“Dusk House is a tranquil, elegant and quiet celebration of passing time, emotion and shadow. Once an unassuming but tired single-storey residence, this house has been thoughtfully and carefully crafted into an evocative and serene family home. Dusk House embraces light and dark, play and rest, indulgence and restraint.”

A sad 60s house is now open and filled with light, bold and refined. Dusk House by Madelaine Blanchfield Architects.

It’s a cultural thing. They just have it. That certain je ne sais quoi. Stylish, chic, with a sense of place and purpose. Like this apartment in Ternes by Paris-based interior designer Marion Collard.

“Sequenced over three levels, this dream-like oasis weaves tangible tales of faraway lands and ancient cultures through eclectic manipulations of materials and styles to convey charismatic reinterpretations of the past.”

It’s fun, fresh, quirky, spirited, confident and trend-setting. It’s mad. It shouldn’t work. It’s a triumph. “Home and Away” by in my opinion the most exciting Australian interior designer Yasmine Saleh Ghoniem of YSG.

This Mediterranean Revival project by designer Sarah Solis is everything I love in interiors these days. Antique tile, black and white checkerboard floor, rust coloured velvety sofas, wrought iron railings, ethnic textiles, copper tub, outdoor zellige tile fountain…. all the goodness you would find in a Mediterranean villa and more.

Quinta da Torre de Santo António is a unique property with a neo-Manueline profile built over 100 years ago by the Marquis of Foz. The preliminary studies of the Palace were carried out by the famous architect Luigi Manini – who designed, for example, Hotel do Buçaco – which gives it a remarkable architectural value. The Palace with more than 900 m2 of building (10 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms) is inserted in a property with 60 hectares. Inside, we can find splendid rooms with fireplaces with unique details, painted ceilings and 19th century tile panels. The two Manueline windows were the central elements of inspiration for the Palace, where its romantic Tower stands out. The geometrically designed gardens precede a magnificent swimming pool. The property has a set of other buildings such as a chapel, stables, cellar, lakes, water courses and a vast agricultural area.
I’m dead. This is absolutely incredible. I’m also dead because it’s € 6,000,000 but one can dream. For sale via JamesEdition.
