I am completely smitten with this Brooklyn townhouse designed by David Lucido. It gives artsy museum vibes but in the best possible way. I love all of the warmth and cozy furnishings yet it’s totally chic, with beautiful colours to add drama and extra coziness in some of the spaces. I can only imagine the parties and gatherings the owner must host. Only cool people allowed 😉 Photos: Ori Harpaz.

This full gut renovation of a 2800 square foot existing loft apartment located in the heart of Soho offers a refuge of calm for the homeowners in contrast to the bustle of Soho just outside the front door. The design concept worked to achieve a tranquil respite through an encompassing interior that feels at once calm and cozy. A relatively minimal architectural expression achieves this serenity when paired with the lived-in and eclectic curation of furniture, lighting, and art. The warmth of white oak millwork, hand-finished limewash, and plaster wall treatments ensure the space feels approachable and unified. Vintage pieces were collected on trips to antique fairs, like Brimfield and Round Top and are paired with contemporary furniture and art, primarily from independent makers.
Designed by Stephanie Betesh of Ember Studio, this loft is exactly the respite I would want from the hustle and bustle of the crazy city outside those windows. It is incredibly serene, earthy and organic. Everything you need to relax when you walk in the door. Photos: David Mitchell.

Vibrant penthouse balancing the iconic with the niche. With a simple brief of ‘as little white as possible‘, we had the pleasure of designing and curating the interiors of a newly built penthouse in a residential building in Kreuzberg. We accompanied the clients when they bought the property during the shell construction phase (right before COVID hit). The colours where consciously used to functionally define the open plan space – the kitchen is bright yellow, the dining area is kept in shades of red and the living room is drenched in green. A more atmospheric, nuanced design was chosen for the private area of the apartment, whereas all corners are carefully curated for a vibrant, lived-in composition. The goal was to create a rhythm of elements that pull interest and spark conversations, while being totally useful and not too precious. Each design decision in this project was taken with a full commitment – there are no half-measures here. And that adds to the joy, thinking of the final effect.
Such fun use of colours here, and I will always be smitten with bright yellow kitchens. That island of yellow tile is such a happy statement. This whole apartment is a statement, with such a wonderful energy. Designed by Studio Bosko.

This Neo-Tudor townhouse in Brooklyn could not be more charming from the outside, but it unfortunately had lost all character and original details on the interior. With the help and expertise of design firm Jesse Parris-Lamb, it is now the perfect refuge for a young family and despite being only 18′ wide, is fully functional and now has lots of great features, like the dining nook with banquette and that long book shelf/bench setup under the windows. Also dying over that massive U shaped George Smith sectional sofa in the den. Photos: Nicole Franzen

I adore postmodern design, and I feel like the world could use soooo much more of it. Bold colour choices, geometric patterns, shapely furniture that are often pieces of art themselves….it’s a vibrancy and creativity that really has a wonderful appeal and you can’t help but smile at. Designer Jen Talbot created such a fabulous home here with a more neutral colour palette in the main spaces (the brown and black accents add the pop postmodernism calls for) and then a huge wow factor in the main bedroom and children’s bathroom. The bedroom and ensuite colour palette is spectacular. Photos: Stephen Karlisch.
