BATHROOM

WHAT THE FARMHOUSE D’AMORE INTERIORS Location: Colorado, USA Date Completed: November 2019 Interior Designer: Gina D’Amore Bauerle Architect: Karen Sund Construction Company: Kirella Homes This custom new build was a blank canvas for D’Amore Interiors, the brief was to design a “modern, glam farmhouse”. The homeowners desired a private sanctuary for themselves, that would provide all the spaces their lives required.

Each room has its own personality, but the design flows and transitions as you continue throughout. Each room had a specific purpose and was designed with intention for the people who would use them. This home sits on a mountainside with nature in view in nearly every space. D’Amore Interiors used colour to draw in certain elements. As such, the designers created a clean black and white kitchen and master bathroom so that the views of nature became the art. Due to the scale of the home, most of the finishes and features had to be equally substantial in size in order to maintain a natural balance.

BANGKOK PENTHOUSE BY DESIGN INTERVENTION Location: Bangkok Thailand Date Completed: November 2019 Interior Designer: Design Intervention This is a 5,200 square foot penthouse apartment located in the most prime location in central Bangkok with glorious 270-degree views across the city. Design Intervention have reconfigured the generous floor plan to better suit the needs of their client’s bachelor lifestyle, allocating a far larger proportion of the apartment for his personal space.

The white based stone is fresh and crisp, the rich wood grains bring warmth and the metallic rose gold highlights add an undercurrent glamour. Design Intervention’s bathroom design is a fluid continuation of the bedroom design so that the two spaces feel wholly integrated. A crisp, fresh contemporary space but also one that felt warm and welcoming.

This bathroom is a clean streamlined design that provides a unique and luxurious personal retreat and all of Design Interventions considerations are geared to draw focus to and accentuate the glorious skyline views.

FLEEMAN CHATEAU BY GODDARD DESIGN GROUP Location: Rogers, Arkansas, USA Date Completed: June 2019 Architect: Bill Fleeman Interior Designer: Chris Goddard, Goddard Design Group Construction Company: Dynamic Development, Inc. Custom designed and built by the owner, this French-inspired chateau presides over 300 acres and commands a spectacular view of a lush valley in Rogers, Arkansas.

Here we look at the master bathroom in the custom designed chateau.

This is an elegantly appointed master bath in this French chateau-inspired home in Rogers, Arkansas. The master bath is divided into two areas. Each area contains a custom vanity designed with specifications from the owner, dressing areas, and multiple seasonal walk-in closets. The intention of Goddard Design Groups design was the creation of a peaceful reserve for the Fleemans to prepare for a busy day’s work and to rest and unwind at the evening.

French antique furniture and accessories complement both areas. Most notably to the master bath are the pearl-beaded wallpaper and a custom rose quartz chandelier, both which add a sense of sophistication and elegance.

HUNTERS HILL HOUSE IIBY ALEXANDRA KIDD DESIGN Location: Sydney Australia Date Completed: December 2019 Interior Designer: Alexandra Kidd Hunters Hill House II was a complete inside and out renovation, with every aspect reconsidered to suit the next phase of the clients’ life. Alexandra Kidd Design set out to balance the casual and formal spaces, so every inhabitant had a dedicated space to feel welcome.

Appreciating form and function, they added an operable skylight to the master ensuite, which is as beautiful as it is practical. By beginning with how the clients wished to live and how they desired to feel when walking through the front door – rather than focusing on interior trends – they created a timeless home that truly nurtures its inhabitants. Alexandra Kidd Designs worked closely with the clients to understand their personal style and daily rituals, and designed bespoke elements tailored exactly to how they live.

FOREST HILLBY ANCERL STUDIO Location: Toronto, Canada Date Completed: September 2019 Architect: Ancerl Studio Interior Designer: Ancerl Studio Developer: CLN Development Construction Company: Maia Legacy Builders Dedicated to sophisticated living and vibrant entertainment, Parkwood 8 connects its inhabitants with its lush surroundings.

It is an invitation to dream and live wild in Toronto’s most coveted Forest Hill.

Designed by multidisciplinary Ancerl Studio, Parkwood 8 exudes contemporary elegance balanced with a modernized industrial flair.

The master bathroom has been designed to inspire energizing mornings and relaxing evenings. It offers a choice for the residence since the room is as closed or open as its users wish - free from inhibitions and unnecessary layers. The stunning loft windows provide a stunning connection to the home’s surroundings and views of the magical sunken rear garden.

Parkwood 8’s surrounding neighbourhood boasts more traditional Tudor & Georgian style homes, using brick, stone, and limestone on their facades. Although Parkwood 8 has a more modern aesthetic, Ancerl Studio ensured that this home feels integrated into its surrounding by honouring those traditional materials.

COOGEE BATHROOM BY BROOKE AITKEN DESIGN Location: Sydney, Australia Date Completed: November 2018 Architect: Brooke Aitken and Delphine Hernot Interior Designer: Brooke Aitken Design Construction Company: Cathayne Constructions From the bounds of the original 1920s heritage layout, the clients wanted a more substantial master bathroom, marrying a separate powder room and old bathroom together, that could become a tranquil retreat from the rest of the family home.

The challenge was to create a design that married details of the building’s heritage identity with a refreshed and contemporary appeal. Brooke Aitken Design endeavoured to form the ambient quality of a ‘meditative pool;’ a quiet, still, light-well in which the clients could take sanctuary from the hubbub of the common living areas. A crystalline seat beneath a new window faces the entry, an area that was previously a side passage and external door. Within the main bathroom, there is a gentle distinction between the ‘functional’ zone and the ‘indulgent/meditative’ wet room as a glazed door set between two tiled hobs separates the powder and dressing room from the shower and bath wet area.

BATHROOM

COTSWOLD MANOR BY PIPPA PATON DESIGN LIMITED Location: Gloucestershire, United Kingdom Date Completed: September 2019 Interior Designer: Pippa Paton Design Limited Architect: Pippa Paton Design Limited Construction Company: Drew Warren Building Contractor Pippa Paton Design Limited were enlisted for a complete renovation of a Grade II listed Cotswold manor house, untouched for almost 50 years. In the ensuite, a centrally positioned T-shaped ‘pod’, made from marine-grade teak, was designed to house a shower, double vanities, floor-to-ceiling storage and display niches and screen the WC from view. The central position allowed original stone walls, oak beams and fireplace to be exposed, aesthetically connecting with exposed materials in other areas.

From the teak-walled shower, a screen (clear above shoulder height) allows views across the orchard and floor-to-ceiling glass gives a visual connection to the bedroom, allowing a view of the alabaster sculpture through switchable privacy glass.

A fossil in the shower can be seen from the bedroom, framed by alabaster wall-lights.

The bespoke sculptural teak bath has a remote-operated self-filling mechanism allowing it to sit unencumbered in the centre of its space, with spectacular views over the valley.

ROMERO CANYON BY STUDIO WILLIAM HEFNER Location: Montecito, California Date Completed: 2018 Architect: William Hefner Interior Designer: Kazuko Hoshino Built and designed by William Hefner and his late wife Kazuko Hoshino, Romero Canyon is located in Montecito, California which took over 10 years to come to fruition.

Indeed, this is a truly fantastic design, which serves to complement the natural environment through its use of natural stone and wood, integrating into the landscape.

There are three stone buildings, which are a combination of stone and integrated coloured plaster, mixed with wood-stained cedar on the interior and exterior.

For the interior design, the palette is limited from grey to seafoam to light taupe - pulling inspiration from traditional Japanese houses where indigo and blues mix with woods. The space is purposely underfurnished to create a sense of space, light, and tranquillity.

BAYVIEW HOUSE BY IOANNA LENNOX INTERIORS Location: Sydney, Australia Date Completed: December 2019 Interior Designer: Ioanna Lennox Interiors Construction Company: Taylor Building Industries – Commercial and Residential Construction

ANTIC BY J. LYKASOVA Location: Moscow, Russia Date Completed: 2018 Interior Designer: Jenya Lykasova

A contemporary and sophisticated luxury bathroom renovation in the stunning seaside location of Bayview on Sydney’s Pittwater.

This project features a modern bathroom with antique notes. Fond of ancient culture, the clients were implementing the interior of their house in a way to have resembling historic features, yet still be modern and sleek. This resulted in a space that gracefully combines contemporary style with old-time elements, supporting the vibe of the rest of the house.

A sense of space was a quintessential aspect of the design as this would evoke the feeling of luxury. There is an abundance of light and space in the finished project with each fixture thoughtfully placed and considered.

The size and location of the ensuite allowed for the opportunity to include two entry points into the new bathroom: one as a walkthrough from the bedroom and one from the opposite side directly linking to the walk-in wardrobe. The envelope of the ensuite with its 3-metre high porcelain marble panels and herringbone tiled floor set the stage for the bespoke fixtures and tapware and are the unsung heroes of the bathroom.

The space is divided into four functional zones united in a single interior concept to create a harmonious, holistic and cosy place. The four zones include a bathroom zone, washbasin zone, shower zone, and Hammam. The accent group is a washbasin group with oval mirrors, framed with a dark pink metal edge and large sinks resembling antique bowls. The light is built into the mirrors, having custom-designed wooden window shutters curtain the windows, allowing the natural light to come through.

For peace and tranquillity, the designers installed the minimalist, pastel coloured Hammam.

The designers remained cognisant the final result had to fit in the relaxed Australian lifestyle but provide a sophisticated home for the well-travelled client.

NERO & WHITE BY MASHA ROSLIAKOVA Location: Moscow Date Completed: 2018 Interior Designer: Masha Rosliakova Nero & White, by Masha Rosliakova, has been designed in marble Nero Marquina and white onyx, with added light systems. The design opens up all of the natural beauty of the stone and also makes additional light features. The beautiful stone surfaces can be polished like a mirror, which in turn absorbs everything around them and intensely enriches the whole space with exquisite reflections.

As a part of the whole residence project,

by Masha Rosliakova, the main Master bathroom “Nero and White” aims to really show and express the deep beauty of the room. This is a very important and private part of the house, created using a deep, polished Nero Marquino stone and White Onyx with lighting systems aimed to be very dramatic in its aesthetic. The striking design features two Onix sinks placed opposite each other, which were made especially for this project by Masha Rosliakova.

AQUARIOUS MEWS BY CURATED HOME BY CHRISSY & CO Location: Vancouver, Canada Date Completed: February 2020 Interior Designer: Chrissy Cottrell Construction Company: Future Living Aquarious Mews offers a piece of European charm, tucked away in the Vancouver sky.

The renovation and re-design that Curated Home by Chrissy & Co has implemented gave this dated city apartment a new lease on life with a modern and playful look.

Styled with the intention of going against what is to be expected of other properties in this area, Curated Home by Chrissy & Co wanted to create a vibrant and textured space. With hand carved craftsmanship from Parisian influenced pieces, blended with more contemporary silhouettes, this space echoes a spirit of ageless and vibrant diversity. Layers of colours, shapes and textures are combined for a sophisticated style; this city space property has been designed to create depth and intrigue whilst remaining liveable. The designer’s favourite element of the space is the mix of feminine Parisian charm with more distinguished and sharp silhouettes which elevate the project concept.

ARDEN BY STUDIO WILLIAM HEFNER Date Completed: 2017 Architect: William Hefner Interior Designer: Antonia Hutt Builder: Hanover Builders The inspiration is more English than some of Studio William Hefner’s other houses.

The house follows a tranquil, symmetrical Georgian plan, with tall and elegant proportions. A heavy limestone surround at the front door and a slate roof contribute to the substantial façade. But it is all bright and light at the same time, with the very large steel windows and leafy trees beyond, casting lovely shadows inside on bare white walls.

For the cabinetwork in particular crisp grids of doors, drawers, and cupboards lie flush and seamless, without mouldings or in most cases, even handles. In the master bathroom, three massive, pure shapes each float in their own space: an egglike oval tub posed in front of a window, the large glass box of the shower, and twin, thick, suspended oblong vanities. Every fixture is a sculpture.

FOXROCK BY HEDGEROE HOME Location: Dublin Date completed: November 2019 Architects: Hedgeroe Interior Designer: Hedgeroe The master bedroom in this Dublin home had been renovated by Hedgeroe Home’s Design Team with a classic style in mind, whilst also considering the sustainability of design. Layering fabrics and textures gave the room depth and character, whilst the neutral tones ensured that this bedroom space was a calming haven for the client.

The design brief given to Hedgeroe Home was to deliver a calming yet classic bedroom.

The entire master bedroom was refurbished, starting with the wooden flooring which was re-stained and finished. Due to the room being generous in size, the designers chose to create ‘areas’ within the bedroom. One of the standout areas is the bay window which Hedgeroe Home worked with the client to use as her makeup/dressing table area, due to the wonderful abundance of natural light in the window area.The classic interior was created by mixing textures and finishes for a timeless approach.

L MODERN HOUSE BY DO STUDIO Location: Israel Date Completed: September 2019 Interior Designer: Orly Dekter This house was designed by DO Studio with a concept for combinations of materials, that create contrast between themselves but altogether create harmony and balance for a feeling of elegance and modernity.

Each design element is carefully crafted for the project, paying particular attention to the details in order to create a uniform design language. Many of DO Studio’s key decisions stem from this design concept of uniformity and the perception of space.

DO Studio incorporated interesting visuals including a bathtub which is divided from the bedroom through a glass panel with large sliding doors parallel, allowing light to carry through the room. The modern ceiling and wall lights are striking yet understated to not deflect from the elegant design in the space. With the monochrome colour scheme contrasting perfectly against the parquet wooden flooring, the bedroom is clean and light with beauty found in simplicity.

WINE COUNTRY CANADA

BY CURATED HOME BY CHRISSY & CO Location: Penticton, BC, Canada Date Completed: March 2020 Interior Designer: Chrissy Cottrell Construction Company: Chrissy Cottrell Developer: Curated Home By Chrissy & Co Construction Company: Black Hawk Construction Curated Home by Chrissy & Co’s Wine Country Canada project has been created as a beautiful fusion of European soul, embodied in a modern castle. Finding the balance between numerous design elements, this space truly reflects both modern luxury and the personality of its residents.

This design was constructed to maximise the exterior vanquish points and views while echoing the brilliance of the seasonal colour palette. From rich gold hues in the fall to lustrous greens in the spring, the luxurious velvets and finishing materials were carefully selected to echo the beauty of lake country. In the master bedroom, the dark walls and gold touches of autumn are blended with the lighter furniture. This unique space echoes the multifaceted nature of the clients who have a deep love for old European architecture and design, with a strong appreciation for minimalistic elements.

FLEEMAN CHATEAU BY GODDARD DESIGN GROUP Location: Rogers, Arkansas, USA Date Completed: June 2019 Architect: Bill Fleeman Interior Designer: Chris Goddard, Goddard Design Group Construction Company: Dynamic Development, Inc. Custom designed and built by the owner, this French-inspired chateau presides over 300 acres and commands a spectacular view of a lush valley in Rogers, Arkansas.

The master bedroom is refined and drenched in blush. The custom bedding and silk drapery, along with an Edward Fields carpet create a warm and inviting retreat for the client who specifically requested that the room be elegant and the height of femininity. The custom-designed chandelier which hangs from the platinum leaf ceiling has a bronze coat and is adorned with rose quartz, clear crystals, and rock crystals.

Other lighting in the room was designed using antique architectural elements.

The designers’ favourite aspect of this room is the rose quartz and crystal brass chandelier. This piece was commissioned, and thus the team enjoyed working with the artisan to create an exceptional piece of artwork for the room.

HAMPTON 899 BY ANCERL STUDIO Location: Ontario, Canada Date Completed: December 2019 Developer: Ancerl Studio Architect: Ancerl Studio Interior Designer: Ancerl Studio Construction Company: Quantum Spec Project Management Just steps from the shoreline of Lake Ontario sits Hampton 899, a new build home, traditional in concept and moderncontemporary in execution. Located in stately Port Credit, this residence has been designed by Ancerl Studio with a nod to tradition though filled with the unexpected.

While the second level features three bedrooms, a laundry room, and three bathrooms, the entire third floor is dedicated to the principals’ quarters, including a hotel-like bedroom and a private roof terrace. Floor to ceiling upholstered panels were implemented by Ancerl Studio to add warmth and symmetry to the feature wall, while a gas fireplace balances the space on the opposing wall, creating a truly intimate retreat. A hallway passage complete with a desk space, bar area, and an outpouring of natural light leads to the walk-in closet, and pristine modern white bathroom which is fresh and clean.

BAYVIEW HOUSE BY IOANNA LENNOX INTERIORS Location: Sydney, Australia Date Completed: December 2019 Interior Designer: Ioanna Lennox Interiors Construction Company: Taylor Building Industries – Commercial and Residential Construction A contemporary and sophisticated luxury master suite renovation in the stunning seaside location of Bayview on Sydney’s Pittwater.

The brief was to deliver a master bedroom and ensuite that were worthy of a luxury hotel. The client spends a lot of time traveling and residing in some of the most exclusive hotels around the world and wished to create a comparable space that he could call his own. In order to create the luxurious, contemporary master suite that the client desired, the space needed to be redefined and expanded; the existing walk-in-robe and ensuite were gutted and combined to create a spacious area for the new master ensuite.

In the bedroom, a favourite aspect is the way colour has been used tonally and layered with textures and warmth in everything from the automated drapes and sheers to the bed linen and silk wallpaper to the artwork on the floor, the rug.

HOME CINEMA

COUNTRY HOUSE HOME CINEMA BY BAYSWATER INTERIORS Location: Worcestershire, United Kingdom Date Completed: 2018 Interior Designer: Bayswater Interiors This project involved the creation of a home cinema and bar area for clients who own a large period Country House in Worcestershire. Bayswater Interiors worked with experts to ensure that the technical aspects of the home cinema met the client’s requirements, and also designed storage that would ensure all of the AV equipment and children’s games consoles could remain hidden to leave the design feeling more streamlined.

The designers introduced a selection of fabrics for the acoustic wall coverings and also created a lit alcove in the cinema to provide a visual focus.

SECRET CINEMA, CORNWALL BY FELICIA FOREMAN INTERIORS Location: North Cornwall, United Kingdom Date Completed: July 2019 Interior Designer: Felicia Foreman Interiors Construction Company: HML Builders The brief for Felicia Foreman Interiors was to create a state-of-the-art home cinema in an unused lower ground floor room, with seating for up to 12 people and a fun relaxed design innkeeping with the rest of the house and its location.

The design blends together beautifully, with the orange velvet and stunning monochrome fabric used on the seating providing an element of fun, together with the understated sleek black fabric walls, dark carpet and walnut cabinetry. The acoustics in the room are incredible with 13 speakers seamlessly hidden behind the fabric walling and in the ceiling.

LEICESTERSHIRE LUXURY

BY FINITE SOLUTIONS Location: Leicestershire, United Kingdom Date Completed: December 2019 Interior Designer: Finite Solutions An unused lower ground floor room was converted into a bespoke cinema and games room by Finite Solutions to deliver a very high-end audio-visual performance as well as a comfortable and relaxing environment.

The priorities were to ensure the room was warm and cosy, provide a layout conducive to high-end cinema performance but also utilised the whole room to provide fun and entertainment.

In terms of styling, the clients wanted something completely different from the rest of the house and were open to ideas leaving Finite Solutions full discretion to design the room as they envisioned it.

HOME CINEMA

HOMESTEAD IS WHERE THE HEART IS BY NEW WAVE AV Location: Kent, United Kingdom Date Completed: March 2020 Interior Designer: Fisher ID Architect: Offset Developer: Manak Homes New Wave AV were enlisted for a highperformance dedicated cinema room within the basement of a family home. The room needed to have a fully immersive audio system with the largest screen that was suitable for the viewing distances, with the correct ratio for film and to be seamlessly installed within the room.

As there was no natural light it was critical that the room had layered lighting. The client wanted to ensure there was enough task lighting for cleaning, whilst having dimmable secondary lighting that could remain on whilst a film was being watched.

WILMSLOW RESIDENCE

BY PANORAMIC PROPERTIES LTD Location: Cheshire, UK Date Completed: February 2019 Interior Designer: Panoramic Properties Ltd As part of the full renovation of the property, the clients aspired to have a designated cinema room. Their love for film made this an important aspect in the property’s redesign and with the space allocated for this room. Panoramic Properties Ltd believe the best designs are the simplest ones when executed well, so this was their starting point; they allowed the focus of the room to be the purpose and function.

The rich colour scheme added depth yet still maintained a level of luxury, through upholstered wall panelling, wallcoverings and deep pile carpets.

SPRING PONDS BY PRESTIGE AUDIO Location: Ongar, Essex Date Completed: August 2019 Interior Designer: Darren Barker Architect: E&M Design Partnership Construction Company: ART Part of an impressive new build property, Prestige Audio was commissioned to create a whole house scheme involving completely integrated and attractively designed AV and home automation experiences. The centre piece of this was to be a world-class home cinema including a stunning and fully stocked bar.

The customer’s original idea for the area was to include lots of white marble, Prestige Audio worked with them to create a darker, moodier space with exciting lighting (including a starlight ceiling), that looks and feels fantastic.

THE VERGE HOUSE BY HILL CONSTRUCTION COMPANY Location: Coronado Island, CA, US Date Completed: Fall 2018 Architect: Crossman Architecture Interior Designer: Estudio Frisch Construction Company: Hill Construction Company This imaginative custom home was conceptualised and built by Hill Construction Company for a professional couple with two children. The inwardly focused design suits the family’s desire for privacy, offering a response to site constraints through architectural expression.

The subdued yet captivating front façade, clad in exquisite Shou Sugi Ban, hides the home’s most significant features from the street. Surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass and Jatoba wood, the first-floor design focuses the eye on created beauty including a suspended hanging wall with a ceramic art installation, a cantilevered staircase, and a custom sculptural children’s play stage which doubles as storage. The living, dining, and kitchen areas subvert traditional distinctions between interior and exterior space through use of retractable glass walls focusing on the courtyard and L-shaped acrylic pool. The “indoor-outdoor confusion” is taken a step further as the second floor’s master suite wraps around a Bamboo tree that extends out of the roof’s oval oculus.

EUPHORIA BY RENEE GADDIS INTERIORS Date Completed: 2020 Interior Designer: Renee Gaddis Interiors Construction Company: CR Smith

HOLLYWOOD BEACH RESIDENCE BY SARAH Z DESIGNS Location: Hollywood Beach, Florida Date Completed: September 2019 Architect: CDG Miami Interior Designer: Sarah Z Designs

Euphoria by Renee Gaddis Interiors is an interior design scheme featuring ceiling details, wall accents, flooring accents and a variety of gorgeous interior items. For Renee Gaddis and her team, it is the fun, eclectic elements with a neutral colour palette that make this unit so uniquely beautiful.

Hollywood Beach Residence by Sarah Z Designs was nothing less than a full gut renovation, tearing down interiors, walls and adding square footage to create an open concept, design and construction with turnkey delivery.

Parquet patterned flooring adorns the main areas with metallic gold and black metal tones, soft and tonal fabrics, and distinctive lighting elements. Each guest bedroom ranges from masculine to coastal blues to delicate and elegant while the master bedroom’s golden ambiance sets itself exclusively apart – not to mention with a beautiful view of lush green and the Gulf of Mexico beyond! Bold accessories and an assortment art complete this space for the ultimate hang out spot. The design of this space features elements from the outside world to the interior. Using natural quartzite and stone accents, help blend elements of exterior with interiors.

Sarah Z Designs created an open concept layout to provide a more inviting environment to make the task of entertaining guests easier. Wall coverings were installed, as well as fabrics and flooring, with tile finishes that mimic sand and water, harnessing natural elements into the home using light, the ocean and other natural materials. Sarah Z Designs opted to bring the ocean feel onto the interior walls and carry it through for a direct connection with raw elements. They also carried the design in the pillow fabric through its soft blues and sand like patterns.

The chandelier in the dinette also mimics the sun and rests above a gold lattice work fruit bowl that resembles sea coral.

HIGHLAND PARK ESTATE

BY SHERRY HAYSLIP INTERIORS Location: Dallas, Texas, USA Date Completed: 2018 Interior Designer: Sherry Hayslip Interiors Architect: David Stocker, SHM Architects Construction/Developer: Steven Hild Sherry Hayslip Interiors’ sophisticated and tenured client purchased the Highland Park 8,156 square foot estate with a blend of dark finishes and masculine materials, featuring quality construction and striking details inside and out. The client loved the home; however, it didn’t feel personal to her.

She tasked Sherry Hayslip Interiors with bringing her dream of a more luxury and feminine design to life.

Hayslip knew just what to do to soften the home yet keep the spirit of the house (built by custom builder Steven Hild with architecture by David Stocker of SHM Architects). She updated all the lighting in the home, switching out every fixture; lightened the white oak plank hardwoods and painted the walls a warmer shade of white. This project was so successful because Sherry Hayslip Interiors knew exactly how to soften the interiors of the home yet keep the spirit of the property alive.

A heavy limestone surround at the front door and a slate roof contribute to the substantial façade. But it is all bright and light at the same time, with the very large steel windows and leafy trees beyond, casting lovely shadows inside on bare white walls.

For the cabinetwork in particular – whether in the kitchen, the bathrooms, or closets – crisp grids of doors, drawers, and cupboards lie flush and seamless, without mouldings or in most cases, even handles. In the master bathroom, three massive, pure shapes each float in their own space: an egg like oval tub posed in front of a window, the large glass box of the shower, and twin, thick, suspended oblong vanities. Every fixture is a sculpture. Even the pool outside, with its zero edge, becomes a sculpted rectangle.

