Lavaca House, renovated by Lake Flato Architects, transforms an 1870s caliche block home in San Antonio’s historic Lavaca district into a vibrant, modern retreat. The design preserves the original stone structure while introducing contemporary elements that reflect the personality of the homeowner, an artist and collector. Art-filled interiors celebrate local talent, with each room offering surprise and charm. The home balances historic character with modern living, creating an adaptable, light-filled sanctuary deeply connected to its urban and cultural context.

I am completely smitten with this Brooklyn townhouse designed by David Lucido. It gives artsy museum vibes but in the best possible way. I love all of the warmth and cozy furnishings yet it’s totally chic, with beautiful colours to add drama and extra coziness in some of the spaces. I can only imagine the parties and gatherings the owner must host. Only cool people allowed 😉 Photos: Ori Harpaz.

This historic family home in San Anselmo, California is giving serious cottage vibes. A bit rustic, a bit traditional, very cozy and neutral and liveable. With a gorgeous kitchen not lacking in storage and a sun room with the coolest built-in seating that is perfect for lounging. Designed by Katie Monkhouse. Photos: Stephanie Russo.

Designed by J.Kidman Architects with interiors by Golden and Studio Tali Roth, this Melbourne home is a quiet yet powerful expression of art and spatial refinement. Rooted in Belgian minimalism, an elemental colour story and tactile layering create a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. Sculptural furniture, curated artworks and striking materiality shape a living experience akin to encountering a great piece of art. A reimagined spatial plan prioritizes northern light with interconnected volumes framing outdoor spaces. The result is a residence that transcends trends, evoking timelessness, contemplation and an intimate dialogue between form, texture and function.

The Lycabettus Townhouse in Athens, built in four stages since the late 19th century, reflects a rich architectural history. Restored into a single residence, it preserves original elements like cement tile floors, mouldings, and a marble staircase. New glass partitions enhance natural light, while custom furnishings blend with Ottoman antiques and Greek crafts. The design by Leda Athanasopoulou creates a seamless dialogue between past and present, honouring its heritage.
