This home and the lifestyle it embodies are all about embracing the natural essence of this sybaritic island through an authentic celebration of indoor-outdoor living. Through a series of interconnected pavilions, a collected, art-forward home came together, revealing a deeply rich and intense color palette full of playfulness, elegance, and luxury. A mixture of ebonized gray French Oak and limestone flooring, paired with warm plaster walls adds to the relaxing and inviting interior.
What a heavenly place this would be to escape to in the winter months (or any months for that matter). A slice of Caribbean heaven. By Alexander Design.
At the base of Dalt Vila in South East Ibiza stands Palacio Orféo, a calm oasis amidst the neighbourhood’s bustle. Built for a government minister in the late 19th century and designed by Joan Gómez Ripoll, it combines traditional and contemporary elements. Renovated with architect Pascal Cheikh Djavadi it features a soft yellow façade, beams, and ornate balustrades. Highlights include a first-floor library, Emperador marble bathroom, minimalist kitchen and a sunlit terrace with expansive views. For sale via Domus Nova.
Nestled between L.A.’s Whitley Heights and Outpost Estates, this 1920s Spanish Cottage had just two owners before Katie and her husband Tim acquired it in 2020. Despite neglect and previous remodels, Katie of Katie Hodges Design saw the home’s potential. They embarked on a personal design journey, blending traditional and modern elements. The 2000-square-foot space was reimagined for functionality, prioritizing enduring materials like raw plaster walls, brass hardware, Italian textiles, and vintage furnishings.

A calming remodel of a Victorian terrace in Stoke Newington, with a rustic, Italian charm, that is centred around a sociable kitchen and its pantry. Martina and Joe approached us from the outset with the most beautifully laid out briefing document, with a clear direction for the finished aesthetic – textured, rustic, Italian and English combined. On a practical level, the brief was focused on a ground floor extension that could achieve a wider, open and more sociable kitchen to accommodate our clients’ love of social cooking and entertaining. For the loft space, Martina and Joe wanted to convert this space into a calm, main bedroom and ensuite with dressing area, with Italian references like the ground floor. The extension is two peaked volumes that form a stepped plan to respond to the varying lengths of the neighbouring houses.
Oh how I adore this new kitchen, and the simplicity and practicality of the spaces London-based architecture firm Bradley Van Der Straeten re-designed and created in this home.
I am always blown away at the creativity of Paris designers. This 45m2 apartment in the 11th arrondissement is minimalist but packs a real punch with some accented ceilings – a green/brown in the kitchen/dining area and a wood clad ceiling in some of the bedroom (which is meant to “reinforce the impression of a monastic cell and calls for rest”). Both really add drama and interest without being too bold/in your face and taking it to another level (literally – up above HA). Appartement Nation designed by Heju.