SAN FRANCISCO PENTHOUSE BY ALISON PICKART Location: California, United States of America Date Completed: 2019 Interior Designer: Alison Pickart Architect: Stephen Sutro

WHAT THE FARMHOUSE BY D’AMORE INTERIORS Location: Colorado, USA Date Completed: November 2019 Interior Designer: Gina D’Amore Bauerle Architect: Karen Sund Construction Company: Kirella Homes

A full-floor penthouse in one of the oldest co-op buildings in Pacific Heights was in need of a complete modern uplift. San Francisco Penthouse by Alison Pickart was the successful result. The project included entirely gutting the 7th floor of the building down to the concrete slab.

This custom new build was a blank canvas for D’Amore Interiors, the brief was to design a “Modern Glam Farmhouse”. The homeowners desired a private sanctuary for themselves that would provide all the spaces their lives required, from a cook’s kitchen, his and hers private home offices, and a basement level for their teenage son to inhabit.

The interior design references the clients love of art as every piece placed was customized or designed specifically for them. DeGournay was also installed in the powder room. There are quite a few notable aspects to this project. One of the biggest goals and accomplishments for Alison Pickart and her team was to maximize the view and display the client’s wonderful art collection. Alison states that with projects such as San Francisco Penthouse you really want the result to be a representation of the client. Their design opened the floorplan and the use of a neutral palette allowed for the artwork to shine.

This home sits on a mountainside with nature in view in nearly every space.

D’Amore Interiors used colour to draw, and in some cases, distract from certain elements. Every aspect of this design was a consideration of the architectural presence, landscape, and the family that was building their forever home. Due to the scale of the home, most of the finishes and features had to be equally substantial in size in order to maintain a natural balance. Each room has its own personality, but the design flows and transitions as you continue throughout.

JACKSON SQUARE BY DENIECE DUSCHEONE DESIGN Location: San Francisco, USA Date Completed: 2019 Interior Designer: Deniece Duscheone Charmingly chic and modern with a real rustic feel flowing through each room.

This San Francisco based loft unites a charismatic history with a lively youthful vibe, visible through every design detail by Deniece Duscheone Design.

The 19th Century architecture has been truly enhanced through this design, incorporating an interesting mix of metals, textures and sleek surfaces. The loft has been designed to be clearly confident and uniquely refined whilst keeping in touch with its authentic bones. Deniece Duscheone Design believe the loft caters for a ‘sassy and youthful lifestyle’. The clients stated that “from concept to final design Deniece Duscheone Design and team created a notably luxurious and well-appointed interior”, creating the ideal city living space.

Deniece Duscheone Design like to use specialist artisan skills when possible and this project was no different. The City Space is sleek and modern, with a real rustic feel flowing through each room.

PEACH GARDEN BY EIGHTYTWO Location: Singapore Date completed: June 2019 Interior Designer: Terence Neo As inspired by Wes Anderson’s whimsical colour palettes, Eightytwo aimed to create a sense of cosiness and homeliness in such a big space, as well as a sense of vibrancy without being overwhelming. The open plan aspect allows for a versatile space which can adapt to the needs of the client all year round.

Arches and curves are a consistent design element, together with a contrasting edge band for the cabinetry. Along with the use of different peach tones with complementary grounding colours and shapes on the walls, we managed to add vibrancy without being too overwhelming.

The design works well as the homeowners were able to work the design around their lifestyle and hobbies. The husband loves to cook while the wife enjoys, and the space allowed for both without conflict. They also had space in the balcony for the family to have their meals al fresco.

TIANYU MANSION BY HARMONY WORLD CONSULTANT & DESIGN Location: Shanghai, China Date Completed: October 2019 Interior Designer: Harmony World Consultant & Design London’s unique architectural and cultural heritage were the main inspirations for this project. Harmony World Consultant & Design sought to strike a balance between the unique historical atmosphere and modern-day rapid development to create a new lease of life for this luxury property.

A black top hat remained the key theme for this project, a symbol of taste, etiquette and status in Western culture. A black, white and grey colour scheme, with pops of warmer hues adorns the interiors throughout to establish a transition and connection between the past and the present. The key aspect of this project lies in its design details, a metal chandelier with elliptical and linear elements, geometric carpet designs, stylised bedside table art, black and white decorative paintings; all which aim to create a rich visual effect throughout this home. The designer’s ideas were rooted in the regional culture and history of the aesthetic of modern East London.

PADDINGTON PENTHOUSE

BY HUNT & DESIGN Date Completed: May 2019 Interior Designer: Hunt & Design - Maryann Schmidt Construction Company: Schmidt Construction The brief for this penthouse apartment in Sydney’s inner-city suburb of Paddington was to curate the perfect balance of a modern elegant design with our client’s art and travel collection. Downsizing from a house to an apartment, the client was keen to create a space-efficient home with luxurious details. The brief was to replace the existing 1990s decor with “a sophisticated and timeless” design that would make a statement.

A classic colour palette of black, white, brass and marble for the fixtures is seen throughout and lives gently alongside a deep Australian colour palette in both the furnishings and artwork. Reds, oranges, deep browns are all prevalent and this respectful relationship between the two palettes create an elegant yet deeply unique space. The design respectfully works with the environment from an aesthetic point of view. This home is in a prominent location, so it was important it had a connection to its surroundings.

IMPERIAL PARK BY KRIS LIN INTERNATIONAL Date Completed: September 2019 Interior Designer: Kris Lin, Jiayu Yang Studio Developer: China Merchants Real Estate Holding Co. LTD Construction Company: Shenzhen Merchants Real Estate Co. LTD The biggest changes to the property were made in the main open planned living area.

This features a designed western kitchen breakfast table, forming a symmetrical dimensional feeling with the table. The sitting room and dining-room are in the same space, in the sitting room high-rises are empty to take advantage of the views and the crystal lamp that hangs within the space creates a depth to the space.

The design is unique yet classic and this was achieved by removing the heavy and complicated modelling of traditional style and blend in new subtle elements. The use of various textures and materials help to build the outline for the feel of a classic yet modern design. In order to highlight the views that is the bank of Shenzhen Bay, a large number of floor-to-ceiling windows have been used to make the most of the beautiful river scene in the design scheme.

THE ART HOUSE BY NINA MAYA INTERIORS Location: Sydney Australia Date Completed: December 2019 Architect: Beuan Boss Design Interior Designer: Nina Maya The brief was to transform a generously proportioned but very dated Bellevue Hill mansion into a modern contemporary home fit for the clients growing family. The brandnew residence showcases a masterful collection of rare antiques, modern art, the finest European furniture and local design highlights. NMI searched the globe to find stand out pieces to curate an enviable collection for the clients over a year period whilst the home was being renovated.

Feature items were commissioned such as the brass bespoke sculptural piece that hangs over the stairwell and was handmade in Australia by locally renowned artist Oliver Tanner.

In this project a bespoke brass artist created the wall art in the entry. A master cabinet maker was used to create the custom dining table and dining chairs in the formal dining area and specialist stone mason was used to create the freestanding marble vanity in exotic Norwegian Rose in the guest powder room.

THE GATEHOUSE BY STARK DESIGN Location: Sydney Date completed: Nov 2017 Architect: Debianne Gosper Architects, Indigo and Ochre Architectural Services Interior Designer: Jane Stark Construction Company: AB & P Construction Pty Ltd The design brief was to create a tranquil layered design, enveloped in beauty, inside and outside. The gatehouse exemplifies the slow movement of the interior design.

Our client did not want a design which was done in a year, but rather a home which had evolved subtlety, over time. The designers worked with vintage dealers and artisans, investing in layers of luxe design from Australia, Asia, Africa and Europe. The Gatehouse is a historic Federation period home in Mossman, Sydney with wrap around verandas leading to 3 discrete gardens.

Initially driven by the need to increase the size of the living spaces, a bedroom was removed, and the home opened to the outside.

The project evolved over several years with the client allowing the evolution of ideas and direction. It is also a celebration of eclecticism, the magic of acknowledging the very best of history with the very best of today’s modern accoutrements.

CAROALE BY STEWART + STEWART Location: Sydney Australia Date Completed: December 2019 Interior designer: Stewart + Stewart The design brief to Stewart + Stewart was to create a city residence for a client relocating from a large rural property, to open up the cramped three-bedroom space to create a sanctuary. The key was to accommodate the need for flexible private and communal living, dining and sleeping spaces as required.

Care was taken to incorporate and celebrate the historic and rare cultural significance of the Wharf, an imposing structure housing multiple private residences. It is the largest and most distinguished timber wharf building in Sydney Harbour and reflects, in its form and contents, the history of Woolloomooloo and the principal role of the wool industry in Australia. A team of artists carefully painted and aged the existing iron girders to reflect their original finish of galvanised steel, the same finish used for the Sydney Harbour Bridge. They also hand mixed raw plaster and sieved earth from the owner’s property to finish the wall.

PENTHOUSE APARTMENT, MILLERS POINT, SYDNEY BY STUDIO BARBARA Location: Sydney Australia Date Completed: December 2019 Architect: Studio BARBARA Interior Designer: Studio BARBARA Construction Company: Sandlik Constructions There was considerable reflection upon site and context when starting this project to create a space that is a celebration of the expansive Sydney Harbour landscape while remaining a calm escape. The balance of refuge and prospect and references to the natural and built landscape create a harmonious sense of place. The tonal and textural palette of veneer, natural timber and stone reinforce a sense of grounding and stillness, connecting with the elements of nature. White linen curtains are soft like the clouds, while the interspersed polished surfaces of the furniture/accessories shimmer like the harbour. The curves and softened edges of bulkheads, corners of veneer walls and sculptural couches mimic the fluidity of the harbour. The black steel band and fluted tiles of the kitchen island bench reference the built fabric of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House.

In this project, architecture, interior design and decoration are unified and evolve together.

MODERN DUPLEX IN JAPAN

BY STUDIO COTAN Location: Nagano, Japan Date Completed: May 2020 Architect: Sekisui House, Ltd. Interior Designer: Atsuko Tsukahara Construction Company: Sekisui House, Ltd. The client brief for this project was to design a newly built duplex house located in the cultural area of Nagano city, where the Winter Olympics were held in 1998. The two couples have requested to have their individual units in order to respect each other’s privacy.

The architecture was designed to have the serenity surrounded by nature in contrast with the urban atmosphere in the city. The interior designer maintained the idea of the architecture and integrated the clients’ personality to the design by carefully selecting materials and the beautiful layers of colours.

Studio Cotan aimed to represent the unclear border between the interior and exterior, which was the overall design goal of this project. The designer managed to merge the techniques of traditional Japanese houses and the modern scheme. The spacious entrance hall facing a small garden with glass wall partitions brings the exterior into the interior.

The project is a luxury residence that is designed to be able to fit in within the hectic city of Bangkok.

The project portrays vibrancy vs serenity this is due to it being located right in the centre of the hectic city of Bangkok yet surrounded within a serene neighbourhood.

The design style showcases a timeless, yet modernity feels with flawless exceptional luxury. The residences within this area are a private community fulfilled with exclusive amenities. This concept has been applied throughout the space, lobby and show units.

BALGOWNIE HOUSE BY TRENTINI Date Completed: December 2019 Interior Designer: Kathryn Trenini Developer: Asanti Homes Construction Company: SCG Projects The brief was to make sense of a long and narrow space, to maximise appreciation for the views, to connect the indoors to the outdoors in a more cohesive way and to allow the family to relax in every room in the home. The opportunity for built-in joinery presented itself throughout the home to achieve simplicity and allow ample breathing space. Furniture choices are restrained through selection yet playful in nature to emphasise the energy of the family who lives here. Moments are provided throughout each of the spaces for sitting and reading, contemplation or conversation and was a key highlight of the brief provided by the family.

The entire design was focused on connecting the interior with the exterior.

Given the long and narrow space, the owners had previously faced the sofa and everything else within the rooms away from the exterior.

HUNTERS HILL HOUSE II BY ALEXANDRA KIDD DESIGNS Location: Sydney Australia Date Completed: December 2019 Interior Designer: Alexandra Kidd Hunters Hill House II was a complete inside and out renovation, with every aspect reconsidered to suit the next phase of the clients’ life. Alexandra Kidd Design set out to balance the casual and formal spaces, so every inhabitant had a dedicated space to feel welcome. Architecturally, there were existing grand atriums, skylights and voids – yet the interiors felt dark and closed off. They introduced frameless glass bi-fold doors which instantly modernised the spaces and dramatically improved the quality of light and air.

The curved architectural elements were structural, so by enhancing them, the new custom elements became more harmonious within the existing structure. The designers were conscious of unnecessarily replacing existing elements but rather chose to reimagine or re-finish. Alexandra Kidd Designs worked closely with the clients to understand their personal style and daily rituals, and designed bespoke elements, such as the joinery to showcase their extensive wine collection and a multifunctional entertaining room.

EXQUISITE CLUBHOUSE

The entrance foyer is a grand area within the property that creates a feeling for the rest of the property including the dining area and the entire entertainment space.

The designer added a sense of charm to the rooms by customizing the lighting, wall covering material as well as the furniture, which creates a great overall impression.

A good design is tailored for customers which helps them fulfil their needs. The client of this property loves big and unique chandeliers.

Spread over half an acre of prime land at Hyderabad’s posh jubilee hills, this 28,000 square foot home for an affluent Indian business family showcases the latest technological and opulence that is achievable today. The brief given was to develop a grand layout with key features present in India’s pricey mansions of yore.

The bi-axial layout for the building, the primary axis from the main entrance to the stairwell and the perpendicular corridor axis running through the length of the building help to add to the grand feel that the property creates.

The purpose of the property was to create a grandiose design with a free-flowing layout which was achieved through the use of luxurious fixtures, fittings and features. The bespoke personalisation of each room is what sets the property apart because each room has been carefully thought out and designed in order to suit the clients’ needs.

AQUARIOUS MEWS BY CURATED HOME BY CHRISSY & CO Date Completed: February 2020 Interior Designer: : Chrissy Cottrell Construction Company: Future Living Aquarious Mews offers a piece of European charm, tucked away in the Vancouver sky.

The renovation and re-design that Curated Home by Chrissy & Co has implemented gave this dated city apartment a new lease on life with a modern and playful look.

Styled with the intention of going against what is to be expected of other properties in this area, Curated Home by Chrissy & Co wanted to create a vibrant and textured space. With hand carved craftsmanship from Parisian influenced pieces, blended with more contemporary silhouettes, this space echoes a spirit of ageless and vibrant diversity.

OCEAN MOUNT BY EMERGE DESIGN Date completed: October 2018 Architect: Sandrin Leung Interior Design: Gwyntie van Tuyl Construction Company: Ken Blosser Inspired by the homeowner’s treasure trove of beautiful things, Ocean Mount by Emerge Design is a decidedly electric take on ornate, mid-century French provincial interior design. This project had a very specific direction from the client, who had a deeply comprehensive vision for her home, and needed a design firm that could work intimately with her to realise that style.

Emerge Design’s client requested that purple—her favourite colour—be featured throughout. In addition, a set of precious stones in gold, opal, amethyst, emerald, and turquoise were shared as inspiration for the colour palette. This directive assisted in bringing the required intensity and drama to a style that is traditionally more muted.

The homeowner also requested a secondary theme of exotic animals, resulting in delightful details such as gilded lion head kitchen pulls and peek-a-boo monkey wallpaper. A mix of lavish textures and flowing motifs further punctuate the home’s charisma.

KLEINBURG CROWN BY KELLY HARVEY LIVING Architect: Cassidy and Company Interior Designer: Kelly Harvey Living Construction Company/Developer: SkyHomes With fresh white walls, architectural wall panels with inset mirrors, a modern fireplace and sleek finishes for a level of sophistication not yet seen in the area; Kelly Harvey Living has designed this 4-floor home around a timeless approach to interiors. Looking to show the upscale town of Kleinburg that city style could work in a 6,400 square foot suburban mansion, the developer sought out Kelly Harvey Living to design their model home.

Using neutral tones was a reliable way of Kelly Harvey Living to ensure that the style would suit all potential buyers, and the custom items throughout the house are inspiring. The style is polite, not overbearing and therefore makes it visually appealing to the masses. To appeal to all tastes, neutral colours were used to combine beauty and simplicity with comfort to reflect the polite and neutral culture of Canada, which makes their design style very pleasing.

CALCUTTA BY KYLE & CO. DESIGN STUDIO Date Completed: November 2019 Architect: Design Two Group Interior Designer: Kyle & Co. Design Studio The design of Kyle & Co. Design Studio’s Calcutta project works so well because of the continuous flow from space to space, and the close attention that the designers paid to keeping the palette consistent.

A dark palette fills a very contemporary space with character and comfort, and rich materials are showcased to add texture and movement to the space. In utilising materials that exhibited depth, it helped to create a warm and comfortable environment despite being a sleek and modern property. Raw materials take centre stage in this home, and custom pieces for the metal features and master bedroom make this a unique home design.

The overall palette consisted of warm brasses, olive greens, marble textures, burnished brass, crushed royal blue velvets, and stark contrasts between black and white. Kyle & Co. Design Studio felt this design palette represented rich, bold and timeless material for a lasting design.

R006 BY ASHLEY BOTTEN DESIGN INC Date Completed: July 2019 Interior Designer: Ashley Botten Design Inc Construction Company: Eisner Murray The interior architectural intention of r006 was for Ashley Botten Design Inc to refine, without interrupting, the existing architectural elements. This had to be done alongside the modernisation of the property - cohesively adding updated functionality to the operational side of the project and including design elements that marry contemporary style with authentic architectural elements.

For this project Ashley Botten Design Inc had to consider the balance of the original features and the necessities of modern life.

The key aspect was for the designers to learn the history of the home and to allow space for the beautiful details and scale of the old and refine these by adding the new. Embracing these existing features and using contemporary design to amplify their effect results in a timeless and unique space. The design integrates into itself and works so well for the property because it is authentic, rather than ‘of the moment’.

ColeDesign Studio has transformed the Krever Kaplan Condo into an art lover’s idyll, showcasing custom fixtures and a curated art collection, unified in a contemporary yet practical space. Functionality has been considered in order to allow the condo to entertain large numbers in the dining area, and the available space and light had been maximised for natural comfort.

ColeDesign distinguished boundaries which divide each individual area using subtle colour and texture changes, yet the large glass sliding doors allow the space to be kept open if desired. The kitchen/dining area is the heart of this inner-city condo and so must function as a space to entertain guests though also must be suitable for the space given. ColeDesign Studio embraced the need to take advantage of the available space with the dining table.

AMAGATALL BY MURRON INTERIOR DESIGN Location: Mallorca, Spain Interior Designer: MURRON Interior Design Architect: Peter Mesecke Construction Company: Construccions Melia The brief was for a building plot in the Mallorcan countryside, if possible, in absolute solitude, to build a new fourbedroom hideaway that combined family spaces, the client’s passion for cooking and the love of the sea. An outdoor pool and casita as well as internal fireplace were absolutely essential. Amagatall’s highlight is the bespoke and professional stainlesssteel kitchen, with its rustic sandstone feature wall which contracts with the Swarovski chandelier above the dining table.

Fresh, light and modern were the three keys themes for this project. As building regulations in the Mallorcan countryside are very strict, it was a challenge to follow these regulations as well as to stretch them.

To create a cool, comfortable space, Murron Interior Design used white concrete floors, white lime plaster walls and large windows to contrast the warm Mediterranean climate. Turquoise, green and azure blue furnishings bring the oceanside in.

From the start it was decided to play on the dualism between pre-existing liberty style of the facades and a contemporary and contrasting taste in the interiors, maintaining as a common thread the choice of materials, which would dialogue with the lake environment, so that the colours of the exterior and of the interior communicating with each other. On the façade, the openings in the loggia on the ground floor and the corresponding openings on the first floor have been modified, the windows have been doubled to bring more light and a view.

MONACO RESIDENCE BY SANDRA HINTON

BECKTON PARKSIDE BY VESTA

Date Completed: 2017 Interior Designer: Sandra Hinton

Date Completed: January 2020 Interior Designer: Vesta Developer: Bellway

Monaco Residence by Sandra Hinton Design Studio is a 200m2 apartment within a Monaco high-rise building, holding prime position upon the French Riviera as it overlooks the harbour and the palace. The project was underpinned by compromise, as the client brief required the need to appease two contrasting tastes. The wife has a more modern taste and the husband a more classical one. She has an impressive art collection, and he has been handed down some antiques from his family.

Monaco Residence not only acts as an interior design scheme synonymous with its idyllic and luxurious surroundings, it further serves as a metaphor for compromise.

It represents how no two people are the same and how often two people can have very different tastes. But given some thought, hard work and truly listening to what each wants but also the willingness to compromise, things can amalgamate harmoniously in the same space.

VESTA were required to create a show home inspired by the Beverly Hills Hotel in a development of new homes in Beckton.

It was important to develop an inspiring interior that would add excitement to an area without many signature sights. From VESTA’s research into Beverly Hills Hotel, interiors were to incorporate Hollywood elegance, glamour, luxury and a sense of escapism.

The designers believe that Beverly Hills itself is a place where retro meets contemporary, a pink lovers heaven and a place where people dare to be different, they knew they had to create the ‘wow factor’ and take this show apartment to the next level whilst also creating something liveable. Every space has been styled to consider a young couple or city worker - cocktail books, glasses and alcohol on the sideboard, and fashionable botanicals feature heavily within the living area.

VICTORIAN RESIDENCE BY ASH WILSON DESIGN Location: Dublin, Ireland Date completed: August 2019 Architects: Ash Wilson Design Interior Design: Ash Wilson Design Construction Company: Edge Design and Construction Reconfigure, redefine and fuse were the cornerstones of the design brief. For Ash Wilson Design, functionality was the key starting point for the project, and understanding the needs of the family navigated the new design, warranting structural changes and new layouts.

The house naturally has an abundance of historic charm, with many existing features still intact. The design aesthetic is brought together from an amalgamation of the client’s needs; to have a house that works, a house that accommodates for each person that lives there, and a design which balances the family’s tastes. The eclectic style of the home was carefully carried throughout each room, with a colour pallet that offers a nod to the historic colour palettes with dark blues and greens contrasted with a section of mid-century antique furniture.

Ash Wilson Design kept the design simple, with everything having its own space and function.

INTERIOR DESIGNER APARTMENT BY WE.MAKE Location: Wroclaw Date Completed: March 2020 Interior Designer: we.make This small apartment was designed by Aleksandra Hobler (head of design at we.make) for her family. It is not kept in any particular style - it is a mix of recent inspirations that have influenced the we.make team. After several years of experience designing the interiors of flats and apartments for their clients, they had a lot of ideas and inspirations with many thoughts and experiences.

While looking for inspiration, they did not fully know what to expect from their apartment, but they knew one thing - they wanted the studio to be more atmospheric, darker, and bold. The apartment they bought was an ideal opportunity for this because it is very well lit, so there was no fear that it would be too dark. For the colour palette, they chose several shades of grey, black, and deep navy blue. Lush vegetation with a beautiful, deep green colour also plays an important role.

PRIVATE RESIDENCE DUBLIN, IRELAND BY STUDIO 44 Location: Dublin, Ireland Date Completed: 2019 Developer: Private Client Interior Designer: Studio 44 Design Construction Company: Dh Kidd The brief was to design the interior of the house transitioning from an executive’s residence into a practical yet modern family home. Studio 44 completely refurbished this Dublin four-story townhouse for family use complete with FF&E. The holistic design aesthetic that Studio 44 created for the house transcends through the residence, flowing from one floor to the next; not only providing uniformity with the design intent but ensuring functionality in a calm, and tranquil environment. Carefully considered furniture pieces and statement lighting fixtures were sourced to add interest and vitality to the various interiors. Bespoke joinery was designed and manufactured for practical storage, visual impact, and to create individual spaces reflecting the tastes of the children. The furniture was chosen for both its provenance and durability to suit the needs of a family home, though the soft furnishings were selected based on origin and quality to prioritise luxury.

ICON SIGNATURE RESIDENCE BY AALTO EXCLUSIVE DESIGN Location: Marbella, Spain Date Completed: June 2020 Architect: Hugo Torrico Interior Designer: Jana Novakova Developer: Urbania Construction Company: Urbania This stunning contemporary residence is situated on the golf course and provides beautiful sea views. Aalto Exclusive Design worked to incorporate these views by blending them within the interiors of the large open social spaces. The overarching design for this project was to create a harmonious and natural scheme that welcomed inspirations from the surrounding nature in its tones and textures, though it also had to remain a design that was personal to the homeowners, meaning that each room provides a slight contrast to the one before.

The architecture of the house was completely adapted thanks to Aalto Exclusive Design’s bespoke carpentry, using LED lighting effects and soft colours to add cosiness. With this independent carpentry production, Aalto Exclusive Design were able to fabricate unique furniture pieces in artisan ways (panelling, TV panels, suspended night side tables etc.), allowing them to offer premium quality and original design solutions to their clients.

CHALET IN SIBERIA BY ABARCHITECTS Date Completed: August 2019 Interior Designer: AB-architects This cosy, modern villa is located on the edge of the Altai mountain peaks in Russia.

The cold, crisp Siberian climate has influenced the colour scheme, with the interiors being decorated in calm, grey tones. AB-architects have played with an interesting juxtaposition of textures, cold and warm materials, wood and concrete, stone and metal. Light coloured accents in the furniture and décor accessories have been added to the interior, through pastel pinks, turquoise and malachite.

The villa consists of a living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, boiler room and three bedrooms. There is also a billiard room and a sauna. The utility block is located in a separate house for staff, which also contains a cellar for storing wine and food, as well as garages for cars.

ACACIA AVENUES VILLA BY RUMAH INTERIORS

KENNEDY RESIDENCE BY GUILLAUME ALAN

Location: Dubai, UAE Date Completed: November 2019 Interior Designer: Rumah Interiors Construction Company: Noaf Interiors LLC

Location: Paris Date Completed: 2018 Interior Designer: Guillaume Alan

A home designed for modern, suburban living; this villa was designed for an expatriate family of 5 in the heart of Dubai.

