Son Net is a palace in Mallorca (at the foot of Sierra de Tramuntana) built in 1672 and was converted into a luxury hotel in 1998. I absolutory fell in love with this hotel the moment I came across some photos and learned it was designed by one of my all-time favourite designers, Lorenzo Castillo. The palacio suites can include private terrace with fountains, balconies, living room, private garden, outdoor living and dining area, portico, or you can ‘slum it’ 😉 and book a pool cottage suite or the pool cottage house. What a breathtaking place to book a holiday stay.

The Northamptonshire country house, once soulless due to poor renovations, found new life through a thoughtful redesign. Every corner was reimagined, with the old drawing room transformed into a spacious kitchen and scullery, allowing for informal yet elegant entertaining. The former kitchen became a cozy library, adorned with rich hues and bookshelves. A light-filled day room provided a relaxing space, connecting the house with its history. The blend of old and new pieces created a timeless atmosphere, fostering a comfortable, fun, and enduring family life.

In the heart of London’s Minet Estate Conservation Area, a Victorian maisonette underwent a transformative collaboration between Nimtim Architects and their clients, resulting in a harmonious oasis in the city. The owners wanted the home to feel open and connected but not cavernous. The upper floor boasts a master suite with bespoke features and garden-facing views. Nimtim ingeniously designed a discrete guest annexe with a separate entrance. Generous rear openings frame the secluded garden, maintaining the original stock-brick wall’s charm. Natural elements like Douglas fir and soft plaster create a timeless backdrop for the clients’ art and books. The garden, a lush haven, offers defined moments amid ornamental grasses and a wildlife pond, a serene retreat in the midst of urban life.
