From Florida we’re off to Long Island, to Montauk and another beach house this time by Studio Robert McKinley. A more neutral palette and a distinct mid-century vibe but the same beachy chic. Casual doesn’t mean an absence of style.

This Park Avenue apartment by Julie Hillman is another beautiful example of thoughtful curation. Hillman “feels that every item in a room should be in conversation with one another while maintaining its own significance.” Distinctive, timeless, and unique.

“I am drawn to natural pieces and finishes and artisan craftsmanship, I believe deeply in the integration of old and new, creating a timelessness. Taking into consideration the context and architectural history of a project is essential for my design process. I am forever sourcing antiques and have an eye for extraordinary pieces that might otherwise go unseen or unloved. Moreover, I see myself as a curator of spaces, as much as I do an interior designer.”

Beautiful and calm, collected and chic. Ladbroke Gardens by Hollie Bowden.

This is a captivating example of how to warm up a concrete shell and how to create cozy zones from a very open concept layout. This penthouse renovation extends across the four top floors of this Maastricht residential tower “Polvertoren’. The tower originally built in the 60s as accomodation for hospital staff has been completely renovated inside and out. A completed reworking of the floor plan on each level meant that each of the spaces connect in a way suited to the lifestyle of the owners. A brief from the clients referencing the tv show Mad Men, designer Jean Prouve and hotels across the world as sources of inspiration set the tone and style of this detailed renovation. Original features such as the formed concrete walls have been restored and left exposed to sit harmoniously against a mix quality new and natural materials. Designed by Nicemakers.

This Haussmanian-style apartment in Saint-Germain-des-Prés is a literal work of art. Stunning architectural details set the stage – the moldings, large windows and chevron hardwood flooring. The walls painted in subdued earth tones are quite intriguing as typically spaces showcasing art are painted white. And as for the art, it’s from a broad range of eras which is very unexpected. Wonderful! Designed by Rodolphe Parente.
