The history of this home is that it was built in 1923, remodelled in 1937, destroyed in 1993, replaced by a clunky postmodern structure, and now transformed into a organic modernist home clad in the most beautiful western red cedar, with expansive windows and soaring ceilings. Other materials such as  brick, cork, ebonized oak, and black metal were added as well….and can we talk about that brutalist ceramic mural (by sculptor Stan Bitters) around the fireplace! This home is spectacular and has such a warmth. Wrap anything in wood and you’ve got a winner. Designed by Jamie Bush.

In New Canaan, New York, US-born, London-based decorator Joyce Sitterly redesigned a Greek Revival house for a family eager for bold ideas. The single-level home features an expansive kitchen with a generous farm table and a living room layered with British-accented style. Combining custom-made furniture with antiques, the interiors embrace individuality and drama. Patterns, textures and theatrical touches create a chic yet comfortable atmosphere that avoids convention in favor of character and originality.

Malvern Hill House by Parker Studio (interiors) in collaboration with Potter & Wilson (architecture) is a heritage home in Croydon that unites Victorian charm with a bold contemporary extension. Nestled in a leafy conservation area, it was carefully restored and expanded to meet the needs of a modern family. The steel-glazed rear addition contrasts with warm interiors, where layered textures, subtle colours, and mixed materials enrich the space. The result is a refined balance between timeless heritage and modern sophistication.

I spotted this location home on Shoot Factory and immediately fell in love with it’s quaintness and soothing, peaceful vibe. It’s a traditional Cotswold stone barn house situated at the end of a private lane in a peaceful Gloucestershire hamlet. Formerly the barn of a farm property it was changed into a residential dwelling in the 1960’s. And I could live there happily for the rest of my days.

Boronkay Studio have transformed this Victorian villa in leafy Richmond into a layered family home that balances grandeur with intimacy. Guided by a philosophy of blending tradition and innovation, the studio reimagined the property to reflect both its architectural elegance and the family’s multicultural background. The interiors weave vintage Italian and French pieces with bespoke furniture and collected artworks, creating a deeply personal narrative. Bold colors, subtle textures, and expressive detailing converge to shape a soulful, timeless home.
