Our lovely French clients have lived in this double fronted house for 16 years and, now their children are older, wanted to inject colour and interest to create a sophisticated home that would suit the next stage of their lives. The rarely used dining room was transformed into an inviting library/TV room for their three teenage children to read, relax or to entertain friends. The wall between the existing living areas was taken out, allowing light to flow throughout the ground floor. Throughout the house we overhauled the neutral interiors to align with the taste of our discerning client, who was strongly drawn to depth of colour and marrying of patterns. The end result is a house that feels grown up, layered, and well considered for each individual member of the family.
Designed by Ali Johnson and Alex Keith of Otta Design, this Battersea family home has some really scrumptious colours. I am head over heels for that deep Indian yellow in the library (Paint & Paper Library’s Muga). Photos: Jonathan Bond

New York based interior designer Harry Heissmann can do it all, and then some. Harry moves effortlessly from traditional to contemporary and everything in between, which prompted him to describe his style as ‘client-centric’. With a penchant for maximalism, whimsy and an apparent obsession with exotic animals, his spaces are destined to put a smile on your face.

Pink, purple, green, yellow and every shade in between make this home fun, family-friendly, colourful to the max and full of energy. Designed by Atelier ND Interior, it is located outside Amsterdam and owned by actors Guy Pearce and Carice van Houten. How could you not have a smile on your face when you walk through the front door?

Seattle-based Heidi Caillier completes another stunning project filled with unique, warm colours and a melange of patterns as she is known for. Cow Hollow exudes the coziest of feels I want to hug each one of these spaces. (Photos: Haris Kenjar)

Sharing a wonderful collaboration between Studio Ilse and landscape designers Claire Fernley and James Fox of FFLO.
The complete restoration of a 100-year old mansion in the German city of Koblenz, to become a warm, comfortable and welcoming new home for a young family that can adapt and evolve over time. Respecting the character of the original architecture, while introducing layers of robust natural materials and soft textiles, created a rich but grounded domestic feeling.
For this garden, spacially it is complex, because several activities had to come together in close proximity. In folding these elements together we were influenced by the Japanese “wondering garden” form, whereby terraces function as giant stepping stones angled or elevated so as to modulate the dynamics of the space. A path leads down the side of the house to a slightly raised platform and then winds through acers to a terrace accessed from the living room. From the terrace, steps cascade onto a concrete plinth (the footings of a former workshop); and after that a sandpit, a firepit, and a playground with trampoline. At the end of the playground is a low building (a bicycle museum) tied by a pergola to a higher shingle structure, the children’s house, all of which we also designed. A gingko tree intervenes. Beyond the pergola lies a miniature basketball court. (Photos: Leslie Williamson, Marianne Marjerus and FFLO)
