Casual elegance in a Hamptons beach house

Posted on Fri, 7 Mar 2025 by KiM

I adore the reinvention of this East Hampton beach house designed by Augusta Hoffman. It used to be owned by designer Robert Stilin so there wasn’t much reinventing needed as Robert has impeccable style, but what Augusta brought to this home has completely won me over. Designed for entertaining to have the vibes of a casual and comfortable hotel suite, it is the perfect balance of elegance and unpretentiousness. Photos: Tim Lenz.

A timeless reimagining in Dulwich

“Working passionately to create serene, harmonious spaces that are restful, uplifting and beautifully detailed.  I tend towards natural and textured materials, combining old and new pieces in order to give character and soul to a space whilst adding playful elements throughout to create charming and surprising compositions. I favour humble over high tech solutions, finding that complicated design problems are often resolved through an honest and simple outlook.”Jessica Summer

This five-bedroom townhouse has been reimagined with new materials and meticulously designed architectural details, including bespoke paneling, doors and skirting. Emphasizing natural materials and a blend of old and new furnishings, the home feels both calming and timeless.

Natasha Quick believes a home should reflect its owners, blending personal history with the character of the house. For this Notting Hill apartment, she reconfigured the floor plan, transforming a two-bedroom flat into three to suit a growing family. Original features like the fireplace, cornicing, and full-height paneling were reinstated. A redesigned kitchen-dining area created a social hub with integrated banquette storage, while the clients’ cherished art and antiques were thoughtfully refreshed and repositioned.

Claire Hung Design, a Brooklyn-based creative studio, specializes in contemporary and transitional interiors, blending understated luxury with European and Scandinavian influences. Each project reflects timeless sophistication, respecting the space’s architectural history while incorporating Scandinavian minimalism, Nordic functionality and Japanese-inspired simplicity. Their Cobble Hill brownstone project designed in collaboration with Studio Vural, transformed a compartmentalized historic home into a light-filled sanctuary. Japanese woodwork, a multi-level skylight and accordion doors revitalised the space for a family of five.

This home in Palm Springs is a midcentury DREAM! House of Tomorrow was the home Elvis and Priscilla were to be married in but instead became their honeymoon hideaway. New owners purchased it in 2021 and with the help of designer Michelle Boudreau they sensitively reinvigorated the property, leaving the exterior seemingly untouched and gently modernized the interior. I am obsessed with that living room (rock wall, custom 14′ curved sofa, floating fireplace) and kitchen (verde allegre quartzite countertops, circular cooktop with custom exhaust hanging in the middle)!
