Villa Les Jours Heureux by Caprini & Pellerin combines traditional charm with modern sophistication. Set among pine trees it features a main house and guesthouse crafted from natural stone. The interiors blend Mediterranean and Greek influences, offering spaces like a bright living room with vintage touches, a bespoke rug inspired by local topography and a retro-style playroom. The guesthouse offers luxurious accommodations with a spa, complete with a sauna, hammam, indoor pool and fitness centre.

An old alpine farm from the eighteenth century, a three-year renovation program undertaken by its owners, who then dreamed of an elegant and warm interior. To do this, the decorators create a dialogue between styles, mix noble materials: marble, mohair velvet, bronze and design furniture with curved lines. They offer them a timeless place that is both authentic and contemporary.
About as ski-resort/winter chalet-ing in France as it gets. Such a beauty, and so much warmth with most of the spaces enveloped in wood. I could 100% live in a wood home. Designed by Virginie Friedmann and Delphine Versace of Paris-based Friedmann & Versace. Photos: Christophe Coënon.

A lovely Mediterranean home located in the flourishing community of Manhattan Beach, California received a significant renovation by designer, Mandy Graham. The original living quarters were reappointed entirely, creating a renewed dynamic that radiates light and space. The existing windows and central fireplace of the former living room allowed the creation of a new perspective. Graham chose this location for the chef’s kitchen and adjoining dining area. The designer prescribed the same attention to detail within the construction of the bespoke cabinetry as she does throughout the home. The execution of details brought together with plaster, travertine and rustic wood are a testament to the designer’s modern sensibility. Graham embraces traditional architecture and affirms such framework with the modification of thick walls, arches and reclaimed beams. Many of the home’s furnishings are a nod to the designer’s furniture collections which stand in contrast to that of the traditional art and antiques.

A linear and geometric single-story home tucked in the historic neighborhood of Wilshire Square in Los Angeles is a tribute to the designer’s ability to introduce mid-century with a fresh yet timeless perspective. Douglas-fir and Mahogany are the common threads that connect the interior spaces and offer a welcoming atmosphere of elegance and integration. Warmth and comfort are achieved in the bespoke kitchen that Graham identifies as a living space. The sculptural marble island enjoys counter seating from all sides and is enveloped by the wall-to-wall illuminated Douglas-fir built-ins that span the room. The open shelving concept provides optimal storage with customized wood boxes, hanging drawers and lower pull-out trays. Beyond the kitchen, Graham appointed a wood paneled butler’s pantry with integrated refrigeration and ovens. A secondary free-standing sink and dishwasher are a nod to the designer’s furniture collections. Mahogany storage solutions were designed to characterize the home’s mid-century architecture and separate rooms with integrated jambs and thresholds. Douglas-fir paneled bathrooms and custom marble sinks are yet another reminder of the cohesive and articulate design concept. Beyond the architectural key features, noteworthy mid-century furnishings were chosen for their authenticity amidst the client’s carefully curated art collection.
I am always and forever fascinated by Mandy Graham‘s approach to design. Monastic, minimal and unique with incredible attention to detail. Photos: Jasper Carlberg.

This private house by Cristina Celestino is a 550-square-meter apartment in a 1930s rationalist building in Rome’s Parioli neighbourhood. The design draws from the building’s heritage, city exposure and the client’s desire for a harmonious work-life space, inspired by the concept of “hygge.” Emphasizing natural light and perspectives, the project integrates greenery as part of the design, blending interior and exterior elements. Refined geometries, organic lines and subtle luxury details define the space, creating a flexible, elegant environment. Materials and colours follow rationalist principles (inspired by the scale, structure and symmetry of ancient Roman architecture but without the ornamental flourishes associated with classicism), reimagining the apartment’s timeless yet contemporary aesthetic.
