Layers of materials and texture, art and furniture styles. Packed with personality and life. Warm, elegant and rooted in the house’s history and sense of place. It’s about balance. It’s about joy. It’s about stylish liveability. A house in Kensington by Notting Hill Interior Design duo Studio Vero.

“Our clients wanted a home that felt like a boutique hotel with a lavish yet tranquil tonal and textural intensity that was rich in substance, not excess trimmings.”

Moody, earthy and sensuous this Sydney waterfront home by YSG features a lush material palette of glass bricks, stone, zellige tiles, tadelakt and woven raffia. Central to it all is the monolithic stone and mosaic tile kitchen island, the black diamond of the design.

Against a neutral background, earthy tones and subtle pops of colour allow a mix of vintage and contemporary pieces to shine. The home in the Mar Vista neighbourhood of Los Angeles has been brought to life by San Francisco-based Studio Montemayor. Think eclectic, playful and full of personality.

GRT Architects transformed an apartment in the historic Onyx Court building in New York’s East Village, redefining its layout while respecting its original character. The kitchen underwent a stunning redesign, relocating diagonally for improved flow and functionality. A semi-open layout was achieved with clever elements like brass-legged cabinets and suspended storage, dividing it from the dining area. A playful mix of textures and colours enhances the kitchen’s appeal while a sculptural island houses electric appliances. The principal suite replaced the former kitchen, emphasizing privacy and elegance. The project included modern upgrades, from windows to air conditioning, seamlessly integrated by the architects.

Ever imagine living in a greenhouse? Add in the challenging weather conditions found in Norway and you have this amazing greenhouse house. The project’s standout feature is its creation of an extra climatic zone bridging indoors and outdoors. This allows the owners to extend the growing season for their plantings as the colder months close in. Equally by capturing the spring sunlight they can start to enjoy the “outdoors” earlier than they would as the snow lingers. Amidst the forest, the greenhouse protects and nurtures, filling family life with light, colour and potential. Heating, materials, food and maintenance embrace sustainability, reshaping living in harmony with the surroundings. Hus i Drivhus by OA (Outline Arkitektur).
