This 1901 Hoboken, New Jersey brownstone needed a revamp and designer Hollie Velten was up for the challenge. The homeowners desired a thoughtful fusion of function and feeling. More and more designers are taking the old vs new approach to older homes and this version is a perfect harmonious blend of both. Cozy with lots of personality.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. The C Suite by Jean Liu Design.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish and there’s nowhere more stylish than a designer’s own offices. MED Design Office by Meredith Ellis.

Creating harmony between nature and architecture. Rusty Corten steel planters filled with lush ferns and trailing Muehlenbeckia. Slender multi stem Himalayan birches standing tall, against shou-sugiban cladded side extension and dark charcoal clay pavers. A blend of textures and green tones bringing life to the space.
There’s something about exposed brick and blackened wood and modern-vibe pavers that really just hit the spot. Absolutely love this small backyard courtyard garden space designed by East London Garden Design. Photos: Rachel Oates















Stokes 12, designed by Sydney-based Smart Design Studio, features a unique apartment above a workspace, formed by four offset brick vaults that stretch the length of the building. These arched structures frame views of the sky and street trees while creating a sculptural interior defined by stacked bricks and curved surfaces. Built with unmortared bricks, a thin concrete layer, and galvanized sheeting, the apartment includes custom-designed furniture and simple, understated finishes that enhance its industrial character and architectural clarity.
