This 92m² apartment in Paris’s 18th arrondissement required a complete redesign, especially relocating the kitchen to create a third bedroom. Murs & Merveilles crafted a vibrant, retro-inspired space with meticulous attention to detail, from materials to lighting. The entrance sets the tone with a mix of vintage and contemporary styles, including custom joinery and a brass-accented bench. The bicolor kitchen opens into a light-filled living area with a calming oak and green glass contrast. Throughout, thoughtful design choices create a warm, inviting atmosphere, blending bold colours, vintage touches and custom elements in every room.

Located in a remote area in Sonoma County, this 640-square-foot cabin blends rustic charm with modern design. With its sliding wooden doors closed it resembles a barn. The one-room space is divided by screens, separating a kitchen and a sleeping area. The cabin, clad in reclaimed redwood with a rusted steel roof, is a cozy retreat sitting amidst gardens with a bath shed, a sleeping shed and a copper tub overlooking Mount St. Helena.

Northern Lights, a Sydney beach house by Cadence & Co evokes the nostalgia of tree houses, designed as a lasting, creative retreat. Built to endure harsh beachfront conditions, its expressive concrete frame houses a studio space beneath a wave-like driveway. The raw concrete exterior pairs with natural hardwoods and cedar, while the interior mirrors this simplicity with organic textures reflecting the landscape. A mature cheese-tree by the balcony keeps the tree house spirit alive, framing views of the beach through native trees.

Binker Barn designed in 1967 by William Turnbull for the Sea Ranch community in Sonoma County, California sits serenely in its surroundings. The interiors have been reimagined by Kay Kollar, emphasising a fabulous collection of mid-century pieces and jewell-like pops of colour. It’s a successful marriage of styles with an acknowledgement of the mid-century bones of this otherwise rustic space.
