“The three-storey Mariposa apartment is set in an iconic, brutalist listed building. The architectural challenge of this major renovation project was to combine five different apartments into one 500 sqm harmonious space … A reduced palette of five materials (Périgord stone, oak, bronze, travertine, and walnut) is used throughout to define the spaces and create a feeling of continuity. Inspired by the brutalist architecture of the exteriors, the apartment seems to have been carved in stone and creates a living space reminiscent of an alcove, which is both authentic and sophisticated.”
Stunning apartment in a stunning part of the world Cannes with an emphasis on the luxury of Mediterranean living. Apartment Mariposa by Caprini & Pellerin.


















Carefully curated and utterly covetable. When the actual retail space is in a house and everything is for sale it’s not easy to leave. This Sag Harbour pop-up by The 1818 Collective was all about connecting with the community in a deeper way than a traditional bricks and mortar store.

Once a community church, and later, a theatre, The Church, has been renovated into a 3 level contemporary home, while providing a sympathetic adaptation to a historic building. Heritage listed, the brick and sandstone façade is preserved to the public elevations. It’s legacy lives on to frame the progressive lifestyle of our clients.
One of my favourite church conversions we’ve posted, particularly for that picture perfect view standing back looking at the kitchen. Hallelujah!

Living that earthy, casual and super cozy life in cottage country. If you need a place to relax and escape from hectic city life this is perfect. The very neutral palette and textures is so soothing and just what you need for a getaway. By Tiffany Leigh Design. (Photos: Patrick Biller)










We have known L.A. designer Mark Cutler for many years, from back when we first started this blog over 16 years ago. He reached out recently to say hi and share the news that he has partnered up with another designer, Nichole Schulze, and together as cutlerschulze they are creating magical spaces including this dreamy project. It is a modern home that they have added a mix of contemporary and antique elements to create a really dynamic and intriguing vibe that I can get behind.
