Categoria: Ristrutturazione della casa

L'artista/illustratore Russell Loughlan è un ristrutturatore seriale di case che definisce il suo ultimo progetto “un acquisto d'impulso”. Situata in Dolphin Street nella città balneare di Deal, nel Kent, Inghilterra, la casa a schiera georgiana del 1768 era rimasta intatta dagli anni Sessanta. E vedendo ora il suo "fixer-upper", si può capire perché se ne sia innamorato. [...]

Lo studio Commune Design di Los Angeles era il partner perfetto per un cliente che voleva sfruttare i dettagli e l'energia del modernismo francese e adattarli a un appartamento di Santa Monica.

Per quanto spesso abbiamo gustato un panino al tonno e un arbusto all'aceto nel cortile di Gjusta, è stato solo di recente che ci siamo imbattuti nel Vitorrja, il primo hotel di Los Angeles del gruppo Gjelina, dietro sia a Gjusta che a Gjelina.

Lo studio di design tedesco Studio Oink ci sa fare con i colori pastello.

Ecco il profilo delle caratteristiche principali di questo spazio sobrio e romantico. Sopra: Pavimento in abete Douglas [...]

Anki Spets è impegnata a migliorare il sonno degli americani dal 1990. All'epoca era una stilista svedese appena arrivata a New York, sconcertata dalle lenzuola in misto antipiega che dominavano il mercato statunitense. Anni prima che l'Ikea e lo stile scandinavo arrivassero sul fronte domestico, molto prima che i distruttori di biancheria da letto entrassero in scena, la sua attività, [...]

Passeggiando su Roosevelt Avenue, nel quartiere di Jackson Heights, nel Queens, ci si imbatte in una New York da film, in tutta la sua rumorosa e colorata gloria: il frastuono della linea della metropolitana sopraelevata, i pedoni che si affrettano a prendere i treni e i gruppi di food truck che servono cibi economici e deliziosi. Ma basta camminare un [...]

The Rose è una locanda sul mare appena inaugurata, con otto camere da letto, nel Kent orientale, in Inghilterra.

Who doesn’t long for a bedroom that acts like a lullaby? If you’re sleep-challenged—isn’t everyone these days?—consider creating your own cloud chamber. Fans of all-white bedrooms use words like “tranquil,” “blank slate,” “no distractions,” and “Zen” to describe the appeal. There’s also an automatic tidy look that comes with opting for all white: a single […]

If you count all the hours we allot to plumping pillows, smoothing sheets, straightening shams, and fussing over how the whole thing looks, we spend as much time on our beds as in them. Yet the results never look as good as pictures in magazines. Enough already. I am a busy person and so are you. Here’s a foolproof […]

After a friend took part in the artist residency program at the Château de la Haute Borde a few summers back, I’ve admired the interiors and images of artists and guests gathered around long dinner tables in the tall grasses of the surrounding grounds.

When it comes to architectural and interior styles, we’re pretty omnivorous: we can admire a dressed-to-the-nines formal home (like this one) and, in the same breadth, applaud a rustic DIY cabin with no running water (like this one). Sometimes, though, we happen upon projects that make us want to pack up and move right in. […]

Why do hotel sheets feel so much better than the sheets at home? Well, to begin with, hotel sheets are freshly washed, crisply ironed, and perfectly tucked–all by someone who is not you. These fine points go a long way to making hotel bedding a thing of desire. And beyond that, they’re all white–according to […]

In San Francisco, they’re known as Painted Ladies. In Cambridge, Massachusetts, there isn’t a name for the preferred—and, if you ask us, far more compelling—Victorian house palette: exteriors in severe blacks, charcoals, and grays offset by front doors in wild lipstick shades like Lilac and Vixen Red. LA architect Barbara Bestor of Bestor Architecture knows […]

Katrin Arens has been designing furniture out of reclaimed, “abused wood” since 1998 out of her home, a converted 15th century mill in Bergamo, Italy.