The overriding brief that was given to Rumah Interiors was to breathe life into a building which had been empty and neglected for several years by the Master Developer, before the owner purchased it with a vision and determination to make this his future family home.

The home underwent a total renovation, making it almost unrecognisable to what Rumah Interiors faced on their first site visit. The designers started by establishing the base material palette, which consisted of a limited set of standards finished that appear in every space. From the natural oak used in the joinery and wood flooring, matt black metal accents, grey concrete floor and wall features in various forms, and a beautiful vein cut silver travertine cladding that punctured through all four levels around the lift shaft.

Perched in a magnificent 19th century edifice, with views of the Seine and the Eiffel tower, this residence was the perfect setting for Guillaume Alan to achieve a home with a striking interior and a masterclass in aesthetic restraint. In harmony with the finest tradition of ‘decorateurs ensembliers’, by apprehending projects as a whole, architecture, interior design and furniture have been thought and drawn out by the same hand.

Combining minimalism with classicism and with historical references, as the Orangery in Versailles, Alan created a series of highceiling arches in a natural beautiful stone colour with recessed mirrors in the entrance hall. The shape of the large window in the living was inspired by an old door Alan saw in Oxford, England and the lighting is inspired by Georgian design. Obsessed with precision, in this spacious home, all the rooms are linked by materials and palette.

HAMPTON 899 BY ANCERL STUDIO Location: Ontario, Canada Date Completed: December 2019 Developer: Ancerl Studio Architect: Ancerl Studio Interior Designer: Ancerl Studio Construction Company: Quantum Spec Project Management With a facade featuring a contemporary, brown-toned brick, Corten steel accents and expansive walls of windows, Hampton 899 is full of the unexpected. The front facade of this home beautifully blends into the style of the neighbourhood, though the modern cubes of glass and Corten steel on the sides and back of the home creates a surprising element and an insight into the modern spin.

Ancerl Studio’s unobtrusive design elements run throughout the home, while still offering a sophisticated foundation. The oversized and dramatic bespoke light fixtures are jaw dropping in appearance, and though large in scale, remain light and airy, keeping the space as a whole feeling open and calm. A dramatic stone accent in the kitchen offers a wow factor though remaining in touch with the minimal colour scheme, and space is once again maximised as function rules with a generous hidden pantry off the main kitchen.

MAISON DE RENOUVEAU

BY HARMONY WORLD CONSULTANT & DESIGN Location: Hangzhou, China Date Completed: October 2019 The decorative paintings in this project have a unique style, drawing on the still-life paintings of Mr. Chang Yu, a contemporary painter. Chang Yu was one of the first Chinese painters to gain prominence in Europe, and studied art together with Xu Beihong, Lin Fengmian and other masters in Paris. Like the soft Oriental temperament of Hangzhou, the art combines the Oriental charm with the western brushwork. This concept was incorporated into the brief for the interior design of this property.

The elegant grey and warm white colour scheme interweaves throughout the master bedroom and the main living areas, the balance of art that assimilates perfectly with the space creates a luxurious atmosphere. The designers absorb the essence of western art from an independent perspective and carry the blood of Chinese culture, like Hangzhou, a city where classical and modern themes are integrated.

35 HUDSON YARDS BY INGRAO INC. Location: Hudson Yards, New York City Date Completed: March 2019 Architect: SOM Interior Designer: Ingrao Inc. Developer: Related Group For the model apartment, Ingrao inc. felt it was best to keep things neutral and add interest through texture. They did not want the palette to be too cold, so everything has a slightly warm tint and part of the experience being in a Hudson Yards 35 apartment is not to interfere with the extraordinary views.

The design of the 35 Hudson Yards kitchens takes inspiration from the concept of nature and lightness. This translated into every aspect of the design using unique materials such as exquisite Eucalyptus cabinets and Opal Ice stone countertops.

The bronze trim details echo the materials used on the exterior facade of the building further elevating the kitchen experience into a calm and contemporary space for the residence. The surprise result, common areas and stylish, lavish model units that look like people live in. The common design scheme throughout the building commands attention in an understated way.

MALANGEN BY SNORRE STINESSEN ARCHITECTURE Location: Norway Date Completed: September 2017 Interior Designer: Snorre Stinessen Architecture Malangen is a residential retreat designed with a focus on creating a close connection between the surrounding landscape and a homely space for family and friends. The Interior Design Scheme flows throughout the property, mirroring the natural beauty of Norway which is just outside the window.

The conceptual layout provides both privacy and room for several activities at the same time for all the family to enjoy. It also reduces the energy needed for heating the space in the cold climate, as various rooms and activities will require different temperatures, keeping the environment in mind throughout the design process. The project relates to the landscape, both as a building but also as interior. Sitting low to the ground in the living room and enjoying the afternoon sun over the fiord to the West or entering the hall with the children peering down from their loft space.

LESMURDIE RESIDENCE BY MODA INTERIORS Location: Lesmurdie, Perth, Western Australia Date Completed: November 2019 Architect: Laurie D’Alessio Interior Designer: Kate Barakovska + Samantha Simpson – Moda Interiors Construction Company: Westdale Constructions The design brief was to create a contemporary, warm and inviting home that would fit perfectly into the landscape and maximise the views over the Perth hills. This was achieved through the use of natural finishes and a warm colour palette both internally and externally, allowing the exterior to feel as though it flowed into the interior.

The design works so well as it has been perfectly tailored to suit the client’s needs while complementing the natural environment it sits in. The design integrates into the wider environment as it has been designed to perfectly fit it into the unique landscape that it sits in. The extensive use of the natural stone Travertine flooring throughout the home required specialist masonry skills while the rug in the main living room was hand knotted in Persian knotting and resulted in art on the floor to create a striking feature to the interior.

GILDED NOIR BY RENEE GADDIS Date Completed: 2020 Interior Designer: Renee Gaddis Architect: Stofft Cooney Construction Company: BCB Homes Gilded Noir by Renee Gaddis Interiors is a model home that was also a new build.

Indeed, the home was custom designed from beginning to end. There was a budget in mind by the investor, but of course this in no way impinged on what is a gorgeously executed project.

This spec home is expansive, open and all things modern. Grey velvets, textured fabrics, brass metals, and warm wood tones greet you as you enter the main area of this home. Plush seating, visually appealing lighting elements and a LED fireplace complete the living, family and kitchen areas. Fun accessories add character throughout the master and guest bedrooms making the space cosy and complete. All bathrooms feature beautiful flooring and shower tiles with custom cabinetry. The mixture of metals featured within each area of Gilded Noir served to be a favourite aspect of the project for Renee Gaddis and her team.

The designer’s favourite aspect of the design is that it has a European character while also expressing a refined Australian aesthetic. The European touches are felt in the flow of the spaces and seen in the eclectic mix of European furniture and objects while the contemporary Australian aesthetic is evident in the choice of the materials and finishes, which draw their tones and textures from the unique built and natural landscape of Sydney Harbour. In this the project is very unique and expresses the personalities of the clients who enjoy traveling to and experiencing European art, architecture & interiors while they also appreciate and celebrate the uniqueness and beauty of Australia.

AMMAN VILLA BY TOLLGARD DESIGN GROUP Location: Amman, Jordan Date Completed: 2019 Interior Designer: Staffan Tollgard, Tollgard Design Group Architect: Raed Abillama Construction Company: Al Tabbaa Photographer: Richard Gooding Photography Amman Villa tells the story of vibrant family life designed into a contemporary monolith: a minimal stone masterpiece in a Jordanian cityscape.

The material palette for the interiors became a red thread to bind these juxtaposed elements of public and private life and to ground the design. The house is literally setin stone: Jordanian limestone and Omani marble run through the 4-storey building, the metal and stone-clad staircase a vertical binding line to connect the volumes.

Natural wood and metal accents intersect in considered geometric intervals.

Just as the material palette speaks with one voice, so too does the joinery, furniture and fabric design that adds softness and interest through texture. The guiding principle was a minimal, neutral and natural red thread that allowed the voice of the architecture and the art to resonate clearly through the four floors of the building.

BARON COTTAGE BY TRENTINI Location: Australia Date Completed: December 2019 Interior Designer: Kathryn Trentini A 1960’s family home situated in the leafy suburb of Mawson, the Baron Cottage brief was to completely modernise the interior, maximise the existing footprint, improve storage and accommodate for modern family life.

Building within the existing footprint, the Baron Cottage underwent a complete reconfiguration of bathrooms, laundry, kitchen and living areas to open up the interior and allow natural light to flood every space. Improved connection from indoors to outdoors provided opportunities to expand the living space available to the owners.

Material selection was critical to enhance the natural light and provide visual warmth in a cold climate area. The restrained and muted palette enhances the clients’ desire for a harmonious and family friendly home and allows breathing space for the threesided fireplace to sit comfortably in its environment. The entire design was focused on connecting key living areas to provide a better flow through the home and to the exterior living spaces.

18TH CENTURY BARN BY STURMAN & CO. Date Completed: September 2019 Interior Designer: Bess Sturman – Sturman & Co. Developer: Buildcraft Ltd An 18th Century Barn Conversion set within a beautiful countryside setting requiring extensive modernisation throughout.

The clients had dreamed about living at a property like this for many years before getting a rare chance to buy this 18th century barn in 2018. Having been converted for occasional use in the early noughties, the building had thankfully retained an abundance of period features and character, which were to be enhanced as part of the client brief. The layout of the barn meant that the clients weren’t using the space available to its full potential.

The barn is set in rural Yorkshire, surrounded by fields and traditional drystone walls. The use of natural materials as well as strong earthy tones for fabrics and finishes ensures that the design sits well with the wider environment. Sturman & Co. have brought the outside in, with a cosy, comforting feel throughout.

YORKSHIRE EDWARDIAN REFURB BY AMC DESIGN Location: Ilkley, West Yorkshire Date Completed: August 2019 Interior Designer: AMC Design This five-bedroom, two reception room, Edwardian home was set in beautiful mature gardens on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales but had not been touched in over 40 years.

The brief was to create a sociable, family home for the clients and their teenage children, which respected the house’s character, while making it suitable for 21st century family life.

The basement was tanked, and new windows and bi fold doors installed to make the home cinema, bar, shower room and changing room for the pool outside. The low ceiling height in the basement could not be altered, so became a virtue by creating a cosy cinema for family movie nights and the adjoining bar. The family loves to host parties so a bar was always central to the brief. Antiqued mirror behind the bespoke brass glass storage unit ensured that light was bounced around, while creating an inviting space to socialise.

LUXURIOUS EXECUTIVE HOME RENOVATION BY DEBORAH LAW INTERIORS Location: UK Interior Designer: Deborah Law Interiors The brief for Deborah Law Interiors was to create a luxurious home which enabled the clients to feel more connected to their love of Africa and its wilderness. The traditional neutral palate of the African style was delivered via a great mix of textures, traditional and handmade pieces shipped from Africa itself, with more modern and individually designed pieces of furniture, from which the designers created many of them.

Working with the style and shape of the property itself, Deborah Law Interiors created interior architecture choices that set the perfect palate from which to build on.

Maximizing natural light, locating mirrors where light needed reflecting. Furniture was mostly designed in-house to bring individuality and uniqueness with a variety of materials that were synonymous with Africa. Design touches that met the brief more fully and proportions that enabled every inch of the property to look ‘right’. The designer’s favourite piece being the hallway cupboard.

EDGEWOOD BY ELLE DESIGNS LTD Location: Cheshire Date Completed: April 2019 Interior Designer: Elle Designs Ltd Architect: Abode Architecture Developer: Edge Projects Ltd Construction Company: Edge Projects Ltd Elle Designs Ltd were enlisted for the interior design of a new build neo-Georgian style residence of around 20,000 square feet. The property replaced a dilapidated cottage and is part of a larger development adjacent to open countryside. The style gives it an air of ‘country house’ sitting proudly within walled gardens and an open southerly aspect which has added further grandeur to an already exclusive part of Cheshire.

Elle Design Ltd feel that the brief has been encapsulated exceptionally well and the flow of the property is what makes it so special. There is a totality to it but within that, there are easily identifiable individual spaces distinct from each other. The entire house flows seamlessly as a consequence of working alongside the architect from the outset. This allowed Elle Design Ltd to implement their vision, moving walls, widening and heightening doors and at all times acknowledging the clients’ wishes for scale.

THE GHOST KITCHEN BY D-COR Date Completed: January 2020 Interior Designer: : D-Cor Construction Company: Trelco D-Cor’s thought behind The Ghost Kitchen was to break the traditional codes of a kitchen, going so far as to erase them.

Everything is hidden and in its own location such as the breakfast area as well as the dining area which allows fluidity of movement. The ghost kitchen: an entity of its own with its immaculate white, gives the home its soul.

Removing its DNA, concealing every aspect that reminds you of its functionality, and preferring to set a space that is pure, and slick was D-Cor’s motivation behind this boundary breaking design. The customer wanted the location of the kitchen to maximise the available space without damaging the brightness, by including a staircase and a wine cellar was one of the many challenges. The designers turned a half-bath into a perfect dining area and imagined a layout that provides impressive views of Mont St-Hilaire, and of the beauty of the place.

THE COTES MILL HABERDASHERY BY DEVOL KITCHENS Location: Loughborough, United Kingdom Date Completed: June 2019 Interior Designer: Helen Parker Kitchen Furniture: deVOL Kitchens Inspired by mid-century interiors and haberdashery shops, the Cotes Mill Haberdashery Kitchen is the most atmospheric and nostalgic kitchen ever.

It’s moody and atmospheric and the perfect combination of traditional yet unexpected.

The glazed wall of doors and windows fitted with heritage glass is a window into another era where everything is beautifully organised, yet gloriously simple. The use of limewash paint and embossed wallpaper has given the room a character that can’t be created by a simple paint finish, it has so much more texture and personality.

The two runs of furniture are reminiscent of a shopkeeper’s domain, the back run with all the necessary cupboards for getting down to business. In front, an elegant and slender island where the shopkeeper will turn his attention to his customers and friends. This type of layout is one of deVOL Kitchens’ favourites, especially in a long room with the luxury of space.

THE VICTORIAN RECTORY KITCHEN BY DEVOL KITCHENS Location: Hampshire, United Kingdom Date Completed: April 2019 Kitchen Designer: Paul Endacott, Designer at deVOL Kitchens Kitchen Furniture: deVOL Kitchens This kitchen is full of character and charm, it’s the perfect representation of deVOL Kitchens’ Classic English range of furniture.

A kitchen with everything, this room is so full of soul, it has truly epitomised and cleverly shown us all what a piece of deVOL Classic English furniture is all about.

Each piece of cabinetry is made to required and recommended dimensions and can be painted in any shade the customer wishes.

It was the perfect choice for this beautiful old rectory, the range is beautifully crafted and built to last a lifetime. For the colour, the owners went with Pantry Blue, a dark rich shade from the Shaker collection.

Everything about this space is spot on and just what the owners wanted. It’s classic and feels totally authentic and yet a little bold and striking too, it’s the perfect combination of traditional and unexpected.

BAYSIDE BY GERI DESIGNS Location: Ireland Interior Designer: Geri Designs The design brief for this beachside home was a clean and contemporary kitchen, that was also liveable for family life. Wanting a seaside family home, the clients asked Geri Designs to deliver a kitchen space that functioned as a social area, but also set a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

In creating the clean design, Geri Designs chose a paired back, neutral colour scheme, and incorporated clean lines which also draw attention to the space that the kitchen has to offer. The designers achieved a calming effect with a range of textures, tones and materials, whilst also considering the functionality of the kitchen as a social space.

Geri Designs wanted to keep a neutral and light feel to the space. To do this, they chose neutral greys and whites for the cabinetry and furnishings. The poured concrete floor created a foundation to the colour scheme and blended quietly into the background of the design.

PADDINGTON PENTHOUSE

BY HUNT & DESIGN Location: Australia Date Completed: May 2019 Interior Designer: Hunt & Design - Maryann Schmidt Construction Company: Schmidt Construction The owner of this penthouse apartment in Sydney’s inner-city suburb of Paddington aimed to curate the perfect balance of a modern elegant design with their extensive art and travel collection.

The kitchen needed to be open plan including a butler’s pantry and a layout that lent itself to both entertaining friends and intimate meals with family. The brief also required a larger living area, so a portion of the balcony was enclosed to create a casual lounge room which seamlessly works within the open plan environment.

This was decorated with deep reds and rustic Moroccan furnishings which link to the clients’ travel artefacts. A classic colour palette of black, white, brass and marble for the fixtures is seen throughout and lives gently alongside a deep Australian colour palette in both the furnishings and artwork. Reds, oranges, deep browns are all prevalent and this respectful relationship between the palettes create an elegant and unique space.

URBAN LOFT KITCHEN

BY INTERIOR CONCEPT STUDIO Location: Canada Date Completed: Spring 2018 Interior Designer: Interior Concept Studio Construction Company: M2 construction Urban Loft Kitchen has been designed by Interior Concept Studio as a modern space for social hosting. The home is based in the centre of a residential subdivision, and so the owners wanted their kitchen to stand out as able to host great events with neighbours and friends. Interior Concept Studio were tasked with a complete kitchen and living area renovation to suit the owner’s social events by updating the area with a contemporary approach without retracting from its functionality.

The clean lines and natural materials manifest a simple elegance within the design scheme. With the clients focus on functionality in mind, Interior Concept Studio equipped the kitchen with a large walk-in pantry hidden between 2 white panel doors, so that they can store their small appliances when the room is used for entertaining; allowing for the space to remain uncluttered. The design is purpose built for hosting, and having their guests feel welcome.

KILCRONEY CONTEMPORARY BY JONATHAN WILLIAMS LUXURY KITCHENS & BESPOKE FURNITURE Location: Co, Wicklow, Republic of Ireland Date Completed: July 2019 Jonathan Williams were enlisted to complete this project, to provide the homeowners with a contemporary flair to contrast the home’s exterior. Designers William Healy and Jonathan Martin felt that using joinery techniques specific to Jonathan Williams, such as truly bespoke cabinetry, completed with fully solid materials, they could provide the homeowners the exact look and feel that this home needed to contrast with its surroundings.

The design is taken from the Jonathan Williams ‘Contemporary’ collection and features a custom pantry, solid dovetail walnut drawers and interiors. The Kitchen is fully solid and genuinely hand painted in Farrow & Ball ‘Off Black’ for a true matte finish. The kitchen is also fitted with a stunning AGA and capped with Corian worktop to complete this stunning modern Kitchen. The straight edges of the project give this kitchen a flow that really sums up the beauty of a modern kitchen.

GROVE PARK BY LUISA BARNES INTERIOR DESIGN Location: Chiswick, London Date Completed: April 2019 Interior Designer: Luisa Barnes Interior Design Associated: Kitchen Architecture Construction Company: Jay Dee Electrical, SV Plumbing Ltd The kitchen in this Edwardian family home, in West London, was extended and designed 17 years ago, since then the family’s needs have changed. The brief for Luisa Barnes Interior Design was to create a kitchen with a much smarter, sleeker and contemporary feel whilst retaining its functionality.

The client wanted to maximise the use of the natural light through the Velux windows, so Luisa Barnes Interior Design replaced the high-level units with a shelf that adds interest by displaying art and key objects.

Luisa Barnes Interior Design’s favourite aspect of the project is the island in wrap around Neolith Estatuario stone. It gives the room a real wow factor and is a fabulous focal point. It has a very contemporary feel and is great for entertaining and informal dining. The LED lights installed under the island and the Tala pendant lights over the island transform the feel of the kitchen in the evening.

Nostalgic in its emotive form yet modern in its programming and flow, Sorauren 116 warms the hearts of neighbours, passers-by and guests alike.

The interior design works so well as to maximise the limited space available, working with grand openings, and creating awe-inspiring moments. Ancerl Studio took on the project with a cohesive, sincere design approach used throughout the home, with every design element considering its surroundings, both in the home and out. Nestled in Toronto’s soughtafter Parkdale neighbourhood, Sorauren 116 merges Canadian heritage with touches of industrialism in a relevant statement of modernity.

WALES BY ARTHOUSE CREATIVE INTERIORS Location: Wales Date Completed: 2019 Set within the Welsh countryside, this grand contemporary house required a kitchen to complement the client’s style and architectural features of the property.

The clients wanted to remove some internal walls and turn three rooms into one large kitchen/dining/living space to create a bright open plan living space internally with internal windows that looked onto the indoor pool area but also to maximise on the views.

The designers enjoyed working on this luxurious project as this design epitomises the timelessly elegant BeauxArts concept that SieMatic offers with segmented design elements that harmonises with the choice of materials and finishes. To work on such a grand contemporary project with clients who had a fine eye for detail was inspiring for the designers. For ArtHouse Creative Interiors it was key to design this open plan living space to not only harmonise with the rest of the house but to be sympathetic to the architecture.

THE ALCHEMIST BY CLOISTERS DESIGN Location: Hertfordshire, United Kingdom Date Completed: 2019 Kitchen Design: Cloisters Design The client wanted a large open plan living, dining & kitchen area. The only primary demand was for a large island with the initial brief being far from detailed. Instead, they trusted Cloisters Design experience and expertise to guide them through a process they had never done before. The brief changed and grew the more they learned about what was possible!

White and grey furniture, although popular, has the danger of being bland. But with the concrete cabinet interiors, tinted mirrors, silver furnishings, glass pendants and a grand bespoke dining table – it very subtly creates an elegant atmosphere.

All cabinetries were made bespoke and built by hand over in Cloister Design’s local workshop. To the trained eye there are also lots of hidden details that required specialist craftsmanship such as the three hide and slide door systems and the furniture arrangement under the Bora hob.

ALDERLEY EDGE – BIRCH

BY ARTHOUSE CREATIVE INTERIORS Location: Cheshire, United Kingdom Date Completed: 2019 Architect: Space Architecture & Planning Construction Company: Broadhurst The full renovation was to create an open plan living space with harmonious interiors that worked for the whole family. The brief from the client needed to ensure that the kitchen design synchronized well with the modern architecture of their newly refurbished home. Large windows at the front of the house welcome you into the open plan living space of the kitchen, dining and lounge areas. The kitchen area needed to be family friendly, that balanced well with her soft furnishings, ArtHouse Creative Interiors wanted the design to have an elegant yet classical feel.

During the design process ArtHouse Creative Interiors was concerned that the main back wall may look too heavy filled with cabinetry. So, the designer came up with an idea in which they could incorporate two long slim windows either side of the sink run. This was greatly received as it broke up the expanse and created zones for ‘Refrigeration - wet area sink/ dishwashers – larders and cooking area however this introduced a new challenge as there were no tolerances along the back wall. I brought in more light relief by installing a grey mirror behind the sink with open shelving above and I also incorporated a mirror TV which is viewed when sitting at the breakfast bar.

LA MARQUISE BY D-COR Location: St-Sauveur Date Completed: April 2020 Interior Designer: D-Cor Construction Company: Marcil Construction Combining modernity with the classic side of the house to balance two contrasting tastes of the homeowners. D-Cor’s design for this kitchen blends the space into its environment by showing respect to the classic character of the property, while giving it a chic and refined touch. The steel and the rough wood keep the soul of the house intact while the modern look and careful planning gives it is mind blowing visual.

How to satisfy one´s desire without compromising the other’s wishes. How to combine the wants of both; balance the elegant English style and the brutalism.

Here D-Cor presents: LA MARQUISE. A kitchen with an exceptional fenestration and full functionality that is expressly designed for the clients’ needs. Nothing has been overlooked by D-Cor to create the perfect marriage of modern details and classic elements. For him - a straight lined wine cellar made of Corten steel and raw wood. For her - a chrome and black walnut hutch to place her porcelain tableware.

Everything satisfies the both of them.

The hidden children room at the back of the kitchen which blends completely into the lines of the kitchen allows purity and practicality to be combined. The blend of the impossible styles of raw materials such as rough wood and rusty steel with the chic side of marble, chrome and herringbone is quite unique. LA MARQUISE has a general view of the dining room, the exterior and the magnificent fireplace that give people a unique experience. The playroom allows the parent to keep an eye on their children while keeping an unmistakable design that works very well in the living space.

SUBURBAN LUXURY DUBLIN

BY JONATHAN WILLIAMS LUXURY KITCHENS & BESPOKE FURNITURE Location: Dublin, Republic of Ireland Date Completed: September 2019 Jonathan Williams were enlisted directly by the homeowners to provide complete Kitchen cabinetry and design to contrast with their lifestyles. Suburban Luxury Dublin was the result This handmade and fully bespoke kitchen was designed and crafted for a renovated and extended home in South Dublin. The luxurious cabinetry, from our Canterbury Collection, features 30mm solid beech doors and solid oak internals. This kitchen was hand painted on site in contrasting colours to sync up with the features of the door and frame. A double bi-folding door pantry provides easily accessible storage for this family and this kitchen features a custom Jonathan Williams mantle, capped with a beautiful natural marble splashback.

The contrasts in colours on this design set it apart. The features of the island come to life through the genuine hand painting and choice of colours. The natural marble worktop chosen for this project also gives a further depth, adding to the natural flow of the kitchen. Solid oak interiors on this project then added a warm contrasting feel.

All of the timber work was hand joined within theit factory by their master tradesmen, including our dovetail drawers. Each unit and door were specifically hand crafted for this project and hand painted on site.

This projects aim was to become a sanctuary away from busy Dublin suburbia and with the depth of joinery within the doors and surrounds, as well as the island pilasters, the design brings an almost regal getaway for this busy family.

HOUSE OF CHAMBERY BY TAILORED INTERIOR INC Location: Alberta, Canada Date Completed: February 2020 Interior Designer: Tailored Interior Inc. Construction Company: Tailored Interior Inc.

Pippa Paton Design Limited were enlisted for a complete renovation of a Grade II listed Cotswold manor house, untouched for almost 50 years.

