“A former glass factory was transformed into single family homes … The project started from a bare construction. The idea was to design the entire interior in an industrial cosy natural way. The use of chalk, concrete, steel windows, marbles, oak floorings and linen curtains. To have an energy neutral building had never an effect on the interior but is a great plus. This project is a perfect example of an added value in a beautiful collaboration between client and interior architect.”
It’s a masterclass in modern Belgian design. The spare beauty, the use of grey, the simple material palette. DS Apartment in Gent by Æ Studio.

“The aim of this project was to respect the building’s rather posh 1960s architectural soul while inserting the client’s sensibility and the realities of 21st-century family living into the way the space functions. A very masculine approach to aesthetics for a very feminine client with a high sensibility for art and design.”
And why “Informalist”? Because of the family’s impressive collection of art from the Spanish Informalism period. Another striking project by Casa Muñoz.















Calm, cool and collected. This neutral haven in a historic San Francisco by Redmond Aldrich sees carefully considered balance of old and new, family and friends.

What do I love about this London townhouse? The custom library shelves and the cosy wood-burning fire. The moody rooms and the conservatory with its traditional English greenhouse feel. The bespoke dressing room (look at that clever shoe storage) and the marble bathrooms. And the shutters in the bedroom and the secret rooftop terrace and the backyard and the … and the … Chelsea Townhouse by AND.
