At the base of Dalt Vila in South East Ibiza stands Palacio Orféo, a calm oasis amidst the neighbourhood’s bustle. Built for a government minister in the late 19th century and designed by Joan Gómez Ripoll, it combines traditional and contemporary elements. Renovated with architect Pascal Cheikh Djavadi it features a soft yellow façade, beams, and ornate balustrades. Highlights include a first-floor library, Emperador marble bathroom, minimalist kitchen and a sunlit terrace with expansive views. For sale via Domus Nova.
Shape, texture, and materiality converge within the walls of this warm and inviting home that places artistry and comfort on a pedestal.
Designed by Heidi Woodman Interiors, this home is so perfect in so many ways and has so much to offer that I think it would be a hit for the masses. The architecture has both modern and traditional elements, the colour palette is neutral and earthy with just the right amount of black accents, the furnishings all look like you could just sink into them and have a nap, there’s just a bit of pattern that is on the traditional side which is a pretty contrast to some of the modern art, textures that look incredibly cozy….
Located in historical Kyiv’s centre, this apartment was designed by Yevheniia Dubrovska for her client a young female graphic designer. The owner wanted distinct spaces within the regular layout: a bedroom, a separate wardrobe and an active zone. The 4-meter-high ceilings allowed for tall doors and classic transoms. The vintage-themed interior includes a refurbished dining table and furniture sourced from across Europe, while newer pieces were crafted from the designer’s sketches. Colour accents, like pink tiles and a blue ceiling in the bathroom, add character, aiming for a cozy, historical ambience.

This Miami house with its Art Deco influences has been taken to the next level by Istanbul-based design practice Sanayi313. Enis Karavil created a neutral base using natural materials and a light palette then piled in a maximalist meets minimalist flair. With vibrant gallery walls, black-and-white kitchen and powder room, a mix of Art Deco bones with pieces from different design eras, the result is dynamic and fresh.

A quaint addition to the iconic Spray Farm Estate (Victoria’s Bellarine Peninsula), The Art Studio purposefully and eloquently invites artistic inspiration from the first step inside.
