It’s not just how wonderfully cool this Barcelona apartment would be in the Spanish heat but how fabulously cool (as in awesome) it is. White walls on white tiles, rooms that open and close, walls of books and a terrace that beckons just past the doors. Simplicity and authenticy.

Montréal and New York based designer Garrow Kedigian hates white interiors, and therefore I love him. I featured his Montréal townhouse several years ago and it was evident then colours were his thing, but as time passed it has become more and more evident he reigns over colour like not many others. Case in point, this Upper East Side apartment that is awash in mostly shades of blue and have fun accent colours like a large orange sectional. Kudos for Garrow making such a splash with this project. Photos: Trevor Parker.

“A small but perfectly formed London townhouse filled to the brim with bold colour, texture and warmth. A playful, inspirational and happy home for a lovely, young family.”
If you ever needed cheering up on a grey old day then this is the house that will bring a smile to your face. Liveable yet dramatic spaces, bold colour and the marriage of different eras and styles. Chelsea by Studio Duggan.


















“Our clients wanted to bring part of their origins to Madrid. Plus, they are avid travellers—she is Mexican and he Galician—so they yearned to bring a family influence to their new home. This project is the outcome of a quest to find colour in Madrid, a characteristic marked by the owners’ journeys and origins. We focused on vivid colours: bright yellows, greens, blues and reds, paired with materials like tiles, ceramics and fine wood. They are all cool materials in bright colours brought from distant, exotic locales. White tile combines with blue, red or yellow in different areas and is finished by edging to frame the different zones.”
The hero of this design is tile, colourful, handmade, glorious tile simply but cleverly laid. It’s a celebration of a simple material elevated by clever design. Conde Duque by S+DLH (Sierra Delahiguera).
