This 7 bedorom, 9 bathroom, 11,500 sq ft new build in Encino, California was given an absolutely stunning interior that is warm, timeless and full of lived-in character thanks to designer Christina Cole. I can barely get passed the kitchen – the Calacatta Cadia marble, the hammered brass wrapped island, the stunning white oak & glass uppers (those curves!) and of course a butler’s pantry. Much of the furniture is very curvy and plush which adds sooo much coziness. The warm, soft tones of all the walls and furnishings and wood accents are so soothing. It is a wonderful mix of elegance and comfort. Photos: Nils Timm.
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.
The redesign of the historic hide warehouse at Strandgade 104 in Copenhagen by David Thulstrup seamlessly blends heritage with contemporary luxury. This meticulous transformation reimagines the 218-year-old industrial structure into four exclusive apartments while preserving its architectural essence. Natural materials, including Dinesen wood planks, highlight the building’s character while expansive windows frame views of the canal and city, enhancing the connection between old and new. A central core integrates essential amenities without disrupting the open-plan layout. Featuring a penthouse, single-floor residences and shared wellness spaces, this project epitomizes refined, modern living within a historic framework.

With offices in California and Massachusetts, Katie Martinez Design respects a space’s history and architecture while incorporating timeless design elements. For the 1740 Ripley Residence, the firm led a full renovation and expansion, collaborating with the owners to introduce rich layers of colour and pattern. They sourced primarily vintage and handcrafted pieces and designed the cabinetry, bathrooms and finishes with thoughtful attention to detail.

This newly built Atlanta home was another beauty by architect Stan Dixon that was thoughtfully designed to blend in with the 1920s neighbouring homes. This one is a bit more elegant than the last home but also unpretentious and very liveable, with elements I adore – pedimented doorways, Swiss-style millwork, whitewashed brick, a secret doored butlers pantry, weathered stone floors, wood-burning fireplace in the kitchen…Interiors by Carolyn Malone.
