“On a steeply sloping site, an extensive build is perched beyond a classic cottage façade, where contemporary curves are underpinned by mid-century lines … Drawing inspiration from mid-century architecture and driven by the client’s passion for unique, highly detailed design resulted in a robust base of materiality, from concrete to brickwork, layered with warm, bespoke timber elements and unexpectedly colour saturated spaces.”

The owners of this house in Cobham, Surrey turned to Vaughan Design & Development to rescue their ground floor from the 1990s. The revival added more personality with texture and colour to the large open spaces. Gone are the swags and tails, stained carpet and orange-toned wood. What has emerged is a beautiful family home, welcoming and warm.

“The main reference that nurtured the design of this gut renovation is the Aman Hotel in Kyoto, Japan for its calm atmosphere. The beauty of the landscape was calling for that inspiration. Corinne’s team opted for an earthy palette with blue, green and yellow tones combined with raw wood, textural clay and soothing stone. This blend of materials gave a true sense of flow and balance throughout the property.”

With its seamless connection between inside and out celebrating the view and the surroundings and its natural yet luxurious materials palette this Santa Barbara home by Corinne Mathern Studio is a peaceful yet stylish oasis, a retreat from the everyday hustle and bustle.

“The three-storey Mariposa apartment is set in an iconic, brutalist listed building. The architectural challenge of this major renovation project was to combine five different apartments into one 500 sqm harmonious space … A reduced palette of five materials (Périgord stone, oak, bronze, travertine, and walnut) is used throughout to define the spaces and create a feeling of continuity. Inspired by the brutalist architecture of the exteriors, the apartment seems to have been carved in stone and creates a living space reminiscent of an alcove, which is both authentic and sophisticated.”

It’s almost the weekend and I’m dreaming and scheming of a getaway. The recently refurbished Daunt’s Albatross in Montauk on the east end of the Long Island peninsula looks like just the spot for a group of us. Now in my daydream, it’s summer and we explore the beaches and hike the trails or if it’s cold like now then we snuggle by the fire and indulge in the restaurants. Either way, the stylish yet relaxed new look for this family-run hotel is by Brooklyn-based interior designers Home Studios.
