Built in 1915 and renovated again and again until it was purchased in 2022, deconstructed and renewed by Christina Simon Studio.  The client works in the music industry as well as other industries pertaining to wellness, neurobiology and expanding consciousness.  This property serves as the client’s pied a terre for hosting several industry parties during SXSW and ACL and the design of the home was to reflect and contribute to the fun and ambiance of these events.
I think this meets the 4 word brief of “Austin eclectic hippie vibe”. It’s a dark and moody gentleman’s hangout with a retro, groovy vibe. I really dig this. Photos: Douglas Friedman.

This apartment on Warren Street, NY is located on the 21st floor of a glass skyscraper is bold, vibrant, artsy, playful and was designed by Crina Arghirescu Rogard with the homeowner’s colour-blindness in mind – he can see pure, bright colours like blues, reds and yellow. Hence the use of some blue and red throughout. The living room wall shelving is a major red statement, and the bathtub rendered in Yves Klein Blue set into a curved nook is a really cool situation that makes me want to tub-lounge. Speaking of statements, the semi-circular brushed stainless steel islands are such a cool focal point. So much uniqueness here. Photos: Chris Mottalini.

Belén Ferrándiz blends modern and traditional elements to create timeless, elegant and functional interiors. In this project—a restored home in a small town in Spain’s Santander Valley—she preserved original features like stone, shutters and ceiling details, painted white to enhance light. With open spaces, soft tones and a mix of antique and contemporary furnishings, the result is a serene, cozy retreat designed for relaxation and rural charm.

Have you ever seen someone tile a border above wainscotting in a hallway, that happens to be carpeted in leopard print? Me either! I’m telling you, these Parisian designers are just oozing with wild and creative ideas. I love every single bit of this apartment. The stripped (?) walls in the living room, that hallway situation, putting a cafe rod curtain in front of what looks like a MCM cabinet, and that retro green and pink bathroom! SWOONING!!!!
