I could totally get behind barn living if it looked like this. Hubert Zandberg tackled the design of this contemporary barn renovation in Buckinghamshire and the bucolic setting and details of the architecture really add character and make this home so welcoming and relaxed.

I am in love with this home designed by Caroline Holdaway. Traditional with colour and pattern makes it so warm and inviting. (Photos: Simon Brown)

This property originally formed part of a 16^thC coaching inn. It is a flat fronted stone village house with cross mullion windows on the edge of the Cotswolds. The sole purpose of this gloriously neat and perfectly proportioned house was to stand as a hunting box for my clients. We removed a dividing wall downstairs opening up an airy space for socializing yet retaining it’s cosy appeal for intimate fireside evenings. Reclaimed timber floors and show stopping Raku fired floor tiles give charm in bucket loads to the kitchen and breakfast room. We purchased some perfectly figured reclaimed elm from which we crafted the kitchen and found some papier mache refracted glass cinema lights that illuminate the kitchen work surfaces. Carefully sourced antiques and client art work made this property a delight to work on.

Now this is GOALS!!! Built as a space for sport and gathering, the fieldhouse is a simple, functional structure at its core. Like the immersion of nature and recreation in the development of state and national parks of the early 20th century, this family wanted a structure where friends, family, and neighbors could gather, play sport, celebrate and relax in the country.

Contemporary French chic in this family home Biarritz-based L’Atelier Delphine Carrere. Think concrete cave with double height voids punching out the space while timber slats not only soften the sun and the hard materials but provide warming caramel tones. A play of positive and negative, man made and natural, inside and out.

I had to share another inspiring project by Lauren Liess and I must point out that this one includes the library of my dreams. This modern farmhouse with a cozy bohemian vibe was designed for a busy family of five who love being outside. The home has a mix of colorful patterns and neutrals. Our clients’ overall goal was to create a strong indoor-outdoor connection and easy entertaining. (Architect: Thomas French Builder: Daniel Valencic of Great Jones Build)
