Your first home together as a couple is a special place. A step on the ladder, an expression of your personality. This apartment in Madrid’s lively Trafalgar district is light, bright and surprisingly open for such a small space. Curves bring interest to the boxy space as does the statement green kitchen. A beautiful way to start your property journey. Vivienda en Trafalgar by Helena Martín.

The renovation of this 85 m² pied-à-terre in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris places the emphasis on natural materials and artisanal pieces. Although minimalist it is an intimate space that celebrates the unique and inspiring. Beaumarchais, an by Batiik Studio.

“When we took on the commission to renovate this early 20th century house, located in a historical residential neighborhood of Madrid, we opted to maintain and preserve the classic spirit of the original house. We tried to provide sobriety and pause with the materials so that the pieces of art from the client’s personal collection would gain prominence. In addition, the facade was restored with the use of deep blue as the exterior-interior link, present in the carpentry of all the rooms of the house. On the first floor, with a more social character, unconnected spaces from previous renovations were combined and arranged, and the original staircase was maintained and restored.”

Modern minimalism, traditional charm, careful curation. A potent combination producing a simple beauty in the AXH House by Febrero Studio.

“Years spent living abroad in a number of different homes, in New York and Hong Kong, had our clients yearning for a joyful home that would feel uniquely theirs, where they could settle with their three children. Our canvas was a former worker’s cottage, which had been renovated into a much larger home by architect Sam Crawford several years before. Our clients wanted their home to reflect their experiences travelling and passion for art and entertaining, so we were engaged to inject colour and add layers to get the most out of each space. The result is a home which is truly bespoke.”

What a feast of colour and materials! From the Verde Guatemala marble and pinky purple vein of Calacatta Viola marble to the Morrocan tiles and the burl veneer to the jewel like jugs and pops of pattern in the bedrooms it’s a kaleidoscope of joy.