House of Chambery is a full renovation project, where creativity and collaboration play major roles in the design and craftsmanship of this custom residence.

The layered textures and design elements compliment each feature of the home to create a breath-taking yet liveable result.

The open L-shaped kitchen, dining and sitting area, which Pippa Paton Design created from four separate rooms, has an impressive seven-metre, copper painted island embracing the room’s length. This incorporates triple Bora hobs and duel extractors and a glass topped, illuminated display trough set into the stainless steel and Corian worktop, with numerous storage units below.

Inspired by the designer’s visit to London for The International Design & Architecture Awards 2019, Tailored Interior Inc reevaluated her design approach to push the boundaries of her capabilities. House of Chambery was driven by the experience of acknowledging global design, with influences from London’s own culture, beauty, and magic in the architecture and visual design of the city.

Parallel to the island full-height olivewood units, the wood choice reflecting the family’s history, incorporates an appliance cupboard with foldaway doors, a doublewidth food storage cupboard, display niches and a ‘secret’ door to a shelf-lined pantry and secondary washdown area. The primary washdown is a separate station opposite the end of the island with Corian-sided sinks, 4-in-1 taps, and dishwasher and bins below and hanging for towels set into the lefthand panel to hide from view. A glassware cabinet with internal glass shelves has door panels made from two clear layers of acrylic separated by corrugated cardboard. These panels transmit light creating the effect of the glassware glowing when the cupboard is illuminated.

The entire home is custom designed and crafted by Tailored Interior Inc. The entrance to the property boasts custom 3D raised millwork doors, and guiding the eye across the two levels is stand-out railings, designed as a ‘never seen before’ feature. Throughout the home is restored and refurbished 100 percent natural and pure maple floors which can be seen being incorporated alongside custom marble slabs for natural, layered textures.

The kitchen is the heart of this home, where many elements come together to complement each individual feature.

The monochromatic scheme drives a sophisticated atmosphere, and with the added metallic and marble touches, and Tailored Interior Inc’s playful approach to shapes and textures, this area is both luxurious and functional.

The clients approached ArtHouse Creative Interiors with a substantial large room as a blank canvas, allowing for complete design freedom.

As an expansive room, overall size measuring in excess of 80 sq. metres, ArtHouse Creative Interiors needed to design the space in a clever way. Within early designs the idea of a room within a room developed, by using SieMatic Side & slide door to conceal a secret hidden walk-in pantry store and cool room. This space would provide the client with a concealed area for prep/storage, concealed away from the main showpiece setting of the main kitchen area. The design is contemporary and fresh yet homely at the same time. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing its functionality to host parties and enjoy cooking whilst entertaining is its key feature.

WINE COUNTRY CANADA

This design was constructed to maximise the exterior vanquish points and views while echoing the brilliance of the seasonal colour palette. This focus can be found in the kitchen area, where there are unobstructed views of the surrounding greenery, and the kitchen island and seating are positioned to amplify and fully benefit from this vista.

Here, the earthy tones, leather seating and textured lighting pieces offer a link to the landscape, merged with luxury in depth of textures and gold accents. From rich gold hues in the fall to lustrous greens in the spring, the luxurious velvets and finishing materials were carefully selected to echo the beauty of lake country.

WHAT THE FARMHOUSE BY D’AMORE INTERIORS Location: Colorado, USA Date Completed: November 2019 Interior Designer: Gina D’Amore Bauerle Architect: Karen Sund Construction Company: Kirella Homes This custom new build was a blank canvas for D’Amore Interiors, the brief was to design a “modern glam farmhouse”. The homeowners desired a private sanctuary for themselves that would provide all the spaces their lives required, from a cook’s kitchen, his and hers private home offices, and a basement level for their teenage son to inhabit.

The kitchen is 800 square feet with a 24’ vaulted ceiling, so not only were the appliances and cabinets scaled up in order to look balanced, but a 10’ tall steel range hood was custom made to add weight and depth over the 60” range. The dining end of the kitchen had originally been laid out to have one large dining table, but since that felt too redundant with the formal dining room space right around the corner, the designers shifted the layout to accommodate for built in window seats with a more intimate dinette area in one.

The aim was to create dark, tonal symmetry with the cabinetry, backsplash and counters on the far back wall, to enhance with the almond gold touches. As avid cooks with a passion for entertaining, the clients intended to spend a lot of their time in this room.

Hand-painted cabinetry in warm charcoal, recessed brushed brass finger pulls, an expansive central island and patinated metal splashback all add texture to the kitchen. The darker cabinetry contrasts with the light material of the island and the herringbone flooring, and the steel framed double glass doors ensure that a lot of light reaches the full kitchen space.

The subdued yet captivating front façade, clad in exquisite Shou Sugi Ban, hides the home’s most significant features from the street. Surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass and Jatoba wood, the first-floor design focuses the eye on created beauty including a suspended hanging wall with a ceramic art installation, a cantilevered staircase, and a custom sculptural children’s play stage which doubles as storage.

They also carried the design in the pillow fabric through its soft blues and sand like patterns.

The chandelier in the dinette also mimics the sun and rests above a gold lattice work fruit bowl that resembles sea coral.

REEDVALE BY STUDIO WILLIAM HEFNER Location: Los Angeles, California Date Completed: 2018 Architect: William Hefner Interior Designer: Sheila Bouttier Construction Company: Scott McMurray of Synergy General Contractors The setting of Mandeville Canyon brought together the best of two worlds, country, and city, in the design of this family home.

For a creative couple with young kids, this mix allowed them to reinvent an idea of sophisticated farmhouse living close to town, without giving up a wholesome connection to nature day to day. With all the orientation to light and the garden, and the local language of wood and stone, it’s the city version of a canyon house.

Boxed panelling occurs throughout the house, from the double-height stair hall, to the rich, dark panelling in the dining room and the office. The family room and the kitchen bring in aspects of panelling on both walls and cabinetry; and the bathrooms have their own variation with mixed wood and marble panelling. This gives the whole house an intimacy, while also providing needed order and continuity to the changing volumes of the building.

Deniece Duscheone Design removed all the layers from the 1980’s design and simplified the details, creating a refined, modern experience – what modern city living is all about. By respecting the original bones of the building, the designers were able to uncover a little history of the building and integrate this into the design. The exposed brick wall became a key feature of the apartment, adding so much character and charm. The Living Space is sleek and modern, with a real rustic feel flowing through each room, giving away clues into city life during the San Francisco gold-era.

VALLEJO STREET BY ALISON PICKART Date Completed: 2019 Interior Designer: Alison Pickart Situated in a traditional Co-Op style building, this apartment maintains the iconic period elements of high ceilings and detailed moulding seen in “old” San Francisco buildings - while opening up the floor plan to add light and give it a younger, fresher feeling.

The floorplan of the whole project removed the threshold and created a beautiful, cohesive space. The media room uses the lack of natural light to its advantage, creating a cosy atmosphere. St. Laurent, on navy metallic silk by DeGournay, covers the walls, giving the room a luxe, warm feeling.

Custom Holland & Sherry embroidered pillows sit atop a custom sectional couch with peacock blue silk mohair by Corragio textiles.

Overall, this penthouse was designed for entertaining. While opening the floor plan guests are still able to feel connected to those who may be in the nearby living or dining room.

WHAT THE FARMHOUSE BY D’AMORE INTERIORS Location: USA Date Completed: November 2019 Interior Designer: Gina D’Amore Bauerle Architect: Karen Sund Construction Company: Kirella Homes This custom new build was a blank canvas for D’Amore Interiors, the brief was to design a “modern glam farmhouse”. The homeowners desired a private sanctuary for themselves that would provide all the spaces their lives required, from a cook’s kitchen, his and hers private home offices, and a basement level for their teenage son to inhabit.

This home sits on a mountainside with nature in view in nearly every space.

D’Amore Interiors used colour to draw, and in some cases, distract from certain elements. The blue accents in the master bedroom played off of the beautiful blue water of the swimming pool just outside their windows. In contrast, her home office features her favourite colour fuchsia so that there was no confusion that you were entering her personal space. Every aspect of this design was a consideration of the architectural presence, landscape, and the family that was building their forever home.

KOLOMUO BY DE REUS ARCHITECTS Location: Hawaii Date Completed: December 2018 Architect: de Reus Architects Interior Designer: Philpotts Interiors Construction Company: Maryl Construction A series of pavilions interlocked together representative of the Japanese concept ‘Ma’, de Reus Architects’ project Kolomuo serves to celebrate the space between structures, creating transition and drama.

Set alongside an 1801 lava flow on the Leeward Coast of Hawaii’s Big Island, the 8,000 square foot, four-bedroom Kolomuo Residence was designed with a modern island architectural style that connects the homeowner to nature, the region and the local culture. Informed by modernism and experience in Hawaii, de Reus Architects used Japanese design philosophies and a sense of restraint as the driving factors of the home.

The design of the home is successful due to the use of negative space between pavilions for transition space. These spaces, while a design challenge, were opportunities for experiential graciousness and highlighted a sense of arrival at each pavilion. The resulting home is comfortable yet refined in quality, evoking a timeless architectural character, contextually appropriate for the setting.

“IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD” BY DE-CITY, LADA PODOLSKAYA DESIGN STUDIO Location: Moscow Date Completed: 2019 Interior Designer: De-City, Lada Podolskaya Design Studio Created for a family that combines the traditions of the West and the East, living between the two continents of North America and Eurasia, the residence is a model of a world without borders, while preserving the individual space of each family member.

“In the beginning was the Word”, in the beginning was the idea. In the beginning was the incorporeal mirage of creativity and the hand of the Creator. Our life is a window opening, breaking gold fabric of thought, the wind of changes, hopes, dreams, blown sails bursting into unbounded dawns, and it seems the life is without the end. And the dry thump of windows pressed back into nonexistence, addresses to recollection, to thought, to creativity part, to Creator’s intention.

The interior does not reject tradition, its image is built from the image of the temple, visible from the windows. The use of colour and texture is as natural and eco-friendly as possible. The interior uses a lot of manual labour of craft workshops; a fireplace, work with marble, individual natural parquet and built-in furniture.

MOKOTOWSKA CHIC BY HOLA DESIGN Location: Warsaw Date Completed: April 2020 Interior Designer: HOLA Design Mokotowska Chic is an elegant apartment with an area of ​​about 170 m2, located in a historic tenement house in the centre of Warsaw. Its interior is filled with highquality design, elements of old architecture and excellent art. The whole interior design corresponds to the type of real estate, i.e. the interior of an old tenement house.

The location was a challenge for the designers because the conservator of monuments taking care of this property limited the introduction of functional changes in the interior. However, it was possible to recreate former room enfilade arrangement. The leitmotif of this project is the “tone on tone” approach, i.e. obtaining a coherent, harmonious interior without many contrasts. One that over the years will defend its timelessness, while not being overloaded. The goal of the architects and owners was to create a maximally coherent interior with elements referring to the Art Deco style, this is perfectly seen in the living space of this apartment. It is a perfect environment for relaxation after a long and busy day. The nature of this living space is mainly influenced by large windows, stucco, bright wooden floor arranged in a herringbone pattern and preserved ceiling moldings. Numerous works of art are used as brilliant decorations.

All equipment and accessories have been selected with the utmost care for detail. In addition to noble aesthetics, the interior must also have been created in a reasonable, functional way. Every day it is a house for a family of four.

The interior enriched with art and design objects by local new-wave creators has received a completely new interpretation.

The interior is modern and elegant, with warm accents creating a cosy atmosphere throughout.

The two-flow window is the key feature of the design, working with the everchanging natural lighting coming from outside to create multiple ambiences.

The client, a theatre costume designer, wanted a New York style apartment, but in the middle of Warsaw. The designers have created this triplex penthouse apartment, inspired by the idea of a live theatre. The large windows represent the theatre curtain and the breath-taking view of the city plays the role of the spectacle on the stage for all to see.

The beautiful view of Warsaw can be viewed from the rooftop, where the sliding roof and windows give opportunity to sit outside from early Spring to late Autumn. Every element of this project was thought out and refined with the design concept in mind.

Most of the furniture was custom made especially for this project, designed by Katarzyna Kraszewska. This meant it was possible to design special lighting settings and hidden elements such as chimney shafts or cabinets with office equipment.

The home office on the second floor is an open space which can be changed around to create extra sleeping room for guests when needed.

VILLA SOL DE MALLORCA

BY KNOX DESIGN Location: Mallorca Date Completed: 2019 Interior Designer: Knox Design Justine Knox was contacted by the developer to help with the furnishing and staging of this Modern purpose-built two storey residence. The brief was to create a holiday home for grown-up families that spoke of luxury elegance throughout.

The ground floor living area was long and narrow; it needed to be carefully furnished to define each space with its own purpose, while preserving the open plan design. The team added a partition wall between the entrance lobby and the dining space in order to add intimacy to the dining area and provide a focal point opposite the front door.

Lighting elements were added to covings, low level staircase treads and lamps overhanging the chrome and oak dining table and the kitchen island.

A further touch of glamour was added by the use of antique mirror as the kitchen back-splash. Justine added a further lounge area upstairs, featuring furniture, soft tones and fabrics, as well as artwork reflecting the relaxing mint and sand palette with lilac accents. The upholstered bed base and headboard in purple velvet of the master bedroom, setting off the iconic zig-zag Missoni throw and colourful corner armchair, is a bold and colourful reminder that neutrals and colours, if tastefully combined, work wonders.

MELBURY RD. - LONDON BY MAII INTERIORS Location: London Date Completed: 2018 Interior Designer: Maii Interiors Maii Interiors, a Rome based interior design, architectural-engineering firm spearheaded by Federica Squillante Montoro set forth to balance a classical contemporary design scheme within the space of a century old cultural heritage property designed by Richard Noman Shaw (1875). The residence’s property line backs up against the grounds of the Leighton Museum in Kensington. This architectural scrigno - steeped in a heritage of cultural aristocracy, called for optimization and clearing out of the space in order to award return of its charm, suspended between the past and present.

The designers believed that the historical integrity of the property and its relationship to the surrounding neighbourhood must also be an integral part of the design discussions and actions. The original structure was maintained intact; however, the existing floors were replaced with herringbone parquet, making a huge aesthetic difference. The selection of fabrics, materials, fine joinery, finishes and furnishings hand-crafted by Italian artisans created an environment of luxury that accompanies the present owner throughout the day. Throughout, the rooms are accessorised with antique pieces, artworks of provenance, dating from the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and a contemporary sculpture piece.

Melbury Road is a transformation of a cultural heritage property built by Richard Norman Shaw (1875) into an elegant classical-modern home of comfort and luxury.

AMAGATALL BY MURRON INTERIOR DESIGN Location: Mallorca, Spain Interior Designer: MURRON Interior Design Architect: Peter Mesecke Construction Company: Construccions Melia The brief was for a building plot in the Mallorcan countryside, if possible, in absolute solitude, to build a new fourbedroom hideaway that combined family spaces, the client’s passion for cooking and the love of the sea. It was important for the client to have plenty of outdoor space as well as flexible accommodation space for their teenage children’s friends. An outdoor pool and casita as well as internal fireplace were absolutely essential.

Fresh, light and modern were the three keys themes for this project. As building regulation in the Mallorcan countryside are very strict, it was a challenge to follow these regulations as well as to stretch them.

The internal layout was defined by dividing the private and public spaces, separating the floors by the different functions and areas: the lower ground floor accommodates three ensuite bedrooms, the gym and golf simulator room, a playroom for the kids and the laundry and technical area.

Due to the geomorphology of the plot, the access to the villa is through the ground floor and the idea was to create a surprise effect via the big glazed panels opening to the landscape. The whole floor is an open plan area in which different living and seating spaces were conceived.

The interiors concept was a result of the interpretation of the client’s profile and personality with NBB Design values, mixing contemporary furniture items with a touch of classic in the cornices and joinery details.

The client’s art collection has been taken into consideration mixing it in each the living space of the house. The clients were relocating from the Middle East so NBB Design wanted to keep a bit of the warm atmosphere and make sure the lighting was in line with this.

CALCUTTA BY KYLE & CO. DESIGN STUDIO Location: Edmonton, Canada Date Completed: November 2019 Architect: Design Two Group Interior Designer: Kyle & Co. Design Studio The client wanted this home to be an entertainer’s paradise, whether it was utilizing the expansive island or revealing a hidden bar in the dining room. Designed with a contemporary, warm palette in mind, and small touches of European influenced design and architecture, this Edmonton home showcases rich materials that add texture and movement to each space.

The client wanted to use the house as an entertainment space, therefore the design brief was to make every inch of the house a feature for entertaining guests as well as themselves.

Kyle & Co. Design Studio have created a warm and comfortable environment despite being a sleek contemporary home. The decision to elevate the island by adding four inches to normal counter height was one which represents this vision as, since the island was clad in porcelain marble, the added height of the island made it feel sculptural and more of a conversation piece.

An international, art and furniture loving couple with two teenagers wanted to convert a wonderful 800 square metre two-story penthouse into a timeless, functional and welcoming home. Open to Mirabello Interiors’ whimsical design ideas, the owners allowed the creative team to exercise a creative liberty that is uncommon in the region. Their design team treated the architectural finishes of the home as the canvas for the client’s collection of art and furniture. Rather than competing, each of the elements supported the other, while being individually viable. Therefore, the end result is welcoming rather than imposing.

PRIVATE VILLA DUBAI BY SHH Location: Dubai, UAE Date Completed: November 2019 Interior Designer: Rupert Martineau Architect: Pawel Nawojczyk Construction Company: Chicago Construction SHH has completed one of its most ambitious residential projects to date, a high-spec, luxury, new-build villa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The 30,000 square foot villa has been designed in a Mediterranean style with Romanesque architectural influences throughout. SHH provided a full architecture and interior design service on the project from concept through to completion and dressing.

The client wanted a turnkey design solution from architecture through to interiors and FF&E. The designers were keen to ensure the project was designed and built in a manner that would significantly raise the standards currently available in Dubai. The detailing of the architecture alone, bringing in the use of strict controls in heat bridging allows this property to be far more efficient than similar scale projects. This property breaks new ground in terms of size and use of the entire plot including a basement level which is rare in this city.

PENTHOUSE APARTMENT, MILLERS POINT, SYDNEY BY STUDIO BARBARA Date Completed: December 2019 Interior Designer: Studio BARBARA Developer: Private Client Construction Company: Sandlik Constructions The main consideration of this project was to create a space that is a celebration of the expansive Sydney Harbour landscape while remaining a calm escape. The balance of refuge and references to the natural and built landscapes create a harmonious sense of place. The tonal and textural palette of veneer, natural timber and stone reinforce a sense of grounding and stillness, connecting with the elements of nature.

White linen curtains are soft like the clouds, while the interspersed polished surfaces of the furniture/accessories shimmer like the harbour. The curves and softened edges of bulkheads, corners of veneer walls and sculptural couches mimic the fluidity of the harbour. The black steel band and fluted tiles of the kitchen island bench reference the built fabric of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House.

The designer’s favourite aspect of the home is that it has a European character while also expressing a refined Australian aesthetic.

NEW NORDIC APARTMENT

BY STUDIO GATHE Location: Norway Date Completed: June 2019 Interior Designer: Studio Gathe Set on the first floor of a late 19th century Apartment building in Oslo, this project is a collaboration between Interior Designer Hanne Gathe and homeowner and property developer Per Ove Bakke. The design is a beautiful expression of both the owner’s personality and new Nordic design.

The owner wanted to create a unique space, unlike your typical Scandinavian style.

Studio Gathe has beautifully contrasted the bright whites, typically used in Nordic countries, with strikingly darker shades.

The goal was to create multiple interesting zones, where the space would flow and become multi-functional. The key aspect of the brief was to create a strong personality, curating a meaningful space.

The apartment symbolises a new Nordic design, the Nordic Noir. It is the combination of two minds, a homeowner who has a rooted life in Oslo’s property world and an interior designer with decades of international experience.

BIRCH TREE HOUSE BY SUSI LEETON ARCHITECTS + INTERIORS Location: Melbourne, Australia Date Completed: April 2019 Architect: Susi Leeton Architects + Interiors Interior Designer: Susi Leeton Architects + Interiors Construction Company: Visioneer Builders The aim for Birch Tree house was to create a gentle sculptural but robust family home set amongst a beautiful restful garden. The design brief was to create a 4-bedroom home with various family areas maximising the long north aspect leading towards a beautiful pool. The approach both internally and externally was to create a dialogue of poetic curved volumes, light and delicate details as a background canvas for a busy family life. The volumes of space are soft sculptural forms that overlap and intersect creating workable family zones. Natural light and soft materials were selected to create a chiaroscuro of light and shade.

Finishes were deliberately refined and tonal. Natural limestone, oak timber floor, polished plaster walls, linen curtains were the understated palette. The walls being polished concrete create a shimmering effect throughout every space. The gardens and the interface were utmost in the design.

Inside became outside.

Element Living Ltd believed it was important for the space to be comfortable to allow the residents to live well and study hard. The design works so well as the composition and combination of the following three features; the contrast between the burnt orange silk from India and ocean blue creating a dramatic effect; the colour of the wall in soft black with blue undertones as a backdrop; and the different heights and distinctive shapes of the two pendant lights.

REGENTS PARK PENTHOUSE

BY NW3 INTERIORS LTD Date Completed: November 2019 Interior Designer: NW3 Interiors Ltd Regents Park Penthouse is an aesthetically stunning home filled with timeless classics from elite brand partners. NW3 Interiors Ltd have created a unique and exquisite home for their client to enjoy for years to come.

NW3 Interiors were requested to work within a short time frame due to the client’s imminent arrival date and a fair budget. The design works well because NW3 Interiors have balanced colour, tone and texture to create a harmonious space. Using key timeless pieces were crucial to working with the period aesthetic of the space. The space was maximised by dividing the large area into a dining and lounge space without cluttering or interrupting flow.

NW3 Interiors’ favourite part of the project was being given total control of the choices for furnishing and decoration. This gave the designers an incredible opportunity to design freely and supply a handful of their favourite iconic collections.

LONDON TOWNHOUSE BY PAPER + WHITE Date Completed: July 2019 Architect: Spencer Adams & Louise Litchfield, SA Architecture Interior Designer: Davina Stanley, Paper + White Construction Company: Delaney Design & Build Take a five storey Georgian Townhouse nestled in the heart of London’s exclusive Chelsea and renovate it from top to bottom into a clean, uncluttered space that is beautiful yet still says ‘welcome family home’ was the brief for Paper+White.

The designers’ belief in art as a fundamental design tool for conveying style, personality and ambience became the key design aspect for the project and art choices were factored in at the start of the creative process.

Neutral rooms with pale walls provided the perfect setting for bold pieces, allowing the images to become the focal point and inspiration for the rest of the scheme.

Impactful spots such as above a fireplace, sofa or in the centre of a wall were chosen for each piece and with the large heritage windows, the designers echoed these beautiful features with a bold painting roughly the same dimension.

BREEZERS COURT BY SHUWEN WANG DESIGN Date Completed: August 2019 Interior Designer: Shuwen Wang Shuwen Wang Design were appointed by a London city professional to renovate an historical warehouse into a luxury apartment. The designers were asked by the client to restore the original warehouse features whilst simultaneously creating a contemporary and elegant look.

The main challenge facing the designers was that the apartment only had two westfacing windows, one in the living room and the other in the bedroom. In addition, both windows faced another tall warehouse which largely limited the light coming into the flat. In response, Shuwen Wang Design added two large floor-to-ceiling mirrors to reflect the light from the windows.

The client wanted a neutral and calm colour scheme, with no complicated patterns. In order to create an elegant and versatile space, the designers used a lot of rich textures and different finishes, but still staying within the safe colour palette.

MARYLEBONE APARTMENTBY JHR INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN Date Completed: August 2019 Interior Designer: JHR Interior Architecture & Design JHR Interior Architecture & Design were instructed to carry out full “turn-key” furnishing and styling of this Marylebone development including a number of bespoke pieces of furniture design. Whilst adhering to the original brief, the clients gave the designers total control of the interiors. By using the light colour palette throughout and hints of navy blue in the living room and emerald green headboard in the master bedroom, this compact apartment now maximises the space with luxury and highend finishes.

The client was keen to have a lot of seating for gathering with their family, so furniture layout was tricky as the space wasn’t big.

JHR Interior Architecture & Design used the column as a kind of separation of the living and dining, the designers used a smaller depth sofa and more compact armchairs so they would look proportioned to the space without compromising the quality or comfort.

EDINBURGH NEW TOWN APARTMENT BY BARCLAY INTERIORS LTD Location: Edinburgh, Scotland Date completed: June 2019 Architect: Bergmark Architects Interior Designer: Barclay Interiors Ltd Construction Company: DCM Construction The client wanted to create a modern and functional home without compromising the property’s heritage. The property had been empty for three years, having been badly developed in the 1960s and the interior hadn’t been touched for over forty years.

The client wanted to restore the few remaining original features, which extended to stone flooring, sash windows, and an internal staircase. They wanted a space that fulfilled the needs of their lifestyle; they also needed the apartment to work for 21st Century living. Above all, the clients wanted to introduce colour and texture to make use of some of their existing vintage furniture and pieces from their travels.

The property is a Grade A listed property so several specialist skills we used to assist with the renovation of its original features.

The original stone floors were carefully restored along with the wooden flooring which were seamlessly renovated by expert carpenters.

PERIOD PROPERTY, EDGBASTON BY BAYSWATER INTERIORS Date Completed: October 2019 Interior Designer: Bayswater Interiors The clients, a professional couple and their young family, had recently moved into a large property in Edgbaston, Birmingham.

They loved the period features of their home but it was Bayswater Interiors’ responsibility to embrace the character and restore the features in need of TLC. The designers were also to introduce a more contemporary element that would suit the young family and their own tastes. The design overall seeks to balance the two main functions of the home as both an entertaining space and a family home.

