Studio Elroy by LINTEL Studio For Architecture, carved from a heritage building’s basement, showcases the potential of inspired living in a compact space. Spanning a mere 28m2, this self-contained unit ingeniously houses a queen-sized bed, home office, kitchen, living area, wine cellar and bathroom. A protruding joinery unit defines indoor and outdoor spaces while allowing natural light to enter from above. The studio’s cochineal-red paint allows the layout to remain discreet. Instead of street views, changing shades of salmon to garnet, illuminated by sunlight and shadows, mark time inside.

Once in a blue moon an apartment directly overlooking the prestigious Parc Monceau comes on the market! The Parc Monceau clients jumped on the occasion, even if they had to trade in their spacious Haussmannien apartment for a series of quirky spaces. Located on the upper floors of a wonderful “hotel particulier” overlooking the park, this project was a real puzzle! In the end we managed to structurally open it up so much that now the light even flows in the darkest corners of this home. None of the authentic architectural elements survived the previous renovations, but the uncovering of the beautiful “violin” structures of the windows was poetic enough to inspire us throughout this whole process.
The exterior of this residence is everything you could want in Paris architecture, and the interior is indeed quirky but the uniqueness and those photo-worthy windows really makes this apartment stand out. Designed by Hélène Van Marcke. Photos: Cafeïne.

In inner Sydney, an artist and musician transformed their 19th-century Victorian terrace home, guided by their love for heritage, art and innovative ideas. The renovation incorporates hexagonal grey tiles, sparking a creative blend of materials, geometries, and textures. The design emphasizes openness, light and a strong indoor-outdoor connection. Sliding doors welcome in natural light, while a customized ‘cabinet of curiosities’ showcases their collections. The courtyard garden, reminiscent of a Victorian fernery, features vibrant art and unique architectural elements. Throughout, the original terrace’s charm is preserved, honouring its fireplaces, ceilings, floorboards, and stairs. Darlinghurst Terrace by Sam Crawford Architects.

This Greenpoint, Brooklyn home is a little bit modern but is definitively giving allllllll the quaint vintage vibes at the same time with its yellow kitchen (Farrow & Ball’s India Yellow), pink powder room, retro tiles, the sweetest bed nook and other charming touches.
