What was once the chapel of a 20^th century convent has been transformed into a graceful, art filled penthouse duplex. With its traditional sequence of rooms, this penthouse mixes the classic with the unexpected. The end result is a delicately balanced space where art, heritage, and modernity intermingle. Our brief was to create a generous formal living space where they could entertain guests, but also easily be able to gather with their close family and their grandchildren (19 in total!). The reception area boasts a 20-foot-tall ceiling, and encompasses a dining room, a formal living room and a lounge area. Like the rest of the spaces, it combines chic traditional elegance with subtle architectural elements. The challenge was balancing a timeless and effortless-looking design with the mix of contemporary and classic pieces that are found throughout the home. 
Les Ensembliers at it again with another gorgeous project but this time much more formal. A wonderful juxtaposition of modern and classic. The drama of those gold ikat curtains – they steal the show!

Catherine Olasky and Maximilian Sinsteden of Olasky & Sinsteden gave this Essex, Connecticut country house a dose of understated elegance and a dash of European nostalgia. The restored home now exudes charm, timelessness and serenity.

Son Net is a palace in Mallorca (at the foot of Sierra de Tramuntana) built in 1672 and was converted into a luxury hotel in 1998. I absolutory fell in love with this hotel the moment I came across some photos and learned it was designed by one of my all-time favourite designers, Lorenzo Castillo. The palacio suites can include private terrace with fountains, balconies, living room, private garden, outdoor living and dining area, portico, or you can ‘slum it’ 😉 and book a pool cottage suite or the pool cottage house. What a breathtaking place to book a holiday stay.

The Northamptonshire country house, once soulless due to poor renovations, found new life through a thoughtful redesign. Every corner was reimagined, with the old drawing room transformed into a spacious kitchen and scullery, allowing for informal yet elegant entertaining. The former kitchen became a cozy library, adorned with rich hues and bookshelves. A light-filled day room provided a relaxing space, connecting the house with its history. The blend of old and new pieces created a timeless atmosphere, fostering a comfortable, fun, and enduring family life.
