Timeless balance

Posted on Fri, 24 Oct 2025 by midcenturyjo

This 18th-century barn has been reimagined by Berkeley Hawkes with an easy respect for balance, natural materials and a strong sense of place. Drawing on the calm symmetry of Georgian architecture the interior balances rustic texture with refined detail. Raw beams meet finely panelled walls, reclaimed oak and honed marble lend warmth and permanence. Antique pieces and salvaged elements layer history into the space, creating a home of enduring depth, rooted in contrast, crafted with soul.

This English beach house by Isabella Worsley features open, light-filled interiors layered with natural materials. Pale timber floors, textured walls and bespoke joinery create depth while neutral tones and curated furnishings enhance a calm, tactile atmosphere. Rooms flow seamlessly framed by sea views and subtle architectural details and handcrafted touches add warmth. Every element is considered, producing a refined, relaxed home with a cohesive, intentional design.

Organic matter

This 1930s apartment in west London was renovated and given a whole new stylish life thanks to designer Anna Møller. A foyer with the prettiest marble mosaic floor, an elegant and classic marble fireplace in the living room with mirror added to the alcoves, rich-toned wood cabinets in the kitchen, a wine-red drenched sitting room (this colour is FABULOUS), a sophisticated bedroom with dressing room and ensuite and an adorable kid’s room rounds out this gorgeous family home, and lots of moldings added to the walls (always a hit with me). Photos: Dean Hearne.

In the heart of a 7-hectare natural estate, this 900 m² castle embodies Périgord elegance on four fully landscaped levels. The property offers generous reception areas: living room, dining room, fitted kitchen, billiard room and wine cellar. The top two floors house nine suites, each with its own private bathroom. Outside, the swimming pool is discreetly integrated into a preserved environment, conducive to calm and relaxation. An ideal place to live for a family home, a hotel project, or a second home with character. Possibility to acquire a stable with the property. Only an hour from Bordeaux.
There’s a lot going on with this beautiful château – the red window frames (I’m not a fan), the fabulous millwork, the massive fireplace, a large industrial kitchen (that I’d want to make more historic) and then modern touches in the bedroom and bathrooms. It’s weird but I’d love a go at this challenge. For sale via Kretz for €2,490,000.
