C & J Katz Studio designed this lakeside New Hampshire home for longtime clients, blending memories of a beloved family cottage and their former Boston townhouse. Built on a steep hillside, the residence steps down in levels, each offering expansive lake views. A winding oak staircase recalls the townhouse, while stone floors, a generous fireplace, and ample storage nod to the cottage. Rich in colour and texture, the interiors balance joyful details with a deep connection to site and family history.

Set within a Victorian terrace in North London this family home was reimagined by Laura Stephens with colour, warmth and character at its core. With paint colours already chosen by the client, Stephens introduced bold fabrics, vintage finds and bespoke furniture. Playful pattern mixing, a hallmark of her studio, added energy, from a patterned runner against mosaic tiles to layered rugs and artwork. The result is a colourful, cosy home rich with individuality and charm.

Overlooking Sydney’s Manly Harbour, Delwood House has been reimagined as a calm and enduring retreat. Larissa Leigh Interiors shaped the interiors with a gentle hand, layering light, colour and materiality with restraint. Original elements, including arched thresholds, timber detailing and stained glass, provided architectural rhythm, while curated furnishings introduced presence and ease. The design avoids excess, offering instead a quiet, timeless interior defined by softness, resonance and lasting comfort.

This project by Liddicoat & Goldhill involved the renovation of a Grade II listed 18th-century mill in Wiltshire, previously converted into a 3,133 sqft home. Built into a hillside, the four-storey structure was extended with a double-height orangery and terrace to connect the elevated living areas with the garden below. An inverted floor plan placed open-plan living spaces on the bright upper levels, while bedrooms occupy the more secluded lower floors. A carbon steel and oak helical staircase was inserted through the full height of the building, uniting the spaces while respecting the original industrial fabric. The design carefully balances conservation with the introduction of modern Scandinavian interiors. Photos: Michael Sinclair & Will Scott.

A lobster/boob bathroom. Eyeball chairs. A “conversation” bespoke sofa. A concierge desk/bar. A uterus bed. A stained glass eye window. A triple height indoor garden. Welcome to the wacky and absolutely beautiful home of artists of Philip and Charlotte Colbert created by Buchanan Studio and Chris Dyson Architects who concocted this masterpiece from five dilapidated brick terrace homes. There is so much space and so many surreal and creative things everywhere you look. Photos: Alicia Waite.
