“These D.C.-area transplants from Brooklyn wanted to take the model-home vibe out of their spacious new abode. Custom and vintage furniture, tons of texture, and well-placed color help achieve that goal. The homeowners also wanted the home to reflect their world travels, which has been expressed throughout with globally sourced pieces and earthy, natural materials.”

Cristina Espejo and Marta Goyanes of Espejo & Goyanes create beautiful and functional spaces. This Madrid house is a case in point. The light-filled double-height living room is sophisticated yet welcoming while the kitchen with its minimalist lines is warmed by ample flowing curtains and an upholstered dining banquette. Perhaps my favourite room (or rooms) is the connecting area between the main bedroom, dressing room and bathroom another fine example of ample curtains and minimalist space.

“Nestled in the Garden of Ireland, Wicklow, a Late Georgian estate from 1850 spans 45 acres, blending historical charm with natural splendour, featuring original structures and rustic stone outbuildings.

Balancing the idea of raw industrial aesthetics with refined, timeless elegance while accommodating a family of five posed a challenge. Preserving the building’s integrity while enhancing functionality for modern living was paramount, with design focus at its core.

The design fused nature and beauty, creating an enchanted sanctuary and redefining the essence of what industrial could be. Strategic space subdivision optimized functionality while maintaining an open-plan feel, inviting inhabitants to embark on a journey where the past converges with the present in a symphony of elegance and authenticity.”

Interior designer Mike Moser‘s latest project is a 1950s ranch-style home in LA’s Bel Air. Moser preserved its 1950s spirit while modernizing the layout, creating a space that seamlessly blends past and present. Think rich, layered mid-century modern with a stone, cork and wood materials palette, vast walls of glass to capture the views and an easy indoor outdoor feel.

This century home in Outremont embodies one of our core beliefs at Blanc Marine, which is to preserve and enhance a home’s original features while giving it new personality. Its wall paneling, glazed china cabinets and the glass partition separating the vestibule from the entrance have been upgraded and highlighted. The strong presence of dark colors, balanced by the bright envelope in which they are set, gives this residence an aesthetic totally congruent with its history and the Blanc Marine signature.
I love Blanc Marine so very much. Their appreciation of history and love of the drama of dark against light is what keeps me coming back to their projects and being constantly in awe. Photos: Annie Fafard
