The south London home of designer Octavia Dickinson and her family is full of life. Lots of lively colours, patterns, artwork and antiques make this home bright, invigorating and casually comfortable. (Photos: Paul Massey & Harry Crowder)

“The Notting Hill Apartment is one of twenty-six luxury residential apartments set within a boutique development in West London. The architectural language of the site is a contemporary interpretation of the original, white stuccoed Victorian villas that line the streets in the area. Using the same studied ethos as the inspiration, the interior design is true to its context but explicitly modern”

Calm, carefully curated and welcoming. An oasis in a bustling city by London-based Albion Nord.

As if it had always been

What once was a printer’s workshop has been transformed by Paris-based Dorothée Delaye into a family loft “à la française”. It’s a marriage of old and new, weathered and contemporary, sophisticated and bohemian with a lush country style garden in the middle of Paris. It’s like it has always been there just waiting for it’s new family.

Mid-century colour

“Ledgewood, a compact California modernist home nestled in the Hollywood Hills, was designed in 1961 by Robert Kennard, a pioneering Black architect who fought to open the profession to minorities and women. As with any renovation of a historic property, our challenge was to preserve the form and spirit of the original structure while gently ushering it into the 21st century. We believe the most meaningful way to respect great architecture is to demonstrate its adaptability to the rhythms and rituals of contemporary life.”

Breathing new life into this mid-century gem Studio Shamshiri used colour and natural materials to increase the connection between inside and out. Think verdant greens and earthy browns while leather, wood and handmade tiles add texture and interest.
