A slice of blue rises through this Slovakian home’s open-plan living, dining and kitchen. Grounded by a concrete plinth containing a fireplace and storage the steel stairs lead to a sleeping loft. Steel posts and beams continue the colour accent while blue doors lead the eye out to the view. Contemporary living with references to a more rustic past with exposed timber ceiling and painted brick. Atelier režiséra Strekov by Bratislava-based Benko Benkova.

It turns out Ashley Montgomery can do neutrals REALLY well also. And this is her lake house. And it’s stunning and everything a lake house should be. Also please everyone take a very close look at this island that has CURVED ENDS! Absolutely brilliant. (Photos: Lauren Miller)

Minimalist and modern, black and white in a soaring loft space up under the eaves in Paris’ 17th arrondissement. Beautiful aged oak beams and original steel and glass windows provide contrast, a historic shell for Atelier Leymarie Gourdon to create a 70 m2 contemporary one-bedroom apartment within.

A new beginning for this Haussmanian apartment in the heart of Saint Germain saw interior architects l’Agence Véronique Cotrel create a bright, modern family home while respecting the history of the building. At the heart of it all is a contemporary Boffi kitchen in a confection of a Haussmanian room. Perfection.

The off grid cabin (Western Catskills) was built in the 70’. Working with those bones, yet seeking its soul back… we aimed to anchor it further back in times – early 1800’ of the earliest property usage as a mill. The original wood mill showed its stone walls reminiscences in the brook, a stroll away bellow the cabin. The interior shape shift mood with a wall patina intended as a crude faux plaster who had endure times. The wood ceiling were sanded down to knock the varnish shine, they may white wash at a later phase. Antique screen doors set were used for closets & pantry, along with antique furniture. A mix of drop cloth canvas curtains, antique textiles & rugs help to insulate during the long winter, while owner’s pelts, skulls & local history artifacts collection set the cabin on its renewed time lapse …reminiscing the past in present time.
This is everything a cabin should be. Time-worn and patinaed, rustic and vintage. By Maison Bergogne. (Photos: Peter Crosby)
