Situated near Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper in Milan, the apartment of Felizia Berchtold and Oskar Kohnen (of London/Milan based interior, architecture, and design studio Tutto Bene) combines historical significance with modern design. Set within a former Visconti palazzo, it serves as both a creative retreat and a pied-à-terre, shaped by the designers’ lives between Milan and London. The space revolves around a central garden room, awash with natural light. Here, original terrazzo flooring and plasterwork form a canvas upon which curated collectables interact in ever-changing compositions. At its core rests a black Kubus, a movable fabric-panelled cabinet inspired by Malevich’s Black Square, blending modern abstraction with historic surroundings. A shrine-like silver-leaf kitchen and a chrome-and-rosewood table enhance the rhythm of daily life with functional simplicity. The surrounding terrace, with its century-old wisteria and palm trees, infuses the interior with shades of green, creating a seamless connection between interior and exterior.
I cannot think of a cooler way to spend time in Milan than this perfect little apartment. It is simple and effortlessly chic and that insanely gorgeous terrazzo floor is giving me heart palpitations. Photos: Ludovic Balay.

Now THIS is how you treat a Craftsman style home right. You DO NOT paint over the millwork. You DO NOT get rid of pocket doors. You DO NOT remove original windows. Designer Jamie Haller maintained all the history and charm in this home (bless her) and enhanced it with bold patterned wallpaper, a bit of colour (that’s Calke Green by Farrow & Ball in the dining room) and some pretty light fixtures. A big round of applause from a fellow Craftsman homeowner. Photos: Jenna Peffley.

Built in 1915 and renovated again and again until it was purchased in 2022, deconstructed and renewed by Christina Simon Studio.  The client works in the music industry as well as other industries pertaining to wellness, neurobiology and expanding consciousness.  This property serves as the client’s pied a terre for hosting several industry parties during SXSW and ACL and the design of the home was to reflect and contribute to the fun and ambiance of these events.
I think this meets the 4 word brief of “Austin eclectic hippie vibe”. It’s a dark and moody gentleman’s hangout with a retro, groovy vibe. I really dig this. Photos: Douglas Friedman.

Have you ever seen someone tile a border above wainscotting in a hallway, that happens to be carpeted in leopard print? Me either! I’m telling you, these Parisian designers are just oozing with wild and creative ideas. I love every single bit of this apartment. The stripped (?) walls in the living room, that hallway situation, putting a cafe rod curtain in front of what looks like a MCM cabinet, and that retro green and pink bathroom! SWOONING!!!!

Welcome to Camp Roig 31, a totally unique townhouse in the heart of Alaró on the foothills of the Tramuntana mountains, meticulously designed and renovated by Durietz Design & Development. Camp Roig 31 is a 600+ m2 townhouse with a sun-bathed 410 m2 courtyard overlooking the Alaró twin peaks and surroundings. The house, built in 1910, was originally as a halfway house for crops and meat from a large possession outside the town and has now been restored and upgraded into a modern big family residence with all the luxuries one could expect, with 5-7 bedrooms, 5 baths, wine cellar with it’s own house wine, 10x4m pool, garage and much more. The house has many antique charming details like two stone fireplaces and wooden carvings, but probably its main feature is the airy roofed terrace with arched openings to the private expansive backyard and mountain views.
What a spectacular home this is! Majorca living with the finest of details and Spanish style elegance. Once this home was put on the market I bet it sold really damn fast.
