Collaborating closely with the sellers, a luxury real estate development team, we worked swiftly to pivot the initial neutral-hued, crowd-pleasing design direction into something tailored, uncommon and artful – saturating the detailed interior architecture throughout with the most delightfully satisfying color palette, show-stopping surfaces, gorgeous light fixtures, plenty of pattern, and a rich collection of modern and vintage furnishings.
Now THIS is how you make a statement. Channel some Hollywood Regency, some Kelly Wearstler and you have an eye-popping home that will be the envy of the neighbourhood. By Black Lacquer Design. Photos: Jessica Alexander.

I’m dyingggggg over this apartment for sale in Olso, Norway that a kind reader sent us the link to. Built in 1899, with several living rooms, 3.3 metre high ceilings with incredible paneling, moldings and all that architectural goodness, 2 balconies, fireplace and a really unique and utterly FABULOUS colour story going on. Gorgeous!!!

Carla Fonts, founder of Dunbar Road Design, comes from a distinguished background as her parents are both part of prominent Havana families. Her grandmother and mother were the type of women who traveled to Paris to purchase table linens for entertaining. In 1958 after being exiled from Cuba, her family eventually made their way to Palm Beach, where her grandmother rented a glamorous 1920s-era home…located on Dunbar Road; hence the inspiration behind Dunbar Road Design’s name and aesthetic. 
And this is their project Serene Abode located in Dallas, Texas and it is just that – serene and effortlessly elegant. Complete with an exquisite kitchen.

And for a bit more of Tamsin Johnson‘s gorgeous and unique home. What appears to be the lower level hangout space with lounge spaces, bar, pool, library, and the loveliest bathroom. Just when you thought it could not get any better….

The client of an apartment renovation project holds a mini-competition and chooses Riba Architects’ solution, where no square metre goes to waste: there are enough rooms, no corridors – the space itself is breathing. We connect the street and courtyard sides to the living space and create a circular floor plan around the kitchen island to establish a sense of grandeur. We make sure the lines are long and elegant. While removing the roughcast surface, we get an unexpected gift: the rooms formerly connected by doors were actually divided only by two huge brick arches 100 years ago. The seals under the arches are removed, while the arches are cleaned and used as a basis for the overall design. At every step, we seek to enrich the ambience with unexpected details and colours: thermally treated wood is introduced, and a mirror in the bathroom pierces a peephole from an old front door while another mirror is given an imposing massive frame from the wing of the same front door. The retro white square tiles are complemented by the intense dark turquoise colour of the walls and the ceiling above. The wall by the kitchen island is the colour of the morning dawn and so are the velvet curtains in the bedroom. Top ceramic designer Bojana Ristevski from Studio Juha created unforgettable ‘tableware’ carrying the motif of dark blue grain. The ‘two arches’ apartment on Francetova Street is a modern classic. Everyone who visits it says: this is where I would live.
I would live there too! Those arches are absolutely incredible. And the glass walls with curtains in front are a brilliant solution for keeping the space bright and spacious whilst adding privacy when needed. No wonder Riba Architects won an award for this project. (Tableware photos: Maruša Maze. All others: Janez Marolt)