The design scheme, whilst providing a more contemporary feel to balance the traditional elements of the building, needed to work for a number of years and not go ‘out of fashion’ quickly. This home is situated in the city centre, yet feels like it could be in the countryside and has a quiet and relaxing feel with beautifully proportioned rooms and original features.

WESTERLEIGH HOUSE BY FAWN INTERIORS Date Completed: May 2019 Interior Designer: Robyn Knibb (Fawn Interiors) Construction Company: JAS Building Services Located on the outskirts of Bristol, Fawn Interiors were asked to create a luxurious contemporary living room. The clients wanted this space to be enjoyed every day by the family but equally a place that would suit entertaining and large family gatherings. The interior was to be chic, elegant and glamorous yet still practical with cosy spaces.

The client loved the size of this room but the current layout did not work for their family, so it was Fawn Interiors’ job to make this into a timeless, contemporary, multifunctional space with the feeling of intimacy. The success of this room lies in its casual but elegant approach. All the furniture was upholstered in complementing fabrics and all were based on timeless, clean styles so they read well together. The furniture is brought together by a large rug encapsulating the seating areas, making the space feel warm and intimate.

The main reception room and formal dining space was a core focus of the project, with the Hill House team tasked with creating a natural flow between the open plan reception rooms.

Each individual piece of furniture incorporates subtle design details, such as brushed brass sofa plinths and fluted upholstery.

The design approach was to design simplicity, introducing contemporary materials fused with textural layers alongside a softly neutral palette. White walls and neutral-toned furnishings provide a backdrop, with timber used for most joinery, furniture and flooring.

Pippa Paton Design selected furniture and furnishings which introduce lightness and fineness in terms of structure, colour, and materials. A bespoke glass-topped dining table enables the stunning parquet floor to be seen and its steel base is a sculpture in its own right. In the drawing room, glasstopped coffee tables display an Orthoceras fossil and vintage threshing table.

KEW HOUSE BY ALEXANDER POLLOCK Location: Kew, Victoria Australia Date Completed: December 2019 Interior Designer: Alexander Pollock KEW house was a brand new build home of approximately 1100 sqm internally with three floors including a gym, elevator, theatre and sauna.

Alexander Pollock was commissioned to design the entire home in a classic contemporary style with a good use of colour. The requirement of the client was to create a luxurious space without using any walnut stained timber in any of the furnishings. It was important to the client that quality and unique pieces of furniture were selected to reflect the quality of the house.

The inspirations for the design were derived mainly from the modern eclectic style with an American flavour. Alexander Pollock have used a mix of various materiality and forms to create interest. A different atmosphere was created for each space of the house however the story is continuous throughout.

There was a good use of different fabric textures and patterns and colour to bring the space to life.

The key aspect in this project would be the dining room. We love the juxtaposition of the masculine sculptural dining table and the delicate crystal chandelier. The design works well as it used a cohesive colour palette without competing elements. The style of the decor was light and fun without compromising luxury and having a grown up feel. The high ceilings of the spaces allowed us to use statement lighting.

WHAT THE FARMHOUSE BY D’AMORE INTERIORS Location: Colorado, USA Date Completed: November 2019 Interior Designer: Gina D’Amore Bauerle Architect: Karen Sund Construction Company: Kirella Homes This custom new build was a blank canvas for D’Amore Interiors, the brief was to design a “Modern Glam Farmhouse”. The homeowners desired a private sanctuary for themselves, that would provide all the spaces their lives required, from a cook’s kitchen, his and hers private home offices, and a basement level for their teenage son to inhabit.

The upper level of this home, which solely housed his and her home offices with a powder bath in between, posed another layout problem. D’Amore Interiors decided to add an additional interior wall that would create a hallway space to both home offices that kept them each private from one another. The designers then decided to turn the new narrow and tall hallway they were left with into a library, so D’Amore Interiors designed built in shelving that would follow the vaulted roof line all the way up 18’ and house nearly one thousand books.

This home sits on a mountainside with nature in view in nearly every space. The designers used colour to draw, and in some cases, distract from certain elements. For example, D’Amore Interiors created a clean black anRd white kitchen so that the views of nature out the windows became the art.

The blue accents in the master bedroom played off of the beautiful blue water of the swimming pool just outside their windows.

In contrast, her home office features her favourite colour fuchsia so that there was no confusion that you were entering her personal space.

HYDE PARK BY JULIETTE BYRNE LTD Location: London, United Kingdom Date Completed: December 2019 Interior Designer: Juliette Byrne Ltd The clients of this Hyde Park property moved in around 15 years ago after it was fully furnished by a previous interior designer.

Over the years, the clients felt that the interior had aged, it was too dark, grey and washed out for their taste. Juliette Byrne Ltd were enlisted for a complete redesign of the property.

The complete redecoration included new paint colours throughout the communal areas and light textured wallpapers in the bedrooms. In the dining area, Juliette Byrne selected a Fromental wallpaper with a butterfly motif on the feature fireplace wall, which happened to be one of the client’s favourite aspects. It was important to keep the interiors open and airy, so the remaining walls features a muted wallpaper with a slight shimmer to reflect the light coming in from the windows around the room, as the apartment looks out over Hyde Park.

The designers kept the colour schemes light and fresh with pops of accent colour in items such as artwork and cushions to give more depth and interest. The joinery items that the Juliette Byrne design team built for the client’s large shoe, clothes and bag collection incorporated light into both the interior and exterior. The designers also added a beautiful Ochre pendant light at the top of the stairs and low-level spotlights on every other stair tread going up the stairs.

The client was extremely pleased with the outcome, thanks to the good working relationship that evolved with the clients.

THE ULTIMATE LOFT STYLE PENTHOUSE BY MAISON ARABELLA Location: Gibraltar Date Completed: August 2018 Interior Designer: Maison Arabella Architect: Taylor Woodrow A duplex penthouse on the Mediterranean was re-imagined creating a comfortable escape reminiscent of New York style loft living.

The entrance hall is impactful and welcoming simultaneously and is an impressive feature of the property with a curved wall and double height ceiling where scale, texture and form all appear in harmony. Maison Arabella designed a custom-made triplex lighting piece together with a book stand in matte black, commissioned to display a limited-edition Helmut Newton’s book from the client’s collection, which sits proudly against the floor-to-ceiling mirror panelled wall.

A ‘less is more’ approach applies to the living and dining sections, four areas separated by clever partitioning such as the fireplace and tv wall and a custom-made pool-table that converts to ping-pong. The generous dining table, complemented with angular metal framed chairs, allows for perfect entertaining. Whilst the comfortable lounge sofa and sculptural armchairs, positioned to enjoy the extraordinary view, create the paired back feel of the den. The combination of nuanced colours and weathered brick work of the double height wall strikes a balance between masculine restraint and youthful irreverence. An extension to the interior, the yacht-like terraces are designed to withstand coastal weather, to enjoy sunny days and colourful sunsets.

The clients, both hard working and successful, decided it was time for an upgrade and were able to purchase a property in a prestigious area in the West end of Edmonton. This home is a sprawling 4000 square feet, contemporary modern home to accommodate a growing and working family.

The home boasts 20 feet high ceilings with beautiful architectural lighting, art and original designs. It inhabits an open thread, metal beamed staircase that is a showstopper upon entering the home. A beautiful living space with onyx inspired tiles on the tall fireplace.

The home contains a modern, functional high-end kitchen with beautifully painted white wood flat profile cabinets and walnut veneer upper cabinets and island.

Warmth was created through the walnut cabinetry and metals and brass which were incorporated into the kitchen. In the kitchen nook, a custom vibrant Crypton blue fabric banquette was a bespoke piece that Modern Era Design had created for the clients. as the kitchen eating area had to be multifunctional and comfortable.

It took almost two years to complete the drafting, construction, interior design, and interior decorating of the home. It is truly a family home to be lived in and loved.

This was a special project for Panoramic Properties’ client who grew up in the area and wanted a place once again to call home in the historic town. The designers needed to do more than just create a home - this was a project that had a lifetime of memories and dreams attached to it.

Panoramic Properties were instructed to undertake the full renovation of this magnificent Victorian property located beside North Berwick’s exclusive seafront.

It was imperative that the original details, period features and beauty of the property were retained and brought back to their former glory, whilst introducing a cosy but contemporary design approach.

Architectural features such as high ceilings and intricate plasterwork were refurbished, bespoke joinery provided practicality for modern-day living and a calming palette of neutrals added a level of sophistication.

Incorporating accents of tartan and faux fur gave the luxurious yet homely feel so desired by the family, with the sympathetic nod to the local area.

Panoramic Properties needed to maximise the panoramic views that this property was surrounded by. To frame the iconic landscape in the area, the designers introduced windows and balconies giving emphasis on the views, The Law Formation, Bass Rock, Scottish Sea Bird Centre and Bay.

COTSWOLD MANOR BY PIPPA PATON DESIGN LIMITED Location: Gloucestershire, United Kingdom Date Completed: September 2019 Interior Designer: Pippa Paton Design Limited Architect: Pippa Paton Design Limited Construction Company: Drew Warren Building Contractor Pippa Paton Design Limited were enlisted for a complete renovation of a Grade II listed Cotswold manor house, untouched for almost 50 years. The brief was to create a 21st century home in style and functionality, capable of hosting large family gatherings, whilst celebrating the building’s history and fabric and the owners’ love of wood.

The overall approach for Pippa Paton Design was to enhance the beauty of historic materials and vistas through design simplicity, introducing contemporary materials fused with textural layers alongside a softly neutral palette. White walls and neutral-toned furnishings provide a backdrop, with timber used for most joinery, furniture and flooring.

To create light, airy, contemporary spaces, Pippa Paton Design removed walls to ease circulation, ceilings were vaulted to create a sense of space and new lighting with controls were introduced. Historic panelling in the principal reception rooms, darkened over time, was restored to its original honey colour. Flagstone and parquet flooring were stripped and hand-waxed to lighten.

One of the key aspects of this project was the enhancement of the original parts of the building. It was a true delight for Pippa Paton Design to see the historic fabric, such as the panelling, the stone and parquet flooring, and the stone windows, be bought back to its original finish through renovation, allowing its beauty to shine through.

ONE BLACKFRIARS APARTMENT BY RAVEN & LACK Location: One Blackfriars, London, UK Date Completed: December 2019 Interior Designer: Raven & Lack Architect: External - Simpson Haugh / Executive - Broadway Malyan Developer: Berkeley Group - St George PLC Raven & Lack were enlisted for the interior Design and FF&E Design for a 3-bedroom high-rise residential apartment in the new arts precinct of the One Blackfriars development.

The interior inspiration was a reconnaissance into the ideals of modern British design. Raven & Lack’s stimulation was acquired from the rectilinear geometry of the distinctively British tartan pattern.

Tartans are quintessentially British, both sophisticated and rebellious in nature, perfectly suited to the unique buyer profile.

The client requested an uplift for the apartment to a very high level of finish, with a unique narrative developed specifically for the apartment. Because Raven & Lack were given carte blanche from the beginning the interior architecture and FF&E design reflect the narrative of place and ensured cohesion in the detailing and palette throughout. For the designers, there was a firm focus on an identifiable sense of place in London, a celebration of the New Arts District of Southwark, and the connection to the magnificent 180 degree views these signature apartments offered.

The architecture of the building is inspired by the Lansetti Vase by Timo Sarpeneva and Raven & Lack’s interior focused on the cool sculptural elegance, and high-quality execution of the glazed piece. Visually the glazed curtain wall construction is broken down into a modernist grid which itself sparked the original idea for the overarching concept of the tartan.

GILDED NOIR BY RENEE GADDIS Date Completed: 2020 Interior Designer: Renee Gaddis Architect: Stofft Cooney Construction Company: BCB Homes Gilded Noir by Renee Gaddis Interiors is a model home that was also a new build.

Indeed, the home was custom designed from beginning to end. There was a budget in mind by the investor, but of course this in no way impinged on what is a gorgeously executed project.

This spec home is expansive, open and all things modern. Grey velvets, textured fabrics, brass metals, and warm wood tones greet you as you enter the main area of this home. Plush seating, visually appealing lighting elements and a LED fireplace complete the living, family and kitchen areas. Fun accessories add character throughout the master and guest bedrooms making the space cosy and complete. All bathrooms feature beautiful flooring and shower tiles with custom cabinetry, and a spacious outdoor living area perfect for hot summer barbeques and afternoon swims.

Another important thing to mention is the fact that Gilded Noir features a variety of environmentally friendly materials that the investor wanted the design team to stick to including natural flooring, countertop materials and wood features. This injection of sustainability is a great facet of the design.

All in all, Renee Gaddis professes that designing this home was a true blast and they truly hope that everyone who views the property feels the same love that went into it.

ACACIA AVENUES VILLA BY RUMAH INTERIORS Location: Dubai, UAE Date Completed: November 2019 Interior Designer: Rumah Interiors Construction Company: Noaf Interiors LLC A home designed for modern, suburban living; this villa was designed for an expatriate family of 5 in the heart of Dubai.

The overriding brief that was given to Rumah Interiors was to breathe life into a building which had been empty and neglected for several years by the Master Developer, before the owner purchased it with a vision and determination to make this his future family home.

The home underwent a total renovation, making it almost unrecognisable to what Rumah Interiors faced on their first site visit. The designers started by establishing the base material palette, which consisted of a limited set of standard finished that appear in every space. From the natural oak used in the joinery and wood flooring, matt black metal accents, grey concrete floor and wall features in various forms, and a beautiful vein cut silver travertine cladding that punctured through all four levels around the lift shaft.

The client wanted to maintain a consistent identity throughout the interior space, which aligned with Rumah Interiors way of working. The reason this design works so well was due to the meticulous devotion to the base material palette all through the property to achieve the client’s vision.

Every decision was taken with patience and respect for the principal to connect the various levels and rooms by not drifting away from the established intentions. With a nod to the owner’s childhood home, where the door was inscribed with a hand carved Arabic saying translating to “In the name of God, God has willed, there is no power but with God”.

HOLLYWOOD BEACH RESIDENCE BY SARAH Z DESIGNS Location: Hollywood Beach, Florida Date Completed: September 2019 Architect: CDG Miami Interior Designer: Sarah Z Designs Hollywood Beach Residence by Sarah Z Designs was nothing less than a full gut renovation, tearing down interiors, walls and adding square footage to create an open concept, design and construction with turnkey delivery.

Sarah Z Designs created an open concept layout to provide a more inviting environment to make the task of entertaining guests easier. They gutted walls, integrated higher ceilings and designed a new lighting plan to bring in more natural daylight. In turn, they utilised technological systems, creating a smart home to control every aspect of how the house operates.

Wall coverings were installed, as well as fabrics and flooring, with tile finishes that mimic sand and water, harnessing natural elements into the home using light, the ocean and other natural materials. Due to the fact the condo is facing the ocean, Sarah Z Designs opted to bring this feel onto the interior walls and carry it through for a direct connection with raw elements.

They also carried the design in the pillow fabric through its soft blues and sand like patterns.

In the entry foyer as well as the floors throughout the condo, textures and colours were used that illustrate sand on the beach.

The design was achievable through the clever use of light and shadow, stimulating views of the ocean, plants, patterns, shapes, textures and materials that distinctly reflect the natural environment. The condo consequently easily floats on top of the Atlantic Ocean beneath it.

HIS & HERS MASTER WALKIN WARDROBES BY CHRIS FELL DESIGN Date Completed: December 2019 Interior Designer: Chris Fell The design brief for the master walk-in wardrobes, was to continue with the theme of all the interior architecture that Chris Fell Design completed throughout the entire home incorporating one of their unique home moulding collections along with specific fine woods used throughout the house. Given the unusually shaped rooms that aren’t so grand, the client wanted to have maximum storage space with flow of space within the rooms, so that once the cabinetry was installed there was room to manoeuvre and still be aesthetically pleasing and practical.

Chris Fell Design needed to fulfil all the client’s storage requirements, along with the style to be in keeping with the rest of the home. This included contrasting colours of wood, making the cabinetry feel it was recessed into the walls by applying a bulkhead ceiling. This enabled the designers to incorporate the up-light coving of the unique collection matching the main bedroom.

LE MOVEMENT BY JULIEN BONZOM LTD Date Completed: July 2019 Developer: Julien Bonzom Heritier presents Le Movement: the world’s first mechanical clock – watch winder, designed by Julien Bonzom, founder of Heritier. The mechanical object is a question of balance and harmony between every component taken separately and as a whole. Le mouvement from Latin means “change of position”. ‘Movement’ is a watch making term, known as a caliber, the mechanism of a watch or timepiece.

For Heritier, Le Movement marks the start of moving into a new period of creating. A playful, yet functional object with different sides, so that one can choose to rotate the sculpture to the side they would like to enjoy.

The clock side of Le Movement shows off the craftsmanship of the gold and palladium spring movement. It represents a more conservative stance. Whereas the watch winder side of the piece is more avantgardist with two winders under a glass where the watches are safely stored and winded.

URCHIN CABINET BY JAKE PHIPPS LTD Date Completed: November 2019 Designer: Jake Phipps The bilateral symmetry of an urchin shell provided a creative influence as well as a technical one for this large wall-mounted cabinet. The seventy polished panels on the doors are curved and faceted to create fragmented reflections of the user’s environment. These panels array around a central convex mirror that creates a similarly distorted yet crispier and cleaner view that entices the user’s eye inwards.

The cabinet precision engineered opening and closing mechanism uses no electrical motors but is in fact operated entirely and effortlessly by the user alone. By pushing a discreet key latch that pops the central mirror outwards, the user simply pulls the central mirror downwards to a 90-degree angle revealing a polished marble worksurface on its reversed side, and a luxurious wooden interior. The key aspect of this product is the unique horizontal movement of the doors and their discreetly hidden mechanics.

LEXHAM GARDENS BY HAWKSBEE Location: London, UK Date Completed: August 2018 Architect / Interior Designer: Janine Stone & Company Working with a period property in Kensington, London, Hawksbee Lighting Design Consultancy purposely moved away from replicating this style with the lighting design scheme that they implemented. They were asked directly by the client to move away from what was an existing runway approach of lighting, to a concept that was concise, contemporary and invisible.

This project was a full refurbishment of a central London duplex apartment for a young family, which meant that Hawksbee had to consider a number of factors in the refreshed design. The concept had to account for the functionality required for a family home, the clients’ extensive collection of artwork and sculptures, and the vision of the interior designers. Whilst the project was the illumination of these factors, it was also about the control of the installation and about providing the scenes to suit each of these uses.

Each element of Hawksbee’s lighting scheme is there for a reason. It considers the interior designer’s concept while providing lit texture and layering throughout the scheme, whether it’s the children’s bedrooms or the kitchen. There is purpose to all elements, the clusters of varying sizes of recessed elements, the flexibility of the expressed product, there is a necessary purity when illumination is placed where it is needed. With an intangible factor such as this, Hawksbee considers what light touches first and foremost.

Though a period property, the contemporary design and product works seamlessly within the built environment.

PRIVATE RESIDENCE, KUALA LUMPUR BY JOHN CULLEN LIGHTING Location: Kuala Lumpur Date Completed: 2019 Interior Designer: KNA Design, LA The clients’ home was their escape, and by completing the refurbishment of the entire lighting design for the property, as well as minor uplifts from interior design perspective, John Cullen Lighting allowed them to gain a new appreciation for their home. This is something that John Cullen does well for their clients, creating the opportunities for people to fall in love with their homes all over again.

This client’s art collection was a key focus throughout the property. Although some art was highlighted, they were never a focus when developing the pre-existing lighting scheme. The client wanted to showcase his artwork along with his refreshed interiors in a way that was complimentary to his interiors, whilst also not digressing from the original aesthetics of the architecture.

Joh Cullen Lighting had to review all existing cabling to work around what was possible and make clever decisions in the best way to elevate the space, though they also had to allow for the client to retain occupancy within the home throughout the process and reduce impact to their day to day lives.

The lighting designers also carefully recommissioned the lighting control so that moods and scenes could be added to the space, something that had been forgotten previously.

The new lighting scheme that John Cullen Lighting had implemented remains subtle to the architecture, with low level and fully dimmable scenes, and placing the focus on key aspects that needed more drama within the spaces. The increased interconnectivity between the rooms and fluid traversing of the space due to the commissioned lighting scheme confirms how this design has worked so well for the property.

BEACHVIEW BY VANCOUVER DEVELOPMENT / NAHAL GAMINI DESIGN Location: North Vancouver, BC Date Completed: 2019 Interior Designer: Nahal Gamini of Vancouver Development Developer: Vancouver Development Construction Company: Vancouver Development Vancouver Development’s design concept for Beachview focusses on highlighting the beauty and impact of nature, and in doing so the designers have balanced natural and artificial lighting to work with the collaboration of indoor and outdoor lifestyle that the home provides.

Thoughtfully planned with a steel & concrete structure and a multifunctional open floorplan, the space embellishes a sophisticated aesthetic with artistic details, offers innovative ideas to maximize space, and presents stunning views in every area of the house highlighted by creative LED lighting design.

Vancouver Development invited natural lighting into all rooms of the house; bright family and study areas continue the connection to the outdoors, along with a spacious basement illuminated by skylights.

Stand out features of Beachview include the sculptural glass spiral staircase which acts as the focal point in the residence, and the understated kitchen with champagne bronze accents, innovative pantry and concealed door to wok kitchen. This space also passes the focus to the back garden and the views that the property has to offer, where the home opens out beautifully fades into rock retaining walls and green hedges.

The timeless interior design concept combines soft textures with matt neutral tones and finishes, and the integrated contemporary details have resulted in a refined yet inviting experience.

ST. PHILLIPS BAKERY BY VISO INC Location: Toronto, Canada Interior Designer: Truong Ly Design Developer: VISO Inc A custom lighting project for the new St. Phillips Bakery has been designed and implemented by Canadian studio Viso Inc, working with the interior designer to ensure that there is a seamless integration between the structure and the bakery space, working together in perfect harmony. Having these elements working together for the final outcome has resulted in a sophisticated and well-designed finish.

The project was designed to celebrate the evolution and growth of a family owned business with deep culture and values, whilst leading a path which is ahead of its time. Viso Inc took the challenge and worked closely with designer Truong Ly: according to the designer’s vision, Viso Inc has successfully design-engineered and fabricated a one of-a-kind fixture.

The aim was to create a single fixture that brings harmony to a space which benefits from a high ceiling, large windows and plenty of natural light. The lighting company engineered a complex structure to give a sense of depth while maintaining practicality.

With a structure this size, Viso Inc had to be meticulous with the ways in which it would light the area. To ensure adequate light, 4 different lighting structures were suspended, each placed strategically to provide uniform light as required throughout the day. This custom design spans 312”/792.5cm across, covering the space and providing a different angle and view throughout the bakery. To complement the design, shelves with transparent bases were also created, with the same material and finish, putting the finishing touch on Viso Inc’s masterpiece.

LAVINIA LIGHT BY MARTA SALA EDITIONS Date Completed: 2018 Interior Designer: Marta Sala Editions + Lazzarini & Pickering Marta Sala Éditions creates furniture with delicate, modular shapes created to optimize the use of space wherever they are placed. Stylish pieces that are also innovative, dense of heritage and knowledge. The Lavinia Light is a prime example of this.

Collection IV “Frames” is composed of new creations and several reinterpretations of already existing pieces, putting the accent on elegance and light lines. From the concept of the iconic armchair Lavinia designed by Lazzarini & Pickering, a new version is created with thin tubular elements, lighter, almost essential, to underline its architectural components.

The original version was realized in mat brass elements positioned one by one from the base, thanks to the skill of craftsmen, to avoid any type of visible welding. The second version, to offer a different range of prices and a lighter version, is in a similar brass varnished iron.

MURENA STOOL BY MARTA SALA EDITIONS Date Completed: 2018 Interior Designer: Marta Sala Editions + Lazzarini & Pickering Marta Sala serves to be a skilful “trait d’union” between the world of designers and the world of craftsmen. The purpose of Marta Sala Éditions is to offer more on demand furniture, which is unique in both quality and knowledge, yet remains accessible.

After the low version Silla, inspired by the iconic Murena chair designed in 2016 by Lazzarini & Pickering, the stool of the same series has been conceived under market demand. A simpler and light version is now present in the collection.

The use of the curves for the Harry sidetable of the first collection emerges again in the new Murena stool. Such forms are characterized by the geometric, but never rigid lines that give a poetic and delicate soul to this elegant piece. The back of the stool, so simply designed, gives a unique elegance that allows for the Murena stool to combine with a variety of different styles.

ROSIE SOFA BY MUNNA Date Completed: January 2020 Interior Designer: Munna The Rosie Sofa, by Munna, breathes heritage, taking notes from curves and silhouettes from eras of unmatched elegance. The sleek curvy lines, superb and cosy high back and perfectly proportioned seat make the Rosie the very definition of a true Classic, with that unmistakable Munna twist.

Munna feels that the key design aspect of the project is the meaningful and timeless design of the piece alongside the beautiful and intricate handcrafted elements. The design of the Rosie Sofa is handmade in Porto, Portugal. Munna’s designers and craftsmen are committed to delivering the highest standard upholstery, blending craftsmanship with noble materials and timeless design. The carpentry and upholstery were the key artisan skills that were used throughout the process. Both the upholstery and the legs are made of cotton velvet, ref. Green Duck Egg, CV19.

The design integrates into the wider environment through its elegant and iconic silhouette that makes the Rosie a classic.

AUDREY (GP05) BY GHYCZY Date Completed: November 2019 Interior Designer: GHYCZY The lounge chair Audrey (GP05) from the Safari collection was first designed by Peter Ghyczy in 2016, then redesigned by Felix Ghyczy in 2019. GHYCZY’s design philosophy is to design products that last and fit in with the trend of modern-day nomad culture.

