Located in Paris’s 14eme arrondissement, Jessica Helgerson lovingly designed this 550 sq ft apartment for herself and her family. She took inspiration from the 14eme itself, a neighborhood with a village-like feel: abundant community gardens, quiet streets, mutual aid associations, and influence of many resident artists past and present. The apartment is playful and pastoral, with a rich palette of greens and filled with art made almost entirely by friends. The mural in the bedroom was hand-painted by Jessica to reflect the view out the window – leafy, green, and full of joy. Nearly all the furnishings are antiques sourced at Paris flea markets and elsewhere in France. The ceiling light fixtures are part of a lighting line designed by Jessica.
This apartment is so full of joy and light, and that green tile is STUNNING. J’adore! Photos: Aaron Leitz.

Located in a remote area in Sonoma County, this 640-square-foot cabin blends rustic charm with modern design. With its sliding wooden doors closed it resembles a barn. The one-room space is divided by screens, separating a kitchen and a sleeping area. The cabin, clad in reclaimed redwood with a rusted steel roof, is a cozy retreat sitting amidst gardens with a bath shed, a sleeping shed and a copper tub overlooking Mount St. Helena.

“A sanctuary away from modern day distractions, the Petit Eco Cabin encourages inhabitants to engage in a simpler way of life. Overlooking an organic vineyard in the idyllic backyard of Yallingup, the Petit Eco Cabin is available for accommodation here.

The brief was short with a few requisites; a floor plan as small as possible, and ‘that’ window. Architectural nuances were employed to denote zones within the small space; a timber screen separates the bedroom, a sunken level creates the living, and a window seat becomes an opportunity for dining.”

Amidst the pandemic, a client sought a retreat from her busy life and purchased a 45 sq m studio in NW Portland. Casework transformed the pied-a-terre into her perfect getaway. Imagined as a recharging station, the space features vibrant palettes, pastels, patterns, and animal prints. Key highlights include Kate Blairstone’s Tigress wallpaper in the entry and Heirloom Roses wallpaper creating a semi-custom headboard.
