On the border between Sainte-Pétronille and Saint-Laurent-de-l’Île-d’Orléans, it is home to the Maison de l’île, a major renovation project located at the bottom of an agricultural lot in a resort area. Respecting the dimensions of the other buildings on the island, the two volumes incline respectively on four sides, opening openings on the river and the surrounding area. A low walkway provides the connection, while amplifying, thanks to its transparency and delicacy, the suburban language of the whole, to which is added the volume of the garage, set back. By reconciling the resort and agricultural traditions, the architects were able to reinvent the different codes specific to Île d’Orléans, cleverly integrating references to the Arts and Craft movement, vernacular constructions and Regency cottages: covered terraces, symmetrical compositions, regular rhythms, natural and raw materials and the enhancement of artisanal work.
This might be my favourite project of La Shed Architecture (and I have loved sooo many). The fact that this is very much modern but the materials are not is the perfect combination. The stone and brick add texture and the wood tones are such a warm but just-bright-enough shade…and with the Togo sofas & chairs in the deep orange/rust shade it’s such a gorgeous, earthy synergy.

Aside from this being a lesson on how to decorate with lots of colours and patterns by the queen of vintage layered fabulousness, Heidi Caillier, it also a lesson in how to make a home look centuries old when it isn’t. Rough-hewn reclaimed wood beams, varying door heights, mismatched vintage hardware, Delft tile, a hidden passage from the sitting room to the dining room, reclaimed limestone floors and so much more give it sooooo much character. I’m taking notes! Photos: Haris Kenjar. Styling: Mieke ten Have.

The renovation and extension of this decades-old ski chalet required full interior architectural design and detailing, space planning, and interior decoration. The needs of a young family and their guests, combined with the functionality essential to a ski chalet, underpin the design concept – celebrating nature through the choice of materials and honouring culture through bespoke craftsmanship.
This chalet is so very Swiss Alps but with some unique touches by the defying-all-trends designer Hubert Zandberg. I love that every one of his projects is so full of pattern and texture and is as inviting as can be. And not a single trend to be found! Photos: Giulio Ghirardi.

“We love people…bringing family together is the reason we design homes. We set a stage for memories – it’s a stage made of emotion more than color and texture. We strive to curate a feeling, not just achieve an aesthetic. Our work goes beyond what the eye can see. We impact how people remember their families and how they celebrate life’s joys. 

Homes are for being: being a family, being hospitable, being there to love one another. The home is a sacred space. We work tirelessly on behalf of our friends to help them carve out their own piece of hallowed ground in this beautiful life. It is a rare and special privilege to share such a powerful gift.”

With offices in California and Massachusetts, Katie Martinez Design respects a space’s history and architecture while incorporating timeless design elements. For the 1740 Ripley Residence, the firm led a full renovation and expansion, collaborating with the owners to introduce rich layers of colour and pattern. They sourced primarily vintage and handcrafted pieces and designed the cabinetry, bathrooms and finishes with thoughtful attention to detail.
