Classic details marry with contemporary profiles to create a space outside of an era. Timefull materials, intended to age, lend ease and authenticity to the design. Unlacquered brass, hand troweled plaster, honed Pietra Gris, and ebonized oak walk the line between grandeur and everyday living. Pairings: wild rice, rainy afternoons, Crémant d’Alsace.
This is home of Victoria Sass of Minneapolis-based Prospect Refuge. It is everything I love about design and more. Respecting the history of a home (NOT painting the original woodwork!), adding lots of vintage touches and mixing it with more contemporary furnishings which are often what gets you the level of comfort we have come to expect. I adore every little bit each space. Photos: Chris Mottalini.

Can Frit by Ibiza & Barcelona based Romano Arquitectos. The merge of past and present. Modern and traditional architecture counterbalancing each other in a very pleasing way.

Filtered Frame Dock by Matt Fajkus Architecture (MF Architecture) has been crafted as an integral part of the site, sitting at the base of a steep, narrow area, connecting land, water, and sky. It’s designed to offer a perfect blend of sun and shade, adjusting with the seasons. The roof, made of mild steel, is strategically angled to offer scenic views while managing sunlight exposure. Perforated stainless steel screens provide structural support while filtering light and breezes. Using durable materials like hardwood and steel, the dock creates a sensory experience, blending seamlessly with the natural environment’s warm tones.

This absolutely stunning property villa was designed by the architect Antonio Palacios, and is located in the seaside town of Vilagarcía de Arousa, in Pontevedra, Spain. It was built in 1900 and maintains many original details of the time. It has 9 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, is 678m² on a property of 611m² and I am completely smitten with this home. Such exquisite original details and what a beautiful location. For sale for €900,000 via Lucas Fox.

Completely refurbished to accommodate the clients’ family, this typical 1980s home has been modernized to showcase the various vintage pieces amidst a space filled with character, just like its owners.  With a strong presence of wood, marble and touches of color, the ambience of each room reflects the Blanc Marine signature as well as the clients’ love of art and antiques, contributing in every way to the unique atmosphere that emanates from this home.
Charlotte-Denys residence designed again by Blanc Marine. I would have never EVER guessed this was a typical boring 1980s home. Lots of dark elements for drama, gold toned woods for some warmth, a sense of calm and old world vibes…I love every element and every inch of this. (Photos: Charles-Olivier Richard)
