It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend then it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Tuckernuck Store, Madison Ave by CeCe Barfield.

I had to share another project by designer Christian Bense – this time his own flat! Christian and his partner Matt bought a Battersea flat with ambitious renovation plans, only to discover that leasehold restrictions prevented every structural change they had envisioned. Instead of selling, Christian embraced the constraint and shifted to a light-touch, two-month makeover that worked with the existing layout. This change of course revealed the strengths of the flat, from its generous main rooms to the second bedroom that became an ideal study, while the tiny kitchen demanded careful, space-saving problem-solving. A neutral “light not white” palette set the tone for a layered interior built largely from rehomed and vintage pieces, since the short lead times ruled out most custom furniture. Without altering walls, Christian leaned into a bric-a-brac vibe, especially in the dark hallway, filling it with character rather than trying to brighten it. Art played a major role, covering the walls and embracing the flat’s quirks while reflecting the couple’s personal history. The result is a richly textured, lived-in home that feels authentic, inventive, and perfectly suited to both the space and its owners. Photos: Alexander James.

Lake Hartwell Residence | Hartwell, Georgia
Located on a wooded lakefront lot in Hartwell, Georgia, this newly constructed home offers a modern take on the classic lake cabin. A rich interior palette, featuring European oak, native tumbled stone, blackened steel, and boldly veined marble sets a warm, textural backdrop for contemporary, tailored furnishings and lighting.”
