La cucina della settimana: Un'aggiunta luminosa con un “portale della dispensa” per una stretta casa a schiera a Brooklyn
La sfida: come creare un senso di luce e di spazio in una casa a schiera di fine Ottocento particolarmente stretta?

7 segreti per vivere con un televisore a schermo piatto, edizione con controllo dei cavi
I don’t have anything against the idea of TV; in fact, I consider TV to be the new novel. When I power-watch three or four—OK, five—episodes, I get the same woozy, drugged-out high as from being lost in a book. What I hate is how a TV looks, a black hole on the wall trying […]
Serenity Now: Creare calma e lusso in una casa a schiera di Brooklyn
Come molte case storiche, questa brownstone di Brooklyn aveva visto un tempo ben più grandioso. Nel corso degli anni, è stata ritoccata innumerevoli volte (si vedano le coperte di vernice sulle modanature e i condizionatori d'aria che sporgono dalle finestre), lasciandola nel migliore dei casi insipida. I suoi attuali proprietari, un regista teatrale e un avvocato, con un gusto per la calma e il lusso, sia classico che contemporaneo, [...]

La cucina della settimana: La nuova cucina del vecchio mondo di Noodles, Noodles & Noodles Corp.
Quando Wolfgang Ahlers, Christian Geyr e André Reitemeyer iniziarono a collaborare, non avevano idea che avrebbero finito per lanciare un'azienda di mobili.

Oaxen Krog & Slip: Un ristorante di ispirazione marina a Stoccolma
Quasi esattamente due anni fa, Magnus Ek e Agneta Green hanno aperto Oaxen Krog & Slip, i loro due ristoranti gemelli sull'isola di Djurgården, nel centro di Stoccolma.

Ruba questo look: La camera da letto di Clementine a Mill Valley

City Slick: A Cool Apartment for a Couple “Who Lives and Breathes Urban Life’
We get why so many urban dwellers we know prefer bikes to cars. Aside from the environmental reasons, finding parking for four wheels on city streets can be a real doozy, while finding parking for two wheels can be as easy as strolling through the front door.
