“‘A fresh house with an international, fun and inspiring spirit’ were the premises of the clients, a young Mexican couple determined to live for a long time in Madrid. The combination of bricks, arches and fantasy created an atypical and surprising space, where a pink kitchen with a blue a ceiling reflects the explosion of color and imagination intended.

The apartment has 140m2 distributed in 3 bedrooms: the master bedroom with an integrated bathroom, a bathroom for the other 2 bedrooms and guests, and a living room with an open kitchen. The design’s connecting thread is a flat limestone brick with double circle, a brutalist element that was used for the kitchen’s bar that joins the kitchen and living room, the shelves behind the sofa and a wall in the master bedroom that divides the bedroom from the bathroom. 

Overall the mix of materials, the arched passageways between the rooms and the Orac Decor moldings give the apartment eccentric touches creating a bold and fun atmosphere.”

You’d be forgiven for thinking this Spanish home was a getaway by the beach. The white on white and pale timbers, the cane and linen. But no it’s in the Spanish town of Becerril de la Sierra in the Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range an area more acquainted with snow than sand. And the house? Think earthy yet sophisticated, natural yet refined, timeless, bright and calm. Vivienda en Becerril de la Sierra by Helena Martin.

This full gut renovation in Dallas celebrates the original build while accommodating the needs of contemporary living.

“G&D were captivated by the architectural charm of their Lisbon apartment, featuring intricate Pombaline style and 19th-century details like ornate ceilings and moldings. Although it required substantial renovation, G&D embraced the opportunity to preserve and restore its historical elements, aligning with their philosophical approach.

This home showcases a fusion of contemporary art, vintage pieces, and their distinctive sculptural furniture designs, particularly featuring ceramics. Collaborating with Portuguese potter Lígia Guedes, their innovative ceramic pieces extend beyond conventional boundaries.

In their woodwork, G&D playfully incorporate local wood species into seating and wall panels, embracing a unique approach. G&D practice also emphasizes collaboration with international talents, who work alongside Portuguese artisans and employ local materials to create special editions available for purchase.

For example, New York-based Korean artist Minjae Kim utilized local pine for their dining chairs, while British designer Charlotte Taylor crafted their daybed from the same timber. Parisian Garance Vallée collaborated with Lígia Guedes to produce their distinctive bedside lamp.”