Their main goal was to design Audrey (GP05) with this philosophy in mind and is the reason behind the name of the collection which the lounge chair is part of The Safari Collection.

The core concept and “DNA” of the collection is to encapsulate products that are lightweight, elegant, sexy and timeless.

For the original design, Peter Ghyczy drew inspiration from the ancient Bedouin culture. The difficulty was the technique of connecting metal and wood into a rigid and elegant construction, while using minimal resources. The result is an iconic chair to be dismantled and flat-packed. This chair is light, easy to carry, and adjustable to meet everyone’s seating preferences.

NO.12 COLLECTION NO.1 – STOOL BY NO.12 STUDIO Date Completed: March 2020 Interior Designer: No.12 Studio The No.12 Collection No.1 – Stool is a striking piece that encapsulates No.12’s deep rooted design ethos. Their design aesthetic is wholly contemporary yet respectfully classic. No.12 Studio’s design is bold, comfortable and elegantly masculine.

Holding craftsmanship in high regard, they combine warm materials with clean lines, and fine detailing.

Part of a wider collection due to be launched September 2020 the stool is that of a unique design holding its own within any residential space it inhabits.

Playing with the preconception of tradition and modernity, No.12 incorporates contemporary insertions of marble with traditional British casting practices. The carefully considered proportions arrive at the perfect combination of the three materials creating a dramatic and luxurious aesthetic. Softness is added to the piece through upholstery wrapping in a rich desaturated blue velvet, only interrupted by the insertion of two 30mm honed ‘Arabescato’ marble discs.

IMAGINE BY VISIONNAIRE Date Completed: June 2020 Interior Designer: Mauro Lipparini Designed to offer the utmost in both comfort and modern design, Imagine is a uniquely styled bergère armchair from Visionnaire.

The lacquered wood structure with an almost abstract, dynamic shape seems to reassemble its exuberance through a reinforced leather belt, becoming a tensor and armrest at the same time. The body, stretched in angular geometries, allows for optimal comfort, and excellent support.

Imagine’s design represents a sense of modern aesthetic and ergonomic well-being that comes from distant sensations and memories, brought to life through delicate furnishing harmonies.

C1 - LOUNGE CHAIR BY JOHANNES BUDDE Date Completed: 2020 Interior Designer: Johannes Budde The C1 Lounge Chair is the synthesis of a minimalist, timeless form and an adaptable seating system – designed for modern flexibility. With its subtle yet elegant appearance, C1 fits into different contexts with great ease: Like a sculpture, it enriches fashion boutiques, hotel lobbies or private living rooms.

The design benefits from its vitality which originates from intuitive hand drawing, this results in an organic form that is particularly pleasant to the viewer’s eyes. Depending on the perspective, the design seems to vary between two and three-dimensionality which gives it a special character.

CHAIR OBJET BY MAISON ARABELLA Date Completed: June 2019 Interior Designer: Maison Arabella A solid brass structure creates a sleek minimalist silhouette contrasted with the soft curves of the upholstery, evoking sculpted elegance.

When envisioning their first upholstery piece, Maison Arabella wanted to create something that would elevate any interior and add personality. The inspiration derives from modernist classics which were reinterpreted in a way that befits their own design ethos and aesthetics.

Born from Maison Arabella’s considered approach to design, the choice of genuine materials applied in a new and experiential way has been a core element of the design.

The clean lines and soft curves result in a fusion of the feminine and the masculine.

QUILTED MAPLE EXTENDING DINING TABLE

BY BARING FURNITURE Date Completed: July 2019 Interior Designer: Jonathan Baring Jonathan Baring was asked by a longstanding private client to design and make an extending dining table. The team created a design that worked aesthetically in both states. In terms of functionality, they developed a robust extension mechanism inspired by the extending ladder mechanism used on fire engines.

Baring Furniture wanted to create something sculptural, to sit amongst the client’s collection of modern art, so ensured the free-form composition of the base was influenced by Barbara Hepworth’s work in stone sculpture.

The tabletop is veneered in quilted walnut and finished in a luxurious gloss lacquer.

The brass trim unifies the tabletop and base. The resulting table is a manifestation of Baring Furniture’s philosophy and an attempt to demonstrate the best of British craftsmanship. The meticulously arranged sculptural base, composed of several interlocking ring elements in brushed brass, gives the table a sense of balance.

TABLE OBJET BY MAISON ARABELLA Date Completed: October 2019 Interior Designer: Maison Arabella Minimalist yet impactful, the Table Objet duo combine to create a sustainable lasting piece that offers a sophisticated versatility.

Table Objet embodies Arabella’s vision of creating a piece that fulfils artistry with sustainability. For her, furniture should be looked at for its daily use, and whether it is utilised or not, a furniture piece should energise an environment in the same way a painting or sculpture does. This approach is particularly true for the Table Objet, for which the vision was to create a versatile piece whose originality is expressed in both the design and the use of raw materials in a way that exalts them.

The design uses an innovative new technique to make a resin and marble surface. Celebrating British making, Maison Arabella worked with a craftsman based in East London to develop a sophisticated terrazzo-style design with a modern, seamless look.

RANIERI TABLE BY MARTA SALA EDITIONS Date Completed: 2018 Interior Designer: Marta Sala Editions + Lazzarini & Pickering The purpose of Marta Sala Éditions is to offer more on demand furniture, which is unique in both quality and knowledge, yet remains accessible. The Ranieri Tables are yet another reflection of this.

The Ranieri Tables are part of the fantastic Collection IV “Frames”. This collection was born from the essence of the drawing of architects Lazzarini & Pickering with a new lightness and a rediscovered purity of forms, supported by the astonishing quality of realization of Marta Sala’s craftsmen. With a sophisticated and gentle appearance, the top is circular in Calcutta gold lightened marble that resembles that of a parchment sheet. The structure is originally realized in the form of a succession of thin tubular elements in polish brass like the rope of a harp; each one is inserted by hand from the base into the supporting brass circle, in order to avoid any type of visible welding.

THE BROADWAY COFFEE TABLE BY DAVIDSON LONDON Date Completed: 2020 Interior Designer: Davidson London Pushing the boundaries of contemporary style, the Broadway Coffee Table combines cutting-edge materials with unforgettable form, representing a commitment to all that is aesthetically outstanding in design. Inspired by the Broadway market in Hackney, and Regent’s canal which winds its way through this iconic London neighbourhood, the design creates a sense of flowing water, a river meandering through the city, alongside the mechanical sturdiness of the canal locks.

Nature meets industry in the Broadway, whose impressive profile gives this piece a strong personality and distinct character.

A powerful and style-savvy choice for your interior, this coffee table expresses a deep understanding of technique and form and represents a new post-modern direction for DAVIDSON London.

Creativity and progressive craftsmanship join forces in this contemporary coffee table. A statement piece that would suit light and airy modern interiors but could also add modern-day edge to a darker room.

VITHAL JESSE BY ST. JAMES INTERIORS Date Completed: April 2019 Interior Designer: Pritesh Lad The Vithal Jesse was designed to showcase the quality of St. James Interiors design and craftsmanship. It was always a dream for Pritesh Lad, Owner of St. James Interiors, to have a business that created amazing bespoke joinery and with the launch of the company Pritesh wanted to design and manufacture a piece that demonstrated everything that St. James Interiors stands for.

The original idea came from creating a ‘wow factor’ desk for a home study or office, where one could store a bottle of wine or drink at one end of the table, like a wine rack. The team chose walnut because they felt that with its beautiful colour and grains in the way St James Interiors cut the wood would only enhance the design. In addition, due to the grains not being so heavy there was less chance of the timbers splitting.

THE RIVINGTON DINING TABLE BY DAVIDSON LONDON Date Completed: 2020 Interior Designer: DAVIDSON London Taking inspiration from the interlocking D’s that form the DAVIDSON London monogram, the Rivington Dining Table is a dazzling demonstration of the energetic potential of 21st century design. With a potent duo of bespoke finishes - satin sycamore silk and high-gloss sycamore black - and offset by brushed brass metalwork, the Rivington reveals an exciting new direction for DAVIDSON London.

Radiating a relaxed poise, the Rivington is a statement dining table unashamedly contemporary in its outlook. Influenced by the crisp glamour of the luxury yacht aesthetic, its streamlined profile and highly polished black-white pairing has a hint of the nautical. Inspiration for the Rivington also comes from the two-tone tradition of contemporary artists, notably Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona Pavilion. Combining two powerful shades in this binary way expresses a confident minimalism and ultra-modern character. Both versatile and distinct, the Rivington represents a truly contemporary update on the classic dining table.

NO.12 COLLECTION NO.1 – COFFEE TABLE BY NO.12 STUDIO Date Completed: March 2020 Interior Designer: No.12 Studio A luxurious contemporary coffee table that encapsulates No.12 Studio’s deep rooted design ethos. Their design aesthetic is wholly contemporary yet respectfully classic. The design is bold, comfortable and elegantly masculine. Holding craftsmanship in high regard, the designers combine warm materials with clean lines, and fine detailing.

No.12 Studio’s Coffee Table is a celebration of three perfectly and thoughtfully composed materials, Invisible grey marble, satin brass and clear Perspex. The solid Italian Invisible Grey marble base grounds the whole piece providing support for the floating Perspex delivering a visually clean yet impactful silhouette.

The solid slab of 50mm cantilevered Perspex with grand proportions counterbalances on top of just two supporting brass rods.

The crystal water-like quality is enhanced through the precise execution of the Perspex mitre detail. The brass rods pierce through the central marble base allowing the Perspex cantilever to appear weightlessly suspended in air.

ESSE 72 TABLE BY REFLEX SPA Date Completed: April 2019 Designer: Reflex Spa The Esse 72 Table was born from the innovative vision of Luciano Lucatello (aka Tulcinsky) who, with his strong ability to shape and form glass, has brought to the market a table that combines both fluidity and sculptural lines.

Esse 72 is a dining table, with bases created from smoothly curved glass, designed to be either completely transparent or in Marble.

The table also features a satin finished base and uses Reflex Spa’s patent Lazy Susan technology.

The key characteristic of the exquisitely designed table is the sinuous base that interprets the letter “S”. The base allows the table to become completely self-supporting and stand strongly. Reflex Spa are innovative and are always revolutionising the forms that they work with. Depending on the size of the table desired, it can be customised to have a single-leg or multi-leg style, meaning it won’t lose its strong character.

THE DHAN BY ST. JAMES INTERIORS Date Completed: December 2018 Interior Designer: Pritesh Lad St. James Interiors designed The Dhan Desk to be placed in the study of a luxury, state of the art residential property located in Windsor. This incredible sculptural piece enhances its surroundings and establishes a strong dynamic presence to the study. The design brief required St. James Interiors to create a modern, yet classic look that fit in with the design ethos of the residence. The inspiration for the Dhan originated from the sleek and sharp angles incorporated within the architecture of the estate. The triangular and hexagonal forms enabled St. James Interiors to create illusions from certain angles, and through the intricate use of angles and bold modern colours, fused with traditional brass detailing, the style of modern art deco is achieved.

The Dhan is completed with a solid walnut drawer, a high gloss gun metal finish, and satin brass inlays, creating the perfect power desk that the client desired.

HOUSE OF CHAMBERY BY TAILORED INTERIOR INC. Location: Canada Date Completed: February 2020 Interior Designer: Tailored Interior Inc. Construction Company: Tailored Interior Inc. House of Chambery is a full renovation project, where creativity and collaboration play major roles in the design and craftsmanship of this custom residence.

The layered textures and design elements complement each feature of the home to create a breath-taking yet liveable result.

Inspired by the designer’s visit to London, Tailored Interior Inc re-evaluated her design approach to push the boundaries of her capabilities. House of Chambery was driven by the experience of acknowledging global design, with influences from London’s own culture, beauty, and magic in the architecture and visual design of the city.

Though Tailored Interior Inc used this project to explore and expand her design ideas, the house also had to remain functional and family friendly. Comfort was always in the foreground of the approach and was never compromised for design.

MIMOSA VILLA BY GEOSEM Location: Spain Date Completed: 2019 Interior Designer: GEOSEM The idea of Villa 26 in the Mimosa development on Las Colinas Golf & Country has been to create a villa where you have everything you desire, on just one level. The design also aims to take full advantage of the privileged location and the beautiful, long hours of sunlight in this area of Spain.

The beach area is designed like an infinity pool filling up the real pool below. The floating stairs which are under-lit, lead to the second terrace which offers not only space to enjoy the unique weather but also access to the pool and the chill-out area.

Mimosa Villa has been designed to take advantage of the sunlight and the views, while preserving the privacy of the residents.

The existing trees and plants have been preserved, and the house has been built with a minimal impact on the forest and the walls created with local stones.

POLY ONE DIDANG ISLAND

BY HARMONY WORLD CONSULTANT & DESIGN Location: China Date Completed: March 2019 Interior Designer: Harmony World Consultant & Design The project is located in the core of Shaoxing Didang New Town, China. Didang Lake Park is adjacent to the future West Lake of Shaoxing of Didang New Town with unique lakeshore scenery and urban park landscape.

Traditionally, people would say that Chinese style, in terms of interior design, would focus on heavy redwood and woodwork and solemn colours throughout. However, the HWCD design team aimed to combine the elegance of East London with a less traditional Oriental style, creating a more modern Chinese aesthetic. Instead, the designers have kept things bright, airy and neutral to mirror the natural surroundings of the property.

There are no obvious or stark Chinese symbols in the entire space. From beginning to end, the interiors are permeated with the unique serenity and generosity of the east, revealing the beautiful pursuit of the artistic conception of elegant life in the east.

HOLLYWOOD BEACH RESIDENCE BY SARAH Z DESIGNS Location: Hollywood Beach, Florida Date Completed: September 2019 Architect: CDG Miami Interior Designer: Sarah Z Designs

The client brief for this project was to design a newly built duplex house located in the cultural area of Nagano city, where the Winter Olympics were held in 1998. The two couples have requested to have their individual units in order to respect each other’s privacy.

Hollywood Beach Residence by Sarah Z Designs was nothing less than a full gut renovation, tearing down interiors, walls and adding square footage to create an open concept, design and construction with turnkey delivery.

The architecture was designed to have the serenity surrounded by nature in contrast with the urban atmosphere in the city. The interior designer maintained the idea of the architecture and integrated the clients’ personality to the design by carefully selecting materials and the beautiful layers of colours.

Sarah Z Designs created an open concept layout to provide a more inviting environment to make the task of entertaining guests easier. They gutted walls, integrated higher ceilings and designed a new lighting plan to bring in more natural daylight. In turn, they utilised technological systems, creating a smart home to control every aspect of how the house operates.

Studio Cotan aimed to represent the unclear border between the interior and exterior, which was the overall design goal of this project. The designer managed to merge the techniques of traditional Japanese houses and the modern scheme. The spacious entrance hall facing a small garden with glass wall partitions brings the exterior into the interior.

146 The International Design & Architecture Awards - Volume 11

In the entry foyer as well as the floors throughout the condo, textures and colours were used that illustrate sand on the beach.

The design was achievable through the clever use of light and shadow, stimulating views of the ocean, plants, patterns, shapes, textures and materials that distinctly reflect the natural environment. The condo consequently easily floats on top of the Atlantic Ocean beneath it.

SURREY RENOVATION BY ANNABELLE HOLLAND DESIGNS Date Completed: December 2019 Interior Designer: Annabelle Holland Designs Developer: Roman Record This project involved the complete renovation of a family home in Surrey for wine loving owners and their growing family.

The design brief for Annabelle Holland Design was to provide a complete redesign of the house, the roof being the only thing remaining in place, every other aspect of the house was changed, including the walls and floor level.

One of the key elements of the brief was to make the owner’s wine collection take centre stage and create something truly unique. Annabelle Holland Design created a bespoke, temperature controlled, glass walled, wine room, with herringbone wine racks to mirror the herringbone flooring.

The room created a divider between the hall and the open plan kitchen and dining room - literally placing the wine collection at the centre of the entertaining spaces. The glass walls also allowed light through into the otherwise dark hall and created views from the hall into the garden through the wine room.

PRIVATE RESIDENCE SUNNY VALLEY BY BOLSHAKOVA INTERIORS Location: Ukraine Date Completed: 2018 Interior Designer: Bolshakova Interiors Private Residence Sunny Valley is a country house which has been designed to be an elegant and refined house for a family with a child, where every detail matters. These days it’s not enough to live in a beautiful space, a home needs to be imbued with meaning, and the completion of this residence is a vivid confirmation that perfect interior design must be based on thinking laterally and openly.

Dark colours have been used in the bedroom, a controversial choice, however human psychology suggests that in dark colours, we feel more comfortable and protected. The residential design is filled with colours and collectables from all over the world and paintings from the owner’s personal collection. Through the process of decorating, the designer created a truly individual style. Complex but unique solutions create a truly luxurious interior, while classical and modern features combine effortlessly and even the smallest details are brought to perfection.

BURJ KHALIFA RESIDENCES – 105 FLOOR BY CK ARCHITECTURE INTERIORS Location: Dubai Date Completed: January 2020 Interior Designer: Cem Kapancioglu (CK Architecture Interiors LLC) Architect: Cem Kapancioglu (CK Architecture Interiors LLC) Construction Company: Bahr Ibdaa Décor LLC Unity is the result of when elements in a space combine to make a balanced, harmonious, and complete whole. This is what CK Architecture has achieved with their project on the 105th Floor of the Burj Khalifa. The designers spent a lot of time on the concept stage to ensure that the client and his family were at the forefront of the design, with their lifestyle and requirements being considered. \ A light colour palette was chosen for the walls and floors of the residence to allow each ‘room’ to flow into each other and create unity within the space. In doing this, the perception of space is altered as the open spacial planning seems to expand the available space in the property. The furnishing elements create a contrast in themselves, however in creating this contrast in the design, they are in harmony with the concept.

WHAT THE FARMHOUSE BY D’AMORE INTERIORS Location: Colorado, USA Date Completed: November 2019 Interior Designer: Gina D’Amore Bauerle Architect: Karen Sund Construction Company: Kirella Homes This custom new build was a blank canvas for D’Amore Interiors, the brief was to design a “modern glam farmhouse”. The homeowners desired a private sanctuary for themselves that would provide all the spaces their lives required, from a cook’s kitchen, his and hers private home offices, and a basement level for their teenage son to inhabit.

This home sits on a mountainside with nature in view in nearly every space. The designers used colour to draw, and in some cases, distract from certain elements. For example, D’Amore Interiors created a clean black and white kitchen so that the views of nature out the windows became the art.

The blue accents in the master bedroom played off of the beautiful blue water of the swimming pool just outside their windows.

In contrast, her home office features her favourite colour fuchsia so that there was no confusion that you were entering her personal space.

RED HOUSE, CHESHIRE BY DESIGN BY UBER Location: Cheshire Date Completed: March 2020 Interior Designer: Design by UBER Construction Company: Murphy & Tweats This distinctive property which boasts an exceptionally imposing façade was recently purchased by the client and was in need of extensive modernisation. Design by UBER were commissioned to undertake a complete renovation and refurbishment of every internal aspect of the house. The property boasts numerous features and internal level changes with a vast array of accommodation laid across three floors.

The requirement was for a modern and stylish home. Whilst design schemes were to be practical and informal, every element was to be underpinned with a sub-text of glamour. Every finish throughout the house to be of the highest standard. With a property such as this, it was crucial for Design by Uber to ensure a design scheme that offers a seamless and harmonious journey from one space to the next. Carefully crafted skirtings and architraves, elegant three panel ebonised internal doors and bespoke cabinetry throughout the house help to ensure a boutique and coherent feel.

WRAP HOUSE BY JW ARCHITECTS LTD Location: UK Date Completed: July 2019 Interior Designer: JW Architects Ltd Wrap House is a contemporary family home designed and built to the highest standard.

The form was developed in response to the context of the site and in collaboration with the client’s desire for a house which would precisely meet their requirements.

The two opposing blocks of accommodation were designed around three axes of main circulation routes through the house.

A central atrium between the two blocks strengthens the main axis allowing light to penetrate deep into the property which connects the user with the outside in three different directions. The central atrium allows for one main referencing point which connects the other two main axes within the house and which all the main spaces feed off from. The protective wrap brings cohesion to the design by encapsulating the blocks, providing an architectural gesture to circulate the user to the front door and atrium space of the house as well as creating the architectural language for Wrap House.

In terms of design, they have adventured into the future without an ignorance towards their heritage. This project is a mix of old and new; modern and classical, and a combination of many cultures and backgrounds.

Open to Mirabello Interiors’ whimsical design ideas, the owners allowed the creative team to exercise a creative liberty that is uncommon in the region. Their design team treated the architectural finishes of the home as the canvas for the collection of art and furniture. Rather than competing, each of the elements supported the other, while being individually viable. Therefore, the end result is welcoming rather than imposing. Curating and incorporating the wide variety of art and furniture was a challenge for Mirabello Interiors, though it became the reason that the finished product was so unique.

QUARRY HOUSE BY RKD ARCHITECTS Location: Park City, Utah, USA Architect: RKD Architects Interior Designer: Erin Martin Design Construction Company: Go West Development Quarry House consists of three nearly transparent pods, each with a curved, outward learning window wall that draws the occupants to stunning ranch land views toward Kimbell Junction and the north. Most of the structure of the home was modelled digitally. Then it was crafted; fitted together; finished; disassembled and packaged and shipped to the side. This allowed the huge curved outward leaning glass walls to come together seamlessly on site.

The key aspect of this project is the natural transparent character of the home which draws the Mountains and Valleys in and the occupants out, the Master suite also focuses on the ski area to the West.

This home absorbs its persona from the surrounding Wasatch Mountain Range in Park City, Utah. Its lines are bold gestures that reflect the grandeur of the landscape and its huge, sweeping curves are on a scale that stands up to the expansive views in all directions.

MAYFAIR HOUSE BY ARISTA DESIGN LTD Location: London, United Kingdom Date Completed: November 2019 Interior Designer: Arista Design Ltd Architect: Bickerdike Allen Partners Developer: Caudwell Collection Construction Company: Size Group London Ltd Arista Design worked with Bickerdike Allen Partners and Size Group London Ltd on this opulent project from the beginning through planning permission to final details, taking a whole 6 years from start to finish.

The design brief was for a ‘home like no other’. Arista Design Ltd were to incorporate design aspects in the home that were fun, adventurous and quirky. Many specialists and artisans were needed for such unique pieces throughout the property, for example marquetry using specialist materials like mother of pearl with shagreen inlay and specialist upholsterers for handwoven embroidery were essential for a project to this scale.

The final design of the project works particularly well because the house was split up into eight different zones within the design and build process, each area has a distinctly different feel, so it’s almost as if you’ve entered a completely different environment when you move from zone to zone throughout the house.

SKY LANE BY DE LOREN & ASSOCIATES Location: Los Angeles, California Date Completed: June 2019 Architect: de Loren & Associates Interior Designer: de Loren & Associates, Pauline Moghavam Developer: Barry Simzar’s Channel Development Construction Company: Channel Development Located in West Los Angeles alongside remarkable architectural projects like The Getty Center, the curved design of Sky Lane follows the natural curvature provided by the steep hillside of the Brentwood hills.

The house steps down with the hillside and is part of the existing landscape rather than an imposed structure on the hillside.

Unlike any other home in Los Angeles, visitors enter Sky Lane through its roof.

Sky Lane has a unique dynamic facade that wraps around the residence and provides it with a look like no other. The facade is composed of an exterior skeleton that is offset from the building and offers complex curvature to the residence. The design of the pool went hand in hand with the design of the house, following the dynamic curvature, allowing the pool to wrap around the terrace and encompass every view available. The 75-foot infinity pool offers a jacuzzi, Baja and a swim-up bar.

BELLEVUE HILL HOUSE BY ALEXANDRA KIDD DESIGN Location: Australia Date Completed: November 2019 Interior Designer: Alexandra Kidd Design With a brief that referenced the Obamas’ post-White House home, the finished home is timeless, with a focus on luxury and scale. The clients, inveterate travellers with a penchant for the US, had long fallen in love with the luxurious homes dotted along America’s East Coast. They envied the openplan living spaces and generously scaled rooms with their relaxed elegance.

The design brief was simple enough, but the execution and delivery was on a grand scale all of its own. The expansive 5-bedroom, 4-level family home felt anything but spacious. A series of additions in a previous renovation had muddled the floor plan, resulting in a compartmentalised layout that separated the kitchen from living space.

It was important to be respectful of the history of the house and its long personal story with the owners. All original features of the home were retained and reinforced, the designers also kept the client’s favourite antique pieces of furniture and reupholstered old classics.

KOLOMUO BY DE REUS ARCHITECTS Location: Hawaii Date Completed: December 2018 Architect: de Reus Architects Interior Designer: Philpotts Interiors A series of pavilions interlocked together representative of the Japanese concept ‘Ma’, de Reus Architects’ project Kolomuo serves to celebrate the space between structures, creating transition and drama.

Set alongside an 1801 lava flow on the Leeward Coast of Hawaii’s Big Island, the 8,000 square foot, four-bedroom Kolomuo Residence was designed with a modern island architectural style that connects the homeowner to nature, the region and the local culture. Informed by modernism and experience in Hawaii, de Reus Architects used Japanese design philosophies and a sense of restraint as the driving factors underpinning the aesthetics of the home.

The overall layout is representative of the Japanese concept of ‘Ma’, which celebrates space between structures for transition and subtle drama. As such, each segment of the home is organized into a series of interlocking yet separate pavilions, which result in significant use of negative space between each.

TWENTY GROSVENOR SQUARE, MAYFAIR BY FINCHATTON Date Completed: September 2019 Interior Designer: Finchatton Architect: Squires & Partners Developer: Finchatton Construction Company: Multiplex Twenty Grosvenor Square in Mayfair is the first standalone Private Residences from Four Seasons. The 250,000 square foot former US Naval Headquarters has 37 private residences as well as an incredible complement of amenities serviced by Four Seasons and designed by Finchatton.

