Sharing another unexpected interior by Studio Gusto – this time for a home in Washington, D.C.. What a lovely surprise this would be walking through the front door. Also I am having a serious dose of library envy. A must-have in the next house! Photos: Stacy Zarin Goldberg.

“Perched on a hill this small beach shack,  which has fabulous treetop views over Portsea and Sorrento,  underwent a dramatic transformation. An extensive renovation doubled the space with an additional level built underneath with pool deck area into the steep hill. It was important to keep the original elements of the house, such as the limestone walls and angled exposed beam ceiling. A minimal all white palette with custom furniture and select vintage pieces and objects create a calm and relaxed environment for the many visitors during summer months.”

L’Étoile des Baux is one of the homes forming Iconic House, that combines the best of the hotel industry and holiday rentals for the ultra-luxury market. Located in the heart of the Alpilles in Provence, this former farmhouse is absolutely stunning, with some spaces built into the surrounding rock which makes this so unique and brings art and nature together in an exquisite way. It makes for a spectacular vacation rental for a large gathering spread over 650 m2 with 8 ensuite rooms, 8 bathrooms, outdoor theatre, cinema, heated pool, gym and yoga studio and an artist’s studio. Designed by Joséphine Fossey.

The penthouse, located in a typical Parisian 8th arrondissement structure, was totally transformed by connecting a floor of “chambres de bonnes” or attic rooms with the existing apartment below, by means of a fluid plaster-clad staircase that provides a luminous passage between residential and private areas. Distinctive Haussmannian details were interpreted in a more modern way: bleached “pointe de Hongrie” oak floors, open perspectives between the spaces, plaster moldings and detailing, a glass-partitioned “atelier d’artiste”. On both levels outside views are emphasized and stretch from the Arc de Triomphe & the Eiffel Tower to Montmartre. The architecture remains sober and timeless, allowing the owners’ breathtaking art & design collection to add color to the rooms. A mesmerizing mix of African elements by Maison Intègre and more cutting-edge pieces by Van Severen, Paulin and Charpin complement vintage Gino Sarfatti & Paavo Tynell fixtures and Sheila Hicks tapestries. Many rooms feature bespoke designs by Hélène Van Marcke’s studio, including desks, sofas and a custom headboard with Sam Kasten hand-woven upholstering.
A perfect blend of elegance and minimalism to not distract from the monumental views of Paris. Also throw in a Flos Zeppelin chandelier and I’m smitten. Another beauty designed by Hélène Van Marcke. Photos: Cafeïne.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Brave New World, a dental clinic by Esoteriko.
