Nestled in an urban landscape, the Church Loft by Toronto-based NIVEK REMAS is a distinctive home within a repurposed historic church. It blends historic charm with modern comforts featuring a neutral palette that highlights wooden beams and a matte black four-story staircase. Open-concept living areas foster a spacious, inviting atmosphere while original church details, like ornate light fixtures and a fresco, enhance the loft’s character. The primary suite combines minimalist wood cabinetry with sleek stone finishes creating a serene retreat.

“A thoughtful project that we took down to the studs to transform an old cottage to a beautiful new modernized home with many intentional designs to reflect the old home.”

I fell in love with San Miguel de Allende years ago (virtually – still have yet to visit in person) and I am even more smitten now that I have seen this 7 bedroom home that Cris Briger and her family (of Casa Gusto) built there in 1999. In their typical antique-filled style with some Italian/Swedish farmhouse vibes added in for good measure, it is so welcoming and warm. And now I need more baskets.

At the base of Dalt Vila in South East Ibiza stands Palacio Orféo, a calm oasis amidst the neighbourhood’s bustle. Built for a government minister in the late 19th century and designed by Joan Gómez Ripoll, it combines traditional and contemporary elements. Renovated with architect Pascal Cheikh Djavadi it features a soft yellow façade, beams, and ornate balustrades. Highlights include a first-floor library, Emperador marble bathroom, minimalist kitchen and a sunlit terrace with expansive views. For sale via Domus Nova.

Nestled between L.A.’s Whitley Heights and Outpost Estates, this 1920s Spanish Cottage had just two owners before Katie and her husband Tim acquired it in 2020. Despite neglect and previous remodels, Katie of Katie Hodges Design saw the home’s potential. They embarked on a personal design journey, blending traditional and modern elements. The 2000-square-foot space was reimagined for functionality, prioritizing enduring materials like raw plaster walls, brass hardware, Italian textiles, and vintage furnishings.