The brief was threefold: to create a welcoming space that transports you from the hustle and bustle of Mayfair into a place of calm and respite the moment you step into the building; to retain the heritage and history of the building and area.

At the very heart of the brief, heritage and history played an important part. Once the home of the US Naval Forces in Europe and frequented by the likes of General Dwight Eisenhower during the Second World War, Twenty Grosvenor Square is steeped in history. Masterful architectural detailing acknowledges the history and character of the building, and the new development has been lovingly created behind the retained historical façade of Grosvenor Square.

FLEEMAN CHATEAU BY GODDARD DESIGN GROUP Location: Rogers, Arkansas, USA Date Completed: June 2019 Architect: Bill Fleeman Interior Designer: Chris Goddard, Goddard Design Group Construction Company: Dynamic Development, Inc. Custom designed and built by the owner, this French-inspired chateau presides over 300 acres and commands a spectacular view of a lush valley in Rogers, Arkansas.

Artisans were commissioned to produce custom furnishings, bronze railing, plaster moulding, and murals created by a trompe l’oeil artist who was previously commissioned for Gianni Versace’s residences.

The two travelled extensively in the United States and abroad to locate the perfect fabrics, period furniture, and architectural pieces for every inch of the expansive home, as well as important outdoor statuary for the gardens.

Chris’s favourite aspect of the project was the close relationship that was forged between himself and Jeannie. Most clients hire designers for a finite job and tend to stay within their comfort zone. In the case of Jeannie on the other hand, she was an active participant in the selection of all items and loved learning about new items and techniques.

CLAPHAM HOUSE BY KAAP STUDIO ARCHITECTS Location: Clapham, London Interior Designer: Kaap Studio Architects Architect: Kaap Studio Architects Construction Company: Green Sheen Construction The Clapham House project consists of a contemporary two storey glass addition to a Victorian double-fronted detached house.

The proposed extension completely changes the dynamic of the upper ground floor.

The brief for Kaap Studio Architects was to open up the upper ground floor and provide space for the family to enjoy. It was crucial to maintain the feel of the existing balcony whilst also eliminating the level difference on the upper ground floor level.

This level could then be connected with the garden while providing extra space for living quarters for potential future use. This added light, a sense of space and continuity and created a view, from the front door through to the garden. Views were a key consideration for Kaap Studio Architects – from the front door to the garden, from the family area and kitchen to the garden, from the lower-level living quarters to the garden.

It’s a comfortable, paired back aesthetic, usable, wide whitened oak planks on a white backdrop with graphite window frames with deep architecture pressed revels and then key designer pieces of furniture. Rigby & Rigby have maximised the main space, which is warm, cosy and acoustically allows for conversation, the open plan dining opposite the kitchen is great when hosting dinner parties. The clients chose this area as they have always loved the countryside and this space fully immerses you into the natural environment.

JASHN BAGH BY CASA PARADOX Location: Telegana India Date completed: October 2019 Architect: Raseel Gujral Ansal Construction Company: Primo Projects Ltd. Spread over half an acre of prime land at Hyderabad’s posh jubilee hills, this 28000sqft home for an affluent Indian business family showcases the latest technological and opulence that is achievable today. The brief given was to develop a grand layout with key features present in India’s pricey mansions of yore.

The bi-axial layout for the building, the primary axis from the main entrance to the stairwell and the perpendicular corridor axis running through the length of the building help to add to the grand feel.

The house has four levels: the basement, ground floor, first floor and second floor.

The purpose of the property was to create a grandiose design with a free-flowing layout which was achieved through the use of luxurious fixtures, fittings and features. The bespoke personalisation of each room is what sets the property apart because each room has been carefully thought out and designed.

KOLOMUO BY DE REUS ARCHITECTS Location: Hawaii Date Completed: December 2018 Architect: de Reus Architects Interior Designer: Philpotts Interiors A series of pavilions interlocked together representative of the Japanese concept ‘Ma’, de Reus Architects’ project Kolomuo serves to celebrate the space between structures, creating transition and drama.

Set alongside an 1801 lava flow on the Leeward Coast of Hawaii’s Big Island, the 8,000 square foot, four-bedroom Kolomuo Residence was designed with a modern island architectural style that connects the homeowner to nature, the region and the local culture. Informed by modernism and experience in Hawaii, de Reus Architects used Japanese design philosophies and a sense of restraint as the driving factors underpinning the aesthetics of the home.

The overall layout is representative of the Japanese concept of ‘Ma’, which celebrates space between structures for transition and subtle drama. As such, each segment of the home is organized into a series of interlocking yet separate pavilions, which result in significant use of negative space between each.

CRAFTED COURTYARD HOUSE BY DMVF ARCHITECTS Location: Dublin, Ireland Date Completed: 2019 Architect: Colm Doyle & Amanda Bate Interior Designer: Ryle & Co Construction Company: Smartbuild Ltd. The Crafted Courtyard House is an example of a project where DMVF Architects have ‘crafted’ a home, rather than simply build it, by considering the historical and environmental context, the needs of the family and the many meanings the original house and the new home have for them.

The house was to include an open plan space for the young family that would not feel stark and impersonal. As the original house is a Protected Structure, it was important to respect the original rooms and proportions. DMVF Architects employed best conservation practices to restore many historic features including brickwork, timberwork, fireplaces, a threestorey central staircase, windows and stained glass. Brick is at the heart of the design. This traditional material allowed DMVF Architects to craft the extension as three dynamic yet modern spaces to suit the family, anchored around a large brick chimney.

WITKLIPFONTEIN ECO LODGE BY GLH ARCHITECTS Location: Vredefort, Free State, South Africa Date Completed: December 2018 Architect: Xavier Huyberechts and Damien Huyberechts Interior Designer: Xavier Huyberechts and Damien Huyberechts Construction Company: Damien Huyberechts Developer: Xavier Huyberechts and Damien Huyberechts Witklipfontein Eco Lodge by GLH Architects embodies modern sustainability, returning to forgotten design and building techniques.

A showcase project in the field of green building. The lodge was designed to blend and disappear into the surrounding nature.

Witklipfontein Eco Lodge is one of the original farms of The Vredefort Dome, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The aim was to have GLH Architects rethink the concept of house/lodge afresh by returning to the use of vernacular building techniques that are more respectful of the environment, while re-interpreting them in a modern way. Many of these techniques have been lost to easy and fast cement-based building techniques.

The climate in the Free State region with its large thermal daily variance of 20 degrees lends itself to the use of the principle of Thermal Mass instead of mechanical airconditioning. The thermal mass flattens the temperatures throughout the year by using thick stone walls, earth walls, and the green roof.

BIRCH TREE HOUSE BY SUSI LEETON ARCHITECTS + INTERIORS Location: Melbourne, Australia Date Completed: April 2019 Architect: Susi Leeton Architects + Interiors Interior Designer: Susi Leeton Architects + Interiors Construction Company: Visioneer Builders The aim for Birch Tree house was to create a gentle sculptural but robust family home set amongst a beautiful restful garden. The design brief was to create a 4 bedroom home with various family areas maximising the long north (maximum sun) aspect leading towards a beautiful pool. The approach both internally and externally was to create a dialogue of poetic curved volumes, light and delicate details as a background canvas for a busy family life. The volumes of space are soft sculptural forms that overlap and intersect creating workable family zones both inside and out. Natural light and soft materials were selected to create a chiaroscuro of light and shade. Finishes were deliberately refined and tonal. Texture being the main player. Natural limestone, oak timber floor, polished plaster walls, linen curtains were the understated palette.

The walls being polished concrete create a shimmering effect throughout every space.

URBAN INDUSTRIAL ABODE

BY VELD ARCHITECTS Location: Bryanston, Johannesburg Date completed: November 2019 Architects: Gillian Holl, Veld Architects Construction Company: Kintro Construction Veld Architects have designed a suburban family home which offers a natural flow of living and space, by blurring the lines between interior and exterior design.

Situated in a panhandle estate, this courtyard home forms part of the context through the inclusion of integrated open sections, large windows and outdoor areas which creates a flow throughout the house, leading to interesting views and vistas.

The clients’ brief for Veld Architects was to maximise the available space as much as possible, and also allow them to enjoy garden living. The homeowner’s design vision was to merge masculine architecture with a soft, natural influence. Veld Architects were able to fulfil the masculinity using a linear design, completed with contrasting tones and raw materials. Large scale openings and glass boxes open up to the context of suburbia in order to integrate with the home’s wider environment, though an internal courtyard offers privacy should it be desired.

CASA W BY ROBERT TOWELL ARCHITECT Location: Canal Drive – Cayman Islands Date Completed: July 2019 Architect: Robert Towell Architect – RIBA Interior Designer: Robert Towell Architect – RIBA Developer: Architectural Consultants LTD Sleek and sophisticated, with an air of simplicity and calm, this spectacular property by Robert Towell Architect is a perfectly polished private retreat - but one that can be transformed into a party house at the touch of a button.

From the main street, the 6,000 square foot canal front property appears to be a series of modern white box-like structures of varying heights, with few windows — apart from a glass-encased stair tower, giving no indication that inside these walls lies a light and spacious open concept floor plan home, with a seamless indoor-outdoor flow and an air of tasteful tranquillity. The design brief that Robert Towell Architect received from the owners was to design and build something that was rare at the time in the Cayman Islands: a Spanish-style ultramodern home, dominated by clean modern lines, white walls and floors, and plenty of glass to allow natural light into each space.

MALANGEN BY SNORRE STINESSEN ARCHITECTURE Date Completed: September 2017 Interior Designer: Snorre Stinessen Architecture Malangen is a residential retreat designed with a focus on creating a close connection between the surrounding landscape and a homely space for family and friends.

Located an hour´s drive south of Tromsø in Northern Norway, the site is beautifully positioned on a ridge rising from the fiord below and overlooks a natural opening in the forest.

The volumes are all made in wood with the exterior cladding in cedar panel, which was treated with iron sulphate and kept outside for months before assembly to achieve an even patina. The interior surfaces are mainly in knot free oak to achieve a warmer contrast to the outside of the volumes and the wooden volumes are all slightly elevated in relation to the in-between spaces. The ceilings in these spaces are all made of oak slats, treated with iron sulphate and turning black because of the tannin.

EFJORD BY SNORRE STINESSEN ARCHITECTURE Date Completed: September 2017 Interior Designer: Snorre Stinessen Architecture Located on an island called Halvarøy in Northern Norway, Efjord is a residential retreat designed with a focus on creating a close connection to the beautifully, natural surrounding landscape, nature and the local climate.

The site is positioned on a natural ledge in the terrain, overlooking the fiord to the West, two of Norway’s most challenging climbing peaks towards the South and protected by a ridge in the terrain towards the East. The client desired a retreat that focused on the panoramic views of the site, but also transported them to a feeling of isolation and total privacy. The conceptual layout opens and closes the building in different directions, where the Eastern part of the cabin closes towards neighbouring buildings and opens towards a ridge. The opposite directions are sought at the front end of the cabin, opening to the magnificent views towards the dramatic mountains and the fiord to the West.

SLOPE HOUSE BY STUDIO EON Location: South Korea Date Completed: January 2020 Architect: Studio EON Interior Designer: Studio EON The project is located on a gentle slope of a mountainous topography in Wonju city, South Korea. Main design concept for this house is to compose a sloped surface that doubles as roof and facade. The roof is not only an apparatus that gives strong visual impact to residents and visitors, but also a metaphor of the slope of the Kam-Ak mountain at the site. Also, the sculptedout terrace on the roof, which is facing toward the eastern mountain, provides a spectacular view.

Surrounded by mountains, the house blends itself to the environment by having a geometric gesture that resembles topography. By careful considerations regarding the slope of the site and the slope of the roof, it appears to be a part of the site, achieving the design goals. Moreover, the orientation of the house provides spectacular views and daylights to the residents throughout a year.

ARDEN BY STUDIO WILLIAM HEFNER Architect: William Hefner Interior Designer: Antonia Hutt Builder: Hanover Builders

ROMERO CANYON BY STUDIO WILLIAM HEFNER Location: Montecito, California Date Completed: 2018 Architect: William Hefner Interior Designer: Kazuko Hoshino

The house follows a tranquil, symmetrical Georgian plan, with tall and elegant proportions. A heavy limestone surround at the front door and a slate roof contribute to the substantial façade. But it is all bright and light at the same time, with the very large steel windows and leafy trees beyond, casting lovely shadows inside on bare white walls.

Built and designed by William Hefner and his late wife Kazuko Hoshino, Romero Canyon is the second home located in Montecito, California which took over 10 years to come to fruition. Indeed, this is a truly fantastic design, which serves to complement the natural environment through its use of natural stone and wood, integrating into the landscape.

For the cabinetwork in particular – whether in the kitchen, the bathrooms, or closets – crisp grids of doors, drawers, and cupboards lie flush and seamless, without mouldings or in most cases, even handles. In the master bathroom, three massive, pure shapes each float in their own space: an egg like oval tub posed in front of a window, the large glass box of the shower, and twin, thick, suspended oblong vanities. Every fixture is a sculpture. Even the pool outside, with its zero edge, becomes a sculpted rectangle.

There are three stone buildings, which are a combination of stone and integrated coloured plaster, mixed with wood-stained cedar on the interior and exterior. All the stone used on the house and in the retaining walls was harvested during the excavation for the pool and foundations. An interesting facet of the design is that there is no paint in the home, a result of a commitment to making sure all materials were natural, inside, and out. There are oak floors with knots, and steel doors and windows throughout. Light plays a crucial part in the home’s design.

TIMELESS CANADIAN LIVING BY INTERIOR CONCEPT STUDIO Location: Shediac, NB Canada Date completed: Spring 2019 Interior Design: Interior Concept Studio Architect: Kub Architecture The renovation of Timeless Canadian Living has provided the family with much needed space by opening up the living, dining and entertainment areas. The intricate elements in the detailed ceiling, custom fireplace and custom millwork inject elegance into this family home designed and refurbished by Interior Concept Studio.

A key element of this design was to retain its functionality as a family home.

Interior Concept Studio manifested visual separations for each area whilst keeping the grandness of the large-scale open space by creating a practical furniture layout to distinguish each different ‘room’. Pertaining to Interior Concept Studio’s colours and design scheme, the designers opted for a natural and soothing neutral palette. The house has been transformed into a warm and inviting open space, allowing anyone to feel at home instantly. Incorporating open concept living spaces has meant that the social homeowners are able to host their friends and family comfortably.

KOLOMUO BY DE REUS ARCHITECTS Location: Hawaii Date Completed: December 2018 Architect: de Reus Architects Interior Designer: Philpotts Interiors Construction Company: Maryl Construction The overall layout of Kolomuo is representative of the Japanese concept of ‘Ma’, which celebrates space between structures for transition and subtle drama.

As such, each segment of the home is organized into a series of interlocking yet separate pavilions, which result in significant use of negative space between each.

The finish materials were selected for their natural beauty and durability, as well as their contribution to the minimalist aesthetic and quiet sense of restraint.

From locally sourced volcanic lava stones used for the site walls, to volcanic basalt stone incorporated into the flooring, natural materials are found throughout the private residence.

The design of the home is successful due to the use of negative space between pavilions for transition space. These spaces were opportunities for experiential graciousness and highlighted a sense of arrival at each pavilion. The resulting home is comfortable yet refined in quality with a timeless architectural character.

BEACH HOUSE

SPA BUNGALOW BY DENTON HOUSE DESIGN STUDIO Location: Great Guana Cay, Abaco Islands of the Bahamas Interior Designer: Rebecca Buchan, Kimberly Bevan, Meredith Zinn Architect: Raul Lastra Principle of Vitalini Corazzini Developer: Discovery Land Company Construction: Starfish Construction The client wanted to incorporate her New York roots and love of art collecting to this island oasis. The high ceilings and large windows help to make this space clean and inviting with the use of beautiful custom furniture, organic wood pieces, and lighting.

This project stands the test of time with handcrafted pieces, natural palette, and iconic accents. Denton House Design Studio created a home to allow life to be simple yet sophisticated at the beach! Given the setting, Denton House Design Studio used as many durable fabrics and materials as possible to allow the homeowners and their guests to feel instantly relaxed in the space. Many of the upholstery fabrics are Perennials brand so they are conducive to indoor-outdoor living. The B&B Italia sofas in the great room are chic and top quality.

Each cushion cover is attached by Velcro so they can easily be removed and cleaned.

A FRAGRANT BREEZE FROM THE EAST BY DUBAI DESIGN GROUP BY LORA BERGIY Location: Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, UAE Date completed: September 2018 Architects: Lora Bergiy Interior Design: Lora Bergiy Developer: Nakheel Properties Construction Company: Dubai Design Group A Fragrant Breeze from The East is a luxury 5-bedroom villa with views of the Dubai Eye and Atlantis, designed by Dubai Design Group by Lora Bergiy. Located on the world’s largest man-made island, Palm Jumeirah, the villa seamlessly blends oriental and modern style, mirroring the client’s personality though his home.

The concept for this property was inspired from the owner, a passionate collector of Eastern masterpieces, purchasing a unique antique door at auction. The exquisite geometry of the door and the antique turquoise was reminiscent of the gates at the East Palace from the 1001 nights Scheherazade fairy tale.

The 2 Storey Mediterranean Atrium Entry was upgraded, extended and modified.

Through the doors into the home, you are greeted with intricate design. Pure lines and geometric arabesque is a new language of traditional Arab architecture and décor which adorns the interiors.

CLASSIC COASTAL HOME

BY INTERIOR CONCEPT STUDIO Location: Shediac, NB Canada Date completed: Spring 2019 Interior Design: Interior Concept Studio Architect: Kub Architecture Construction Company: Martel Custom Home Situated on the edge of the Shediac Bay, Interior Concept Studio provided this young family home with a vibrant and refreshing atmosphere to mirror its coastal surroundings. The occupants wanted their home to blur the boundaries of interior design and exterior setting, by integrating the tones and textures of nature.

With the homeowner’s having a busy family schedule, Interior Concept Studio’s ambition with this project was to create a relaxing and soothing ambience immediately as you enter the property. A necessity for the clients was for a modern elegance within an uncluttered and spacious home.

Interior Concept Studio combined these two perspectives by drawing inspiration of the calming nature surrounding the house. The natural palettes of the interiors permit the colours of the water and beach skies into the many living spaces, and the subtle notes of green in the foliage amplify the allusion to the exterior.

SIGNATURE RESIDENCE BY AALTO EXCLUSIVE DESIGN Location: Marbella, Spain Date Completed: June 2020 Architect: Hugo Torrico Interior Designer: Jana Novakova Developer: Urbania Construction Company: Urbania This stunning contemporary residence is situated on the golf course and provides beautiful sea views. Aalto Exclusive Design worked to incorporate these views by blending them within the interiors of the large open social spaces. The living, dining and kitchen area of this property features an open plan layout and receives an abundance of natural sunlight, making for a beautiful atmosphere and soft harmony with the natural colours of the interiors.

Each room has a different colour scheme, all connected by drawing inspiration from surrounding areas - the olive greens, sea view blues, close mountain greys. Each room also has slightly different style, with varying ethnic accents or mixing of inspirations in order to meet the personal taste of each family member. In the bedrooms, Aalto Exclusive Design used bespoke upholstery artisans which created all the headboards, and bed bases with ethnic fabric, to give extra originality to the project.

MADISON APARTMENTS WARSAW BY KATARZYNA KRASZEWSKA ARCHITEKTURA WNĘTRZ Location: Poland Date Completed: June 2019 Interior Designer: KATARZYNA KRASZEWSKA ARCHITEKTURA WNETRZ Located in Warsaw, this triplex penthouse apartment is inspired by the idea of a live theatre. The large windows represent the theatre curtain, and the breath-taking view of the city plays the role of the spectacle on the stage for all to see.

The client, a theatre costume designer, wanted a New York style apartment, but in the middle of Warsaw. The concept derives from the client’s theatrical passions who wanted to achieve the effect of a live theatre, both inside and outside the apartment.

The interior is modern and elegant, with warm accents creating a cosy atmosphere throughout. The two-flow window is the key feature of the design, working with the ever-changing natural lighting coming from outside to create multiple ambiences. Every element of this project was thought out and refined with the design concept in mind.

Most of the furniture was custom made especially for this project.

181 FREEMONT BY KENDALL WILKINSON DESIGN Location: San Francisco, USA Date Completed: 2018 Interior Designer: Kendall Wilkinson Design The design of this exquisite penthouse speaks to the level of quality and stellar amenities within its host building. The concept and floor plan lend it to both formal and informal gatherings as well as luxurious living on a grand scale.

The apartment is designed to accommodate every need or desire one may have for an upscale, metropolitan lifestyle. The design team designed the interior and outfitted it with everything from the custom floors and rugs to bedding. In contrast to the building’s linear architecture, curvaceous forms, pops of bright colours, fabrics and materials were utilized to create softness and a sense of luxury. The design team used a colour palette of deep turquoise with bold accents of tangerine in the more public spaces while the master suite is quietly elegant in a palette of cream and aubergine. The decor evokes 80’s glamour with its matte metallic accent pieces and curvy furniture silhouettes.

PENTHOUSE WEST399 BY POWERHOUSE COMPANY Location: The Netherlands Date Completed: 2019 Interior Designer: Powerhouse Company West399 started life as a high-quality Modernist building. This renovation began with stripping away these additions to reveal the original beauty of the interior, complete with lofty high ceilings, round columns and mahogany-framed strip windows. The exceptionally rich palette of materials was restored to its former glory: warm brick wood outside, with slate, travertine and solid hardwood inside.

Rich materials and high-quality detailing similarly define the glass-box penthouse structure on the roof. A new addition that develops the European Modernist idiom of the building with a thoughtful contemporary interpretation of its transatlantic incarnation. Originally planned as a twofloor construction, De Ru and Vos changed the design when one of the apartments below failed to sell. The 450m2 penthouse apartment now comprises a one-layer newbuild perching on the roof and surrounded by a roof garden, and a portion of the existing building below that roots it in the original structure.

JACKSON SQUARE BY DENIECE DUSCHEONE DESIGN Location: San Francisco, California Date Completed: 2019 Interior Designer: Deniece Duscheone Design Nestled in the former antiques & design district of San Francisco, this charmingly chic loft unites a charismatic history with a lively modern vibe. Deniece Duscheone Design gave this industrial time capsule an urban facelift.

Deniece Duscheone Design removed all the layers from the 1980’s design and simplified the details, creating a refined, modern experience – what modern city living is all about. By respecting the original bones of the building, the designers were able to uncover a little history of the building and integrate this into the design. The exposed brick wall became a key feature of the apartment, adding much character and charm. This home tells an interesting story and celebrates the history of San Francisco, whilst also maintaining an exquisitely lustrous aesthetic. Jackson Square is sleek and modern, with a rustic feel flowing through each room, giving away clues into city life during the San Francisco gold-era.

BANGKOK PENTHOUSE - BATHROOM BY DESIGN INTERVENTION Location: Bangkok Thailand Date Completed: November 2019 Interior Designer: Design Intervention This is a 5,200 square foot penthouse apartment located in the most prime location in central Bangkok with glorious 270-degree views across the city. The client is a bachelor in his 30’s and the original layout had been designed for family living.

Design Intervention have reconfigured the generous floor plan to better suit the needs of his bachelor lifestyle, allocating a far larger proportion of the apartment for his personal space.

Design Interventions design is a fluid continuation of the bedroom design so that all the spaces feel wholly integrated. A crisp, fresh contemporary space but also one that felt warm and welcoming. The white based stone is fresh and crisp, the rich wood grains bring warmth and the metallic rose gold highlights add an undercurrent of glamour. All of Design Interventions considerations are geared to draw focus to and accentuate the glorious skyline views in this well thought out design.

GEORGIAN DUBLIN PIED A TERRE BY HELENE BRODERICK INTERIORS Location: Dublin, Ireland Date Completed: March 2020 Interior Designer: Hélène Broderick Interiors Architect: Brazil Associates Developer: Agricula Construction Company: Meehan Construction Hélène Broderick Interiors has completed a classic, contemporary and sympathetic refurbishment of this 1,000 square foot, 2-bedroom apartment in Georgian Dublin, Ireland.

The client wanted the property to epitomise the ultimate in luxury and to create something truly beautiful where they could live & entertain. The main area of the apartment features grand rooms with high ceilings, exuding luxury and a sense of grandeur. The period cornices, ceiling roses and doors are blended with the classic contemporary bespoke furnishings.

Ballsbridge is an area with many fine Victorian and Georgian period properties and so the scale and grandeur of the design of the apartment reflects its neighbouring properties, squares, and seamlessly blends in.

Boom Project wanted to create a bright and spacious property with a distinctively modern aesthetic.

QUARRY HOUSE BY RKD ARCHITECTS Location: Park City, Utah, USA Architect: RKD Architects Interior Designer: Erin Martin Design Construction Company: Go West Development Quarry House consists of three nearly transparent pods, each with a curved, outward learning window wall that draws the occupants to stunning ranch land views toward Kimbell Junction and the north. Most of the structure of the home was modelled digitally. Then it was crafted; fitted together; finished; disassembled and packaged and shipped to the side. This allowed the huge curved outward leaning glass walls to come together seamlessly on site.

The materials used throughout are all natural, but they are manipulated into larger fields of texture (such as the cut limestone walls) and rhythmic supporting elements (including the paired wood beams and exposed steel superstructure). The result is an active family home that is almost monumental in scale, but completely in harmony with its setting. The key aspect of this project is the natural transparent character of the home which draws the Mountains and Valleys in and the occupants out.

