This rustic barn in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire is a texture-lovers dream. Exposed brick walls, rough-hewn reclaimed wood, steel and add in some crittall windows and you have an industrial treasure trove. Barn living at its finest! Design: Lauren Gilberthrope Interiors; architect: Javelin Block; (most) photos: Emma Lewis.

“Spotted Gum House is an alteration and addition to an existing interwar bungalow nestled amongst the mature, leafy green trees of Sydney’s North Shore neighbourhood of Artarmon. While respecting the suburban landscape and heritage conservation area we have restored the street-facing façade while exploring a hidden, modern sculptural annexe at the rear.

The three-bedroom home has been transformed into a blend of traditional and contemporary architecture. The design vernacular is courageous in its exploration of scale; Spotted Gum House now explores a tension between three distinct architectural languages; the existing front of the home, and the upstairs and downstairs of the new rear extension.”

Sensuous, sinuous and downright sexy. Spotted Gum by Alexander and Co.

It took 3 long years to convert this former watermill in Alsace, France built in 1565 into the beautiful hotel villa it is today. The mill is registered as historic and therefore took extra care, but the resulting guest house with 5 unique rooms and spa that contains a hammam and a whirlpool are absolutely stunning and I love how unique each space is. Bits of history showing through in the architecture along with the amenities and comfort of more modern furnishings – the amalgamation makes for a perfect getaway.

Julie Dodson Webster of Houston-based Dodson Interiors blends Hollywood Glam with fresh French style, creating timeless and transitional spaces that pack a punch but are livable and functional. Like this home – neutral and cozy yet sophisticated and elegant. The architecture sure helps make this quite a beauty.

Tuscan living in an 18th century estate doesn’t get much better than this. A MUCH different vibe than the last project I shared of Gracinha Viterbo but this one is so perfect for the surroundings. Prominent Tuscan vibes with tiny touches of contemporary for casual living. What an incredible home this is.
