The loft-style condominiums at 62 Reade Street combine modern living with the preservation of the building’s architectural heritage (once a clock factory). New York-based ODA designed the interiors with a refined, upscale take on loft-style living, using natural materials and a light, airy palette of off-white and beige. White oak floors, exposed beams, fluted glass steel doors and high-end appliances blend modern luxury with original character, honouring the site’s rich past.

“A meticulous renovation of a landmarked two-bedroom, two-bathroom Upper West Side townhouse, we were tasked with creating a feminine, cultivated, and imaginative oasis for a young, eclectic and creative client. We drew inspiration from a Parisian pied-à-terre, along with Ottoman architecture and Spanish design.”

Dark tones and rich hues….just what the fall season calls for. It’s cozy and warm and calls for the fire to be lit, a tea to be brewing and a blanket ready to snuggle under. Designed by Susannah Holmberg. Photos: Ryan McDonald.

“Merging playful, textural, luxurious elements, Malvern Residence III is an uplifting family home that is cleverly terraced into its leafy Malvern landscape. Fostering a sense of togetherness, it embraces the principles of Wabi Sabi – a Japanese philosophy centred around the beauty and humility of natural patina – manifesting as a sophisticated, liveable home.”

Melbourne-based Studio Tate have created an elegant, inviting family home that harmonizes with its natural surroundings.

The clients sought a small house to begin caretaking 300 acres of granite country, eventually wanting to build a larger permanent residence. The design, featuring two identical gable-roofed buildings, creates a sculptural landmark that blends naturally with the rural landscape. Using earthy-toned recycled brick, radial sawn timber and galvanized roofing, the materials harmonize with the surrounding rolling hills and granite outcrops. Entirely off-grid, the home supports water, sewer and electricity needs for the future residence. Its compact, highly insulated design utilizes passive principles with deep eaves and a burnished slab to maintain comfort year-round without air-conditioning. Nulla Vale House by MRTN Architects.