EBONY AND IVORY BY SKIN INTERIOR DESIGN Date Completed: January 2019 Interior Designer: SKIN Interior Design Architect: Jeff Klymson Developer: Marc Moran Construction Company: Chris Reed – CHS Builders Ebony and Ivory is a country home in the lakeside village of New Buffalo, Michigan that has a modern, clean line look, accompanied by a perfect storm of sophistication and homeliness.

SKIN, named after their passion for layers and diversity, knew that to execute such a brief, materials selection would be key to create such necessary natural textures.

Inspired by Axel Vervoordt Interiors, SKIN wanted to bring these natural textures inside and keep the lines clean. Indeed, the mixing of metals, marbles, stones, wood, and parchment truly serve as the crux of the design’s success. Warm rugs, rich fabrics, and the layering of a few accessories, accompanied with the stunning custom bookcase designed by SKIN, makes the space feel complete. Yet importantly, by not over styling the space, and thus avoiding a cluttered feel, the design is able to further channel the peaceful and contemplative feel of its lakeside surroundings.

REEDVALE BY STUDIO WILLIAM HEFNER Location: Los Angeles, California Date Completed: 2018 Architect: William Hefner Interior Designer: Sheila Bouttier Construction Company: Scott McMurray of Synergy General Contractors The setting of Mandeville Canyon brought together the best of two worlds, country, and city, in the design of this family home.

For a creative couple with young kids, this mix allowed them to reinvent an idea of sophisticated farmhouse living close to town, without giving up a wholesome connection to nature day to day. The house is a more American, New England heritage than a European one, with an honest elegance that does feel as if it comes from a lineage, has some age to it.

All of the doors are finely panelled as well, and ceilings are detailed, too: where rooflines are peaked, beams added to cathedral ceilings, and where ceilings are flat, we employed the box panelling. This gives the whole house an intimacy, while also providing needed order and continuity to the changing volumes of the building.

This 8,000 square foot, four-bedroom Kolomuo Residence was designed with a modern island architectural style that connects the homeowner to nature, the region and the local culture. Informed by modernism and experience in Hawaii, de Reus Architects used Japanese design philosophies and a sense of restraint as the driving factors underpinning the aesthetics of the home.

The overall layout is representative of the Japanese concept of ‘Ma’, which celebrates space between structures for transition and subtle drama. As such, each segment of the home is organized into a series of interlocking yet separate pavilions, which result in significant use of negative space between each. The resulting home is comfortable yet refined in quality, evoking a timeless architectural character, contextually appropriate for the setting.

It is a true oasis in the desert.

Cayambe is nestled in the natural desert landscape of Las Vegas, Nevada. This residence was inspired by the client’s home country of Ecuador and its impressive volcanic complex, Nevado Cayambe. The architecture imitates the great expanse and dominance of the volcanic range, while the interior architecture and design complement the natural tones found in the surrounding landscape. The juxtaposition of materials and varying textures provide moments of high-contrast and drama as if paying tribute to the uniquely snow-capped volcano.

The interaction which occurs between the interior and exterior is strong. This strength is amplified within the reflection of the facade on the still water of the infinity pool.

Cayambe’s rectilinear forms, respectful materials and canopies extend through the sky, stretching ones view beyond the elongated mountain range.

ZHENRO, THE PINNACLE

BY HARMONY WORLD CONSULTANT & DESIGN Date Completed: August 2019 Interior Designer: Harmony World Consultant & Design The general impression of Tianjin, China, is that there are many ancient Chinese buildings in the city, which are based on the cultural accumulation of thousands of years of history. The historic architectural complex on Fifth avenue, with western buildings of different styles from the Italian concession, is a cultural brilliance emanating from the inside and outside.

Behind the fusion of design styles, it encompasses the ideological connotation of cultural inclusion.

The natural marble water bar is a work of art, echoing the historic architecture of the surrounding buildings. The symmetrical and geometric design of the bar is highlighted by soft lamplight and further enhances the modern and artistic atmosphere.

SÃO LOURENÇO, QUINTA DO LAGO BY JSH ALGARVE Location: Portugal Date Completed: May 2019 Interior Designer: JSH Algarve This luxurious residence was built for a sport loving family and therefore the design had to give equal focus to both the interior and exterior spaces.

The overall layout is representative of the Japanese concept of ‘Ma’, which celebrates space between structures for transition and subtle drama. As such, each segment of the home is organized into a series of interlocking yet separate pavilions, which result in significant use of negative space between each.

A FRAGRANT BREEZE FROM THE EAST BY DUBAI DESIGN GROUP BY LORA BERGIY Location: Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, UAE Date completed: September 2018 Architects: Lora Bergiy Interior Design: Lora Bergiy Developer: Nakheel Properties Construction Company: Dubai Design Group

Shandukani House was designed to be a space for modern single living. The businesswoman homeowner wanted this project to express her personal tastes and be suited to her way of living, whilst carrying a quality of understated luxury.

Décor Identity chose a light colour scheme and open plan design, acknowledging the sophistication that is found in simplicity.

A Fragrant Breeze From The East is a luxury 5-bedroom villa, designed by Dubai Design Group by Lora Bergiy, and located on the world’s largest man-made island, Palm Jumeirah. The villa seamlessly blends oriental and modern style, mirroring the client’s personality though his home.

The interior design work was styled to complement the architecture of Shandukani House; the large open windows allow for natural light to flood the interior, and so Décor Identity wanted the interiors to harmonise with this. A soft yet naturaltoned palette is used throughout the home, elevated by seldom touches of stronger colours for added depth and luxury. A richness in texture and detail is employed to preserve depth and intrigue in a very light and natural interior space. In doing so, Décor Identity achieved the client’s brief of a modern, clean and simple space with luxe and glamour.

The concept for this property was inspired from the owner, a passionate collector of Eastern masterpieces, purchasing a unique antique door at auction. The geometry of the door and the antique turquoise was reminiscent of the gates at the East Palace from the 1001 nights Scheherazade.

Though this became an intensive source of inspiration for the designers, the focus for the family home was a modern Arabic style, with a motif of light and shadow. Pure lines and geometric arabesque is a new language of traditional Arab architecture and décor which adorns the interiors. The designers chose a playful take on forms and lines, and purity and harmony.

CASA LLUVIA BY ELENA TALAVERA Location: Mexico City Date Completed: November 2019 Interior Designer: Elena Talavera Architect: Antonio Farre Casa Lluvia, located in Mexico City, is a majestic house that balances impressive modern Mexican architecture and harmonious yet elegant interiors.

Casa Lluvia oozes exquisite elegance, finesse and sophistication, which is then combined with the peace and beauty of nature of the surroundings. The light and shadows contrast beautifully and invites you to tour each space as if it was an art gallery and to discover each of its pieces.

Mexican roots and avant-garde style merge in a balanced and yet eclectic way, resulting in a splendid quality design, which is both clean and timeless. The design also aims to avoid the use of columns as much as possible, resulting in more space in the interior, whilst it combines different impact elements such as quarry stone and crystal, a grand entrance with an historical door and a glass bridge.

FLEEMAN CHATEAU BY GODDARD DESIGN GROUP Location: Rogers, Arkansas, USA Date Completed: June 2019 Architect: Bill Fleeman Interior Designer: Chris Goddard, Goddard Design Group Construction Company: Dynamic Development, Inc. Custom designed and built by the owner, this French-inspired chateau presides over 300 acres and commands a spectacular view of a lush valley in Rogers, Arkansas.

Inspiration for the chateau home materialized from the clients’ extensive travels to Paris and the countryside of France. Loving the Loire Valley, the Fleemans purchased a 300-acre site overlooking a lush valley in Rogers, Arkansas, and began planning their French-inspired compound. Artisans were commissioned to produce custom furnishings, bronze railing, plaster moulding, and murals created by a trompe l’oeil artist who was previously commissioned for Gianni Versace’s residences.

The designer’s favourite aspect of the project was the close relationship that was forged with the client. Most clients hire designers for a finite job and tend to stay within their comfort zone. In this case, the client was an active participant in the selection of all items and loved learning about new items and techniques.

The furniture used by the designers was intended to echo the surrounding art incorporated into the interiors, with big bold shapes and curves with the occasional pop of deep colours to bring warmth.

Each design element is carefully crafted for the project, paying particular attention to the details in order to create a uniform design language. Many of DO Studio’s key decisions stem from this design concept of uniformity and the perception of space. It was decided that the island in the kitchen, which is the heart of the family home, and the staircase which leads from the entrance to the living area, were especially modelled and produced from the same marble, bringing harmony to the home by tying together the communal areas. To allow intense contrast to the grey floor, a black kitchen was designed by DO Studio in a linear style using clean parallel lines.

BY LIAIGRE Location: Munich Date Completed: 2018 Interior Designer: Liaigre Villa B. is an elegant, warm and comfortable residence for the everyday life of a family who appreciates to enjoy all facilities at home, and who places the art of living at the top of their priorities.

The building is a real statement; opaque and austere when you look at it from the street ensuring a perfect privacy to the family, and completely transparent from the garden with glass windows all over the façade. This allows incredible views on the garden and the river, offering a harmonious continuum between the interior and the exterior, notably thanks to materials such as the marble of the facade that are invited in various rooms.

PRESIDIO HEIGHTS REVIVAL BY SKIN INTERIOR DESIGN Date Completed: December 2018 Interior Designer: SKIN Interior Design Construction Company: Thompson Brooks Presidio Heights Revival is an elegant prewar, stately Presidio mansion that was transformed by SKIN to reflect the playful, yet very sophisticated client. Indeed, words can hardly describe the transformation of this outdated mansion that was filled with antiques, ripped fabrics, and dusty taupe walls.

A dark, sad space was transformed by SKIN into a light filled, fun, yet incredibly sophisticated space that serves to evoke a bygone era, accompanied with unique modern art and special pieces. There was not a single detail left unturned, as each room was lovingly restored in this joyous manner. SKIN wanted to bring to life the existing antiques and revitalise them to be fresh and playful, making each space a conversation point. The mix of colour and antiques juxtaposed with the modern art works. Achieving the perfect colours and tones was incremental in SKIN’s other goal of bringing in the outside colours that characterise the mansion’s surroundings.

ROMERO CANYON BY STUDIO WILLIAM HEFNER Location: Montecito, California Date Completed: 2018 Architect: William Hefner Interior Designer: Kazuko Hoshino Built and designed by William Hefner and his late wife Kazuko Hoshino, Romero Canyon is the second home located in Montecito, California which took over 10 years to come to fruition. Indeed, this is a truly fantastic design, which serves to complement the natural environment through its use of natural stone and wood, integrating into the landscape.

When William Hefner found the home, it was a 900 square foot house from the 1930’s. He and his family had always dreamt of creating a compound- separate buildings that could foster a feeling of being on holiday. As a result of this, we are presented with three distinct yet closely related buildings. They placed each structure as close to the edge of the property as was permitted, so the garden would be maximized in the middle.

Rich skylights in the pool house and great room help to balance the light through large expanses of steel and glass.

BY SHENZHEN TRINITY INTERIOR DESIGN Location: China Date Completed: November 2018 Interior Designer: Tao Huang, Chief Designer: Zhihong Li Developer: CHINA MERCHANTS SHEKOU INDUSTRIAL ZONEHOLDINGS CO.,LTD Construction Company: Steffian Bradley Architects Based on a new understanding of luxury, the design expresses thinking on returning to life in a perspective of contemporary aesthetics. It focuses on a comfortable living environment, emphasizes on spiritual enlightenment, and displays natural and innocent humanities at the core through elegance and spectacle.

The soft grey/white tone combines with dark and light wooden colours, outlined by black metal, elegant and chic. With the light coming in, transition of different materials and exquisite joint details, the whole space provides a low-key serenity to maximize the natural beauty. It is a calming and tranquil space to return to after seeing all the bustling in the outside world, this is the reason that such cool and calming colours were used throughout.

The design must be casting a profound insight to interdependence between human beings, nature and art, so that the interior and the outdoors can coexist and create comfortable and natural spaces.

MAYFAIR HOUSE BY ARISTA DESIGN LTD Date Completed: November 2019 Interior Designer: Arista Design Ltd Architect: Bickerdike Allen Partners Developer: Caudwell Collection Construction Company: Size Group London Ltd Arista Design worked with Bickerdike Allen Partners and Size Group London Ltd on this opulent project from the beginning through planning permission to final details, taking a whole 6 years from start to finish.

The design brief was for a ‘home like no other’. Arista Design Ltd were to incorporate design aspects in the home that were fun, adventurous and quirky. Many specialists and artisans were needed for such unique pieces throughout the property, for example marquetry using specialist materials like mother of pearl with shagreen inlay and specialist upholsterers for handwoven embroidery were essential for a project to this scale.

The final design of the project works particularly well because the house was split up into eight different zones within the design and build process, each area has a distinctly different feel, so it’s almost as if you’ve entered a completely different environment when you move from zone to zone throughout the house.

BELGRAVIA GATE 10 BY CARTE BLANCHE DESIGN Date Completed: 2019 Interior Designer: Carte Blanche Design Carte Blanche Design have composed the aesthetic of the different spaces, inspired by the cosmopolitan London Lifestyle while located within a historical Grade-II building.

The project embraces and unites the beauty and sophistication of the existing building whilst providing a feeling of privacy and retreat that allows the family members to participate and engage in the larger spaces.

This fusion was meticulously orchestrated by mixing the classical wood flooring and wall panelling with exquisite stone finishes and modern take on contemporary furniture. By playing with lower, more relaxed and “laid-back” seating height, a palette of neutral and refined tones, soft textures and elegant upholstery that contrasts with the few accent colours, the designers have redefined their client’s view on the experience of luxury. By introducing bespoke elements throughout the project, they added an undeniable level of sophistication and warmth to the overall design.

BY MM INTERIORS Date Completed: December 2019 Architect: Squire & Partners Interior Designer: Itala Santos Developer: St. George Construction Company: Conneely Group MM Interiors were enlisted for the interior design of this duplex penthouse conversion for a private client with a family of seven. The client, a regular visitor to Italy, was inspired

by Roman style and particularly loved Fendi furniture. They wanted each room in the property to have a glamorous feel, each with its own statement piece. Using this inspiration, MM Interiors incorporated rich regal colours of purple, red navy, emerald green and gold to bring their vision to live.

The majestic atmosphere was created through bespoke pieces such as the amethyst wall art which was handpicked in Brazil and handcrafted in the UK. The design provides a statement piece luxury home suited for a family with comfort throughout which was achieved in the fabrics and textures used. Over 80% of the items used are vegan and eco-friendly. With accentuated, bold colours the designers have demonstrated that a family home can have personality.

YORK BUILDINGS BY NFA ARCHITECTS Date Completed: June 2019 Interior Designer: Nick Farnell, Caroline Gingell Architect: Nick Farnell, Caroline Gingell Construction Company: Cue Developments Ltd This project involved the transformation of a London townhouse from its previous dilapidated state to a beautifully finished bespoke interior, for a client with impeccable taste.

The property was in a bad condition and the spaces were poorly planned, NFA Architects were brought in to reorganise the areas and transform the house into a functional family home. Due to its Listed status, there were minimal structural interventions permitted. However, each floor has been transformed by making clever use of the space throughout. Custom made furniture has allowed the absolute maximisation of the plan providing a space that works perfectly.

The client required a dramatic design which played with light and dark and occasional bold colours.

Particular elements were designed specifically to meet the requirements of the client. The success of this project comes from a good working relationship with the client who was clear with the brief and trusted the design team wholeheartedly.

REGENERATION RESTORATION

ADARC ANNEX STUDIO BY ADARC INTERNATIONAL STUDIO LIMITED Location: China Date Completed: September 2019 Architect: Dr. Allan Ting Developer: ADARC Design Institute The design carefully protected the original structures, giving high degree of respects to the beauty of old space, while lending new opportunities to create space diversity and functionality. In this project, the architect developed a series of tectonic approaches for bamboo and wood detailing and installation, to make possible the contemporary articulation and expression for modern oriental architecture reconsidered. The design successfully generated multi-layers of new interior landscape, using series of wood or steel staircase to link up complicated levels and functions.

Bamboo, wood, and terra cotta brick detailing and installation are widely used in the project. In response to the low-cost and fast construction nature of the project, the architect encouraged the use of local material such as second-hand aged wood floor, inexpensive local bamboo strip, and local produced terra cotta bricks, to minimize the transportation and installation costs, which formed an important part of the passive sustainable design strategy.

HILLARYS RENOVATION PROJECT BY MODA INTERIORS Location: Australia Date Completed: June 2018 Interior Designer: Kate Barakovska Construction Company: Peter Stewart Homes The brief was to create a house that reflects the owner’s past, present and future. The whole home was gutted inside and out, apart from the bathrooms and laundry room - these really didn’t require updating as the client felt it would be a waste of money to initiate unnecessary changes. The interior and exterior were painted, all custom cabinetries were designed by Moda and new flooring installed spanning wooden floors, carpet and tiles.

The cultural influences that the clients hold dear to them were integrated into this home and also reflected easily through the property, taking it beyond what the clients thought possible. Cultural influences dictated the transformation of what is now known as the Mongolian Room, drawing inspiration from a photograph of the client’s son sitting in traditional Mongolian Yurt. It is a place the owner can relax in that reminds her of home.

VILLA AD ON THE LAKE, ITALIA BY NOMADE ARCHITETTURA AND INTERIOR DESIGN DI SELINA BERTOLA Location: Italy Date Completed: 2019 Interior Designer: Nomade Architettura and Interior Design di Selina Bertola In the magnificent setting of Lake Como, a 1920s villa has been given new life, which links it to its past and projects it into the future. The clients, a truly unique family, bought the villa after seeing several properties on the lake. Although their taste is particularly contemporary and clean, they have chosen a historic property, and so this project has represented a magnificent challenge.

From the start it was decided to play on the dualism between pre-existing liberty style of the facades and a contemporary and contrasting taste in the interiors, maintaining as a common thread the choice of materials, which would dialogue with the lake environment, so that the colours of the exterior and interior communicate with each other. On the façade, the openings in the loggia on the ground floor and the corresponding openings on the first floor have been modified, the windows have been doubled to bring more light.

1970’S TRANSFORMATION

BY SADIE PIZZEY INTERIORS Location: Guildford, United Kingdom Date Completed: 2018 Interior Designer: Sadie Pizzey Interiors Architect: Rick Mill The design brief for Sadie Pizzey Interiors was to transform a dingy, claustrophobic, tired 1970’s house into a modern inspiring home. The original house was so dark and separated from the garden, that light and a connection to nature was a vital part of the new design. The designer and architect lowered all the ground floors to increase the ceiling height and most of the internal spaces were opened up or reconfigured.

To increase the light in the front of the house, large crittall style aluminium doors were added to the entrance of the kitchen, allowing the beautiful garden to be the first view you see as you enter the house.

The connection to nature was so important because of how gloomy the house had previously felt but also because Sadie Pizzey Interiors wanted to create a home that reduced stress levels and gave the client a constant connection with the outside.

FAMILY SKI RESIDENCE BY REBECCA CLARK DESIGN Location: Mount Buller, Victorian Alpine Region, Australia Architect: Russell Barrett Interior Designer: Rebecca Clark Design Construction Company: Krongold Construction The Family Ski Residence is a sophisticated, warm, relaxed and luxurious space, a striking mix of dramatic materials and textures combined with light and dark colours have been used to create this feel. The stone fireplace adds warmth and depth to the room whilst also being the focal definition of the breakup of the separate zones within the large, long living area. Some unique furniture pieces have been used such as the Arflex “Marenco” armchairs in aged leather which were originally designed in the 1970’s and the custom-made twig side tables.

The space is flexible and adaptable for small and large groups of entertaining. The depth and length of the kitchen bench gives the client a space which can have various activities going at the same time. Drinks/ cocktails can be poured one end, while cooking is being perfected at the other.

BIG SKY RETREAT BY KENDALL WILKINSON DESIGN Location: Big Sky, Montana, USA Date Completed: 2018 Interior Designer: Kendall Wilkinson Design Architect: Locati Architects Construction Company: Highline Partners, Ltd. Located at Big Sky, Montana, this house redefines the typical “mountain home.”

Kendall Wilkinson Design created the ultimate snow escape for adults and children in the 10,000 square foot vacation home. To achieve this family friendly vacation home, it was built with a reverence for nature, an admiration of the immediate surroundings and views all to bring the various colours and textures from the outside indoors.

The fabrics and palette of this house are muted and calm and allow one to breathe in the beauty of the environment without distraction. In keeping with the mountain aesthetic, reclaimed barn wood, board formed concrete and large expanses of glass were utilized so each room boasts expansive views of the mercurial seasons.

Defying a particular style, this home is its own world unto the owners who simply asked to be able to see the Sphinx Mountain and drink in the Montana air.

QUARRY HOUSE BY RKD ARCHITECTS Location: Park City, Utah, USA Architect: RKD Architects Interior Designer: Erin Martin Design Construction Company: Go West Development Quarry House consists of three nearly transparent pods, each with a curved, outward learning window wall that draws the occupants to stunning ranch land views toward Kimball Junction and the north. Most of the structure of the home was modelled digitally. Then it was crafted; fitted together; finished; disassembled and packaged and shipped to the site. This allowed the huge curved outward leaning glass walls to come together seamlessly on site.

The key aspect of this project is the natural transparent character of the home which draws the Mountains and Valleys in and the occupants out, the Master suite also focuses on the ski area to the West. Its lines are bold gestures that reflect the grandeur of the landscape and its huge, sweeping curves are on a scale that stands up to the expansive views in all directions. The outward – leaning glass walls virtually pour the occupants into the valley below.

PARK CITY UTAH SKI HOUSE BY ANA DONOHUE INTERIORS Date Completed: 2018 Interior Designer: Ana Donohue Interiors Architect: T. Scott Kyle with Building Alliance Construction Company: Loomis Construction Park City Utah Ski House by Ana Donohue Interiors was designed for a client who is as colourful as her interiors. She wanted a mountain ski house that was energetic and unique, something suitable for year-round living. Ana Donohue’s client had undertaken a widespread search throughout Massachusetts and Utah to find a designer that “got her”. She wanted an interior design that allowed her love of unique materials, colours and furniture to cohabitate in one cohesive setting.

Ana was able to work with colour and materials like lacquer and iron, and pair them with rustic wood to create an unusual but truly effective handshake of old and new, modern and rustic. An unusual combination that unsurprisingly her client absolutely adored. The design, while bold and colourful, holds your attention but slowly unveils itself throughout the space in a nuanced way to connect to the exterior of the home.

20TH VS 21ST CENTURY BY D-COR Location: Magog Date Completed: April 2020 Interior Designer: D-Cor Construction Company: Construction supérieur 20th vs 21st century is D-Cor’s creation of a family lodge in the purest tradition of a mountain chalet, with all the advantages of modernity. Incorporating elements of its surroundings, everything about this house is in harmony with nature. The brief was for D-Cor to design a unifying chalet in the traditional ancestral style of the beginning of the 20th century, where people can share unforgettable moments on the mountainside. Where the sight of nature is a priority just as much as promoting artisanal craftsmanship. The priority that this property blends into the environment.

The structure of the project is striking, both inside and outside. The huge wooden beam that meets and intersects in and outside the house gives it an ancestral feel. This, along with the omnipresent technologies that are invisible are D-Cor’s favourite elements of the home, summarising the ancestral character of the piece with the commodity of a modern home.

SKY LANE BY DE LOREN & ASSOCIATES Location: Los Angeles, California Date Completed: June 2019 Architect: de Loren & Associates Interior Designer: de Loren & Associates, Pauline Moghavam Developer: Barry Simzar’s Channel Development Construction Company: Channel Development Located in West Los Angeles alongside remarkable architectural projects like The Getty Center, the curved design of Sky Lane follows the natural curvature provided by the steep hillside of the Brentwood hills.

The house steps down with the hillside and is part of the existing landscape rather than an imposed structure on the hillside.

The design of the pool went hand in hand with the design of the house, following the dynamic curvature, allowing the pool to wrap around the terrace and encompass every view available. The 75-foot infinity pool offers a jacuzzi, Baja and a swim-up bar.

THE POOL ROOM BY PAYTON-WILLIAMS INTERIORS Location: Solihull, United Kingdom Date Completed: November 2019 Interior Designer: Payton-Williams Interiors Construction Company: Fabric Developments The brief for Payton-Williams Interiors was to completely transform the space by giving it a design scheme that was not only coherent to the design scheme of the property, but to make it feel like you actually want to spend time in the space and enjoy some leisure time with family and friends.

Even though this is an indoor swimming pool, it felt very disconnected from the main house and the outdoor space. The design by Payton-Williams Interiors has completely transformed the space and it now feels like the room is part of the main house again.

RESIDENTIAL SWIMMING POOL

ARDEN BY STUDIO WILLIAM HEFNER Date Completed: 2017 Architect: William Hefner Interior Designer: Antonia Hutt Builder: Hanover Builders The inspiration is more English than some of the designers’ other houses. The house follows a tranquil, symmetrical Georgian plan, with tall and elegant proportions.

A heavy limestone surround at the front door and a slate roof contribute to the substantial façade. But it is all bright and light at the same time, with the very large steel windows and leafy trees beyond lead to the tranquil outdoor swimming pool.

The pool is surrounded by greenery and has a zero edge which becomes a sculpted rectangle and perfectly reflects the elegant house.

ROMERO CANYON BY STUDIO WILLIAM HEFNER Location: Montecito, California Date Completed: 2018 Architect: William Hefner Interior Designer: Kazuko Hoshino Built and designed by William Hefner and his late wife Kazuko Hoshino, Romero Canyon is the second home located in Montecito, California which took over 10 years. Indeed, this is a truly fantastic design, which serves to complement the natural environment through its use of natural stone and wood, integrating into the landscape.

The outdoor pool has been perfectly positioned for its users to take in the exceptional views and the surrounding greenery. The pool provides access to the pool house and great room where the rich skylights help to balance the light through large expanses of steel and glass.
