Welcome to Camp Roig 31, a totally unique townhouse in the heart of Alaró on the foothills of the Tramuntana mountains, meticulously designed and renovated by Durietz Design & Development. Camp Roig 31 is a 600+ m2 townhouse with a sun-bathed 410 m2 courtyard overlooking the Alaró twin peaks and surroundings. The house, built in 1910, was originally as a halfway house for crops and meat from a large possession outside the town and has now been restored and upgraded into a modern big family residence with all the luxuries one could expect, with 5-7 bedrooms, 5 baths, wine cellar with it’s own house wine, 10x4m pool, garage and much more. The house has many antique charming details like two stone fireplaces and wooden carvings, but probably its main feature is the airy roofed terrace with arched openings to the private expansive backyard and mountain views.
What a spectacular home this is! Majorca living with the finest of details and Spanish style elegance. Once this home was put on the market I bet it sold really damn fast.

Wood panelling but make it really cool! I think for most of us when you think of wood panelling you think of the horrible orange stuff that was used several decades ago in retro homes. This home might be mid-century but it’s anything but horrible with this gorgeous white oak panelling used throughout that adds an incredible amount of warmth – particularly when used in almost every room. I really love how cocooning this is and not a white wall to be seen! Designed by Nina Freudenberger. Photos: Chris Mottalini.

This beautiful townhouse in Monnickendam, The Netherlands was designed by DAB Studio. Taking advantage of tall ceiling heights and some original historic elements, this home was transformed into a really unique, modern and minimal oasis. The kitchen is a stunner with all rounded corners creating a fluid space, and flows with the rounded glass and wood partition from the staircase. It’s amazing how much warmer and organic a space can feel with curves rather than sharp edges. The rounded shape of the kitchen backsplash accentuates all of the curves and helps delineate the kitchen. All of these creative elements I’m taking note of. Photos: Daniëlle Siobhán.

I’d love to share one of our recent projects where we transformed a 3250 sqft builder-grade home in suburban Markham into a personalized haven for a young family. They wanted a chic, low-maintenance space that reflects their lifestyle, with a focus on functionality and timeless design. The kitchen layout was completely reimagined with a spacious island, creating an open flow into the family room. The master ensuite was designed as a spa-like retreat with a walk-in shower and a large round tub. Throughout the home, we added plenty of storage solutions to keep it clutter-free while maintaining a warm, inviting atmosphere with neutral tones and natural materials. 
Teresa Leung of Studio Lii created such beauty in this home that is simple yet classic and neutral yet very soothing. I can see myself playing with bits of colour and pattern and antiques in here to add some spice with this being an ideal starting point. Photos: Niamh Barry

CIVILIAN transformed the interiors of an 1890’s Bedford-Stuyvesant townhouse, updating its historic layout for modern-day living. The kitchen and living rooms were moved to the tall, historically detailed parlor level, the private, sleeping spaces were brought to the garden level, and the studio created easier access to the home’s spacious garden and maximized natural light throughout. The project incorporates a playful mix of vintage and contemporary design drawing from a diverse mix of references, while carefully integrating custom built-in storage and state-of-the-art building systems. The resulting space foregrounds contemporary artists and makers while maintaining a sense of comfort and ease that supports the daily rituals of a young family. Photos: Brian W. Ferry
Every time I see a project with built-ins my heart skips a beat. I LOVE that here they are mimicked in the living room with the kitchen/dining area. And ends up making a cool “tunnel” effect between the rooms.
