Venice Compound by Electric Bowery is a vibrant, multi-home oasis in Venice, California. Designed for multigenerational living, four unique homes are tied together by lush gardens and a central courtyard, encouraging connection and independence. Drawing inspiration from Venice’s early Craftsman cottages, the design is playful, layered and light-filled. The main residence, Tutto House, bursts with bold colour, rich textures and joyful details from chartreuse dining walls to plum-red kitchen cabinetry. A guest house and tree house each offer their own character, blending comfort and craftsmanship. The Studio, a calm, creative hideaway, rounds out the compound. The landscape, complete with citrus trees, bamboo and flowering vines, acts as a lush, ever-changing backdrop to a home that celebrates beauty, individuality and everyday rituals.

Studio Meghan Eisenberg embraces each space’s unique character, drawing from its architectural roots to shape a timeless, relaxed design. For a 1927 Spanish Colonial in Santa Monica, the firm restored the home’s lost charm for a young family. The result blends historical integrity with soft modern touches. Warm, natural furnishings complement the architecture, creating a vibrant yet serene environment that reflects the family’s lifestyle.

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!!!!

Studio Ashby, known for its refined and eclectic interiors, reimagined the St Germain Grand Apartment on Paris’s Left Bank. In collaboration with architect Antoinette Zalewski two separate apartments were transformed into one elegant duplex overlooking the Seine and Louvre. The renovation included new parquet flooring, bespoke panelling, a staircase and custom rugs. Blending antique and modern elements, the design drew inspiration from Parisian tones featuring a calm, neutral palette and artisanal craftsmanship to create a timeless, sophisticated home.

Ashby Collective’s design honors history and architectural context, blending timeless style with meticulous detail. In this 1940s Old Enfield, Austin home, traditional trim was preserved, original encaustic tile floors were restored and vintage charm maintained throughout. Every room retains its unique charm and character, celebrating the home’s heritage. The art-loving homeowners curated a vibrant collection of Gen X artists, adding a playful energy that complements the eclectic mix of vintage furnishings and decor throughout the space.
