Chimney Rock is a warm, modern retreat designed by Sonoma-based architecture + interior design firm Studio Plow as home for the parents of founder Brit Epperson. Inspired by the intimacy of camping and the rhythm of daily rituals, the home emphasizes comfort, kinship and craft. An open floorplan fosters connection, while bespoke details, many created in collaboration with family including custom furniture by Epperson’s brother, infuse the space with personal significance. Every element was thoughtfully considered to create a deeply personal and enduring home rooted in warmth, simplicity and the quiet beauty of shared experience.

Designed by Workshop/APD, this pavilion-style Nantucket retreat blends traditional cedar-shingle architecture with a distinctly modern perspective. Eight gabled volumes are linked by walkways that create fluid connections between indoor and outdoor spaces. The interiors are minimalist yet inviting featuring a light-filled rooms, tonal furnishings and bold contemporary art. Meticulously crafted and intentionally scaled, the home offers a sophisticated yet relaxed approach to coastal living reflecting Workshop/APD’s thoughtful and highly detailed design ethos.

Everything is cooler in Paris. The architecture is so exquisite you can put anything in the spaces and they simply sing. In the case of this apartment designed by David Raffoul and Nicolas Moussallem of David/Nicolas they let their imaginations run wild, and incorporated unique modern furnishings for that juxtaposition of eras that I adore.

Set in Austin, this home by Molly Kidd Studio has a contemporary European vibe. Designed as a sanctuary from busy lives, it blends soft neutrals, layered textures and natural materials for a calm, timeless feel. Venetian plaster walls and bold elements like Arabescato marble and vintage lighting add depth and personality. With over half of the furnishings being vintage ( sourced locally and abroad) the home feels effortlessly collected, warm and quietly dramatic.

This vibrant family home in the French countryside, just outside Paris, was completely transformed by Sean Symington over an 18-month renovation. Working closely with a young family who relocated from London, the project reimagined the interiors while respecting the home’s original architecture. Grand proportions and symmetry provided the perfect canvas for layering bold colour, texture, and pattern. An eclectic art collection informed much of the design direction, inspiring a personal, expressive aesthetic. Bespoke joinery, antique finds, and custom upholstery bring warmth and individuality to this richly detailed and welcoming home.
