Post Company‘s interiors for the Hotel Saint Augustine, designed in collaboration with Bunkhouse Hotels and Lake Flato Architecture, draw inspiration from the legacy of Houston’s world-renowned art museum the Menil Collection. Referencing the De Menils’ private collection and home, the design blends bold colours, reflective surfaces and sculptural forms to create a layered, artful environment. The lobby echoes a curator’s residence, with open parlours and intimate nooks, while guest rooms feature custom pieces and tonal palettes.

Bassano is the transformation and combination of two cabins in Red Hill to create a luxurious retreat as a private suite and an artist studio. The exteriors of the cabin meet the natural landscape through a blend of pale brick and timber battens. Inside, the experience contrasts through industrial materialities and bold forms, such as in the steel spine and travertine floor tiles. Traditional ceiling beams pay homage to the region’s farmhouses, and constant views of surrounding farmland maintain a connection to the environment. A central reeded glass wall separates the two zones of the living quarters. One side contains a kitchen, breakfast nook, lounge and fireplace, while the other features the main bedroom, robe, and a centrepiece custom concrete bath dramatically illuminated by a skylight. The result is a richly textured space with a keen sense of individuality, creativity and comfort.
I really love the edgy coolness of this retreat. Not sure which is my favourite element – that statement bath/basin/skylight combo or the dark steel kitchen. Designed by Tom Robertson Architects. Interior design: Simone Haag. Photos: Derek Swalwell.

A newly constructed home in Iowa but made to look like it holds some history. And like it’s actually located in the Cotswolds. So easy on the eyes, and some dark drama where it easily works (like utility type rooms and office). Soft and serene, cozy and casual. Designed by Oho Interiors. Photos: Judith Marilyn.

Located in Montreal’s Notre-Dame-de-Grâce district, this early 20th-century house was refurbished so that its owners could move in with their growing family. We rethought the space, retaining certain elements with which we were able to play. This house presents a convivial open space where the balance between light tones and dark accents brings an unpretentious elegance.
I love how timeless this project by Blanc Marine Intérieurs is. And so very warm. Much of it is light and the cream tones are gorgeous. Amen to having no jarring white ceilings. Photos: Annie Fafard.

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. Trove store by Studio Tali Roth.
