This New York City loft is drop dead gorgeous and I am completely smitten. It has everything: colour, pattern, vintage, modern, light and dark, texture, a little shine…. Todd Nickey and Amy Kehoe really outdid themselves with this project. (Photos: Haris Kenjar)

“Our clients wanted to bring part of their origins to Madrid. Plus, they are avid travellers—she is Mexican and he Galician—so they yearned to bring a family influence to their new home. This project is the outcome of a quest to find colour in Madrid, a characteristic marked by the owners’ journeys and origins. We focused on vivid colours: bright yellows, greens, blues and reds, paired with materials like tiles, ceramics and fine wood. They are all cool materials in bright colours brought from distant, exotic locales. White tile combines with blue, red or yellow in different areas and is finished by edging to frame the different zones.”

The hero of this design is tile, colourful, handmade, glorious tile simply but cleverly laid. It’s a celebration of a simple material elevated by clever design. Conde Duque by S+DLH (Sierra Delahiguera).

Kin House is a lovingly restored (by owners Matt and Gaby Harvey and interior-design studio Barlow & Barlow) 1680 Georgian manor in the Wiltshire countryside, open for private parties, retreats, high times or down time. It has a shell-encrusted grotto, 12 gloriously designed bedrooms and would be an incredible venue for a wedding or an epic party. What a beauty!

Some colour and pattern is what London & Norfolk based Emma Deterding of Kelling Designs is all about, whether it be a city, country or manor home. A bit traditional and classic, with some elegance and practicality to round out the spaces. Lovely.

Located in the bastide town of Castillonnès, on the border of the Dordogne, this grand building was designed by Victor Louis-famed for the Opera House in Bordeaux. The current owners have sensitively and sympathetically restored the house under the supervision of batiments de France. In the lower ground floor, the medieval fortifications can still be seen; and in the floor below there is an open water source. The ground floor comprises an imposing entrance hall, 4 salons and a grand salon, opening to a terrace with panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. and a large kitchen. The first floor comprises five en suite bedrooms, accessed by two staircases. The east wing could provide two further rooms/apartments. There is a separate self contained apartment in the lower ground floor with its own access.
I think I’m in love! That courtyard and U shaped layout is fantastic. Also nice to see a lovely interior. I would be quite happy to live with it just as it is (at least for some time). For sale (and photos) via Leggett Immobilier and Le Figaro Properties.
