steps away from Tuileries Gardens and the Louvre. It is as elegantly Parisian as you could want, with elements of the 80s and 90s added in. Now this is where I would want to stay on my first visit to Paris….and I can! It is available through Pied À Terre website – a place to find architect-designed, unique apartments & townhouses unlike what you can find at a hotel or Airbnb. Photos: Ludovic Balay.

Black and Milk have transformed an apartment in London’s Barbican Estate into a peaceful retreat for a newly retired couple. Embracing the flat’s unique character, the team carefully balanced its Brutalist roots with a fresh modern sensibility. They reworked the layout for contemporary living, introduced premium materials and crafted a bespoke kitchen that nods to the original design, creating a timeless home that beautifully blends heritage with thoughtful, updated design.

The redesign of this Montreal pied-à-terre by LES ENSEMBLIERS reimagines a two bedroom apartment into a seamless one-bedroom living space. A significant custom closet optimizes storage, while the primary living area balances sleek hard surfaces with soft plaster walls, velvet and bouclé. Thoughtfully curated local accessories and curvaceous, low-profile furniture maintain unobstructed river views. A curved kitchen island and minimalist cabinetry enhance openness, blending elegance with architectural integrity.

This full gut renovation of a 2800 square foot existing loft apartment located in the heart of Soho offers a refuge of calm for the homeowners in contrast to the bustle of Soho just outside the front door. The design concept worked to achieve a tranquil respite through an encompassing interior that feels at once calm and cozy. A relatively minimal architectural expression achieves this serenity when paired with the lived-in and eclectic curation of furniture, lighting, and art. The warmth of white oak millwork, hand-finished limewash, and plaster wall treatments ensure the space feels approachable and unified. Vintage pieces were collected on trips to antique fairs, like Brimfield and Round Top and are paired with contemporary furniture and art, primarily from independent makers.
Designed by Stephanie Betesh of Ember Studio, this loft is exactly the respite I would want from the hustle and bustle of the crazy city outside those windows. It is incredibly serene, earthy and organic. Everything you need to relax when you walk in the door. Photos: David Mitchell.
