Ashley Montgomery does it again with yet another project of perfection, where I would not change a single thing. On The Ravine is a blend of neutrals and wood and textures and earthiness and a touch of grandeur. So easy on the eyes. I’d walk through that front door and immediately let out a deep breath and sigh. Photos: Lauren Miller.

Light-filled and fabulous this Madrid apartment by Espejo & Goyanes celebrates the historic bones of the building but adds a refined contemporary sophistication. Natural wood tones combine with brighter than bright whites while golden metals and black accents punctuate the scheme.

It’s like I saw week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Magnolia by Quiet Studios.

Nestled on a quiet street is an unassuming slate blue garage facade, behind which exists a rare courtyard house with industrial roots. The two-story house was designed to serve the dual purpose of the client’s home and working space. Creating a dialogue that connects the private and public zones was the main consideration in approaching the design for this two bedroom and two and a half bathroom residence. A focus was to also enhance the ease of flow between the multiple living spaces presented by the circular architecture of the courtyard. The indoor and outdoor; private and communal blend seamlessly with generous access to light and air. Each area within the home, with its own design identity, is interconnected. Here lies the beautiful balance of unity in a courtyard house.
