This striking 1930s villa on Marseille’s Corniche Kennedy has been reimagined by Dorothée Delayeas as a soulful retreat where Mediterranean views meet a 1970s spirit. The design preserves the home’s soul while introducing a fresh, contemporary touch. The interiors are all about light and texture while curated vintage pieces meet bold artworks. With layered terraces and a garden immersed in Mediterranean flora the house feels like a luminous, personal escape in the heart of the city.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Acqua di Parma, Saint-Tropez by Dorothée Meilichzon of CHZON.

Following the request of a young family in Montreal, the Roslyn project aimed to redesign their residence to optimize the space around the home, while connecting the living spaces and reorganizing the bedrooms upstairs. To achieve harmony and fluidity between the rooms, openings were created and enlarged, establishing a visual and physical link between the kitchen and the dining room, and continuity between the living room and the foyer. Upstairs, the bedroom has been designed as a master suite integrating an office space, a bathroom and a wardrobe behind the bed.
I continue to be amazed at the ability of Montreal architects to create so much light and sense of space in typically narrow, dark homes (that often have homes attached on both sides and lack the ability to easily add windows). Catherine Aubin and Catherine Potvin of design firm Catherine Catherine are new to me and now on my must-watch list. I am OBSESSED with that 2 story foyer with fireplace and bookshelves situation.

Designer Tim Pfeiffer of Hoedemaker Pfeiffer has crafted his own Seattle condo into a deeply personal reflection of layered design and lived experience. This restored 1920s residence balances historical character with modern utility, creating a warm and masculine retreat. Rich textures—bronze, leather, oak, stone, linen, and wool—anchor the interiors, while an eclectic, open layout encourages ease and conversation. Each room showcases Pfeiffer’s instinct for contrast and craftsmanship, from handwoven wall coverings to sculptural furniture. The result is a soulful, evolving sanctuary where function and beauty are seamlessly intertwined.

Albion Nord believes the most beautiful spaces are those with soul, more than just balance, proportion or historical context. Their design for Lords View One reflects this philosophy. With serene interiors crafted from marble, timber and bronze, each residence offers calm and character. Sliding, full-height doors frame sweeping views while ensuring privacy. Warm timber paneling replaces conventional white walls, unifying each space and creating a calm, textural environment of quiet sophistication and enduring quality.
