Playful, colourful and thoughtful. A small Georgian terrace has been given a new life under the talented hands of Sarah Peake of Studio Peake. Modern meets old and the result is a fabulous family home that to a foreigner like me is quintessentially English.

I couldn’t just share one project from Barracuda Interiors. This stylish cabana is home to a French family, their coastal getaway. Once again the eclectic mix of “20th-century furniture, Portuguese decorative objects – particularly ceramics – and pieces Alexandre Neimann designs himself that act as a bridge between the architecture and the 20th-century pieces” appears so simple yet so chic.

“The project consisted of a long process of research to create a harmonious arrangement of colours, materials and forms while adhering to the budget. Neimann was inspired by the place and by the person. Above all, he wanted to give the house an identity through eclectic decor and handpicked objects, mixing 20th-century furniture in general – with pieces ranging from the late 19th-century all the way up to the 1980s …”

Paraíso. It’s Portuguese for heaven. Not just the location but this beautifully rustic but oh so chic Comporta cabana by Lisbon-based Barracuda Interiors. Be still my beating heart!

“Respecting the rich culture and architecture of the building, we seek to restore it’s natural raw beauty, before injecting unexpected moments of contemporary culture, representing the youth of its occupier.”

The designer calls it “Subversive Intervention”. I call this Sydney home by Blainey North  luxury with a touch of rebellion.

Brutalist concrete and raw luxury in Portugal. Like a modern interpretation of a rustic quinta Casa Meco by Atelier RUA sits low to the ground providing shelter from the elements yet with expansive views. Simple yet sensual.
