“In this Outremont condo noble materials reign, the interior design combines various marbles and rich wood textures and natural textiles to create a sophisticated yet understated atmosphere. The subtle interplay of the different materials adds a touch of timeless luxury without overwhelming the airy space. The finished condo offers a comfortable and inviting urban living environment.”

Luke Havekes, founder of the eponymous Luke Havekes Design, believes that there should always be a story at the heart of every space no matter what style and what a story this Montreal home tells. Richly textured, art filled, masculine and moody.

This four story Victorian home in Oxford had once been a boarding house for a local school. At some point it was converted into a proper home and the layout sorted, and when designer Charlotte Boundy was enlisted to add some design to the interior she created a serene and relaxing home with the prettiest of colours and patterns. The result is brighter, softer and much more welcoming. Photos: Paul Whitbread.

Designer Liz MacPhail saved this bungalow in Austin, Texas (along with Forrm Architects) and turned it into an absolutely charming home filled with character and history, and now modernity, whilst improving the flow and utility of the spaces. And salvaged everything she could along the way. Kudos to those ethos. Photos: Casey Dunn.

This 1800s Grand Victorian mansion in Mosman, Sydney, once divided into three disordered apartments, has been lovingly restored into a family home while honouring its historic grandeur. Inspired by traditional North American coastal architecture, the design reflects the clients’ admiration for this timeless style. The interiors were revitalized with textural mouldings, wainscoting, and luxurious finishes while preserving original features like leadlight windows and stone fireplaces. A casual side entrance leads to a functional mudroom and laundry, while the reimagined foyer impresses guests. The open-plan ground floor includes a sunlit kitchen with Shaker-style joinery, a spacious dining area, and seamless indoor-outdoor connections for hosting unforgettable gatherings.

This 1820s Creole cottage compound in New Orleans’ French Quarter has been transformed by Young Projects, an architecture and design firm based in New York City. The property features a main house with a classic four-square layout and a carriage house. The interiors are thoughtfully curated with the primary rooms—bar, music room, salon, and dining room—each showcasing distinct colours, finishes, materials and furnishings. Custom gold leaf doorways connect these spaces creating seamless yet dramatic transitions. The property also includes a tranquil walled courtyard with a swimming pool and old-growth trees enhancing its blend of historic charm and modern sophistication.
