This project by Zoë Feldman Design is world’s apart from the last project I shared. And while the vibe here is a completely 180 it is also tugging at my heartstrings. Inspired by our client’s Portuguese background, we drew upon the history and unique design elements of this picturesque European country to transform the pictured Palisades townhome from dated to “old-world.” The plaster walls and soft curves that define the home’s esthetic are carried throughout the core spaces. Floating marble shelves combined with upper and lower cabinetry in the kitchen fuses function with decoration for the ultimate kitchen design. We enjoyed mixing metal finishes throughout the kitchen & bathrooms to produce a design that is well-curated through tension and balance. Built-ins and hidden closet doors are strategically placed in almost every room to capitalize on any opportunity to maximize storage.

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.
