Modernist Masterpiece

Located near Buenos Aires, the stables are home to forty-four horses and was the brainchild of owner and polo legend Nacho Figueras and architect Juan Ignacio Ramos. Conceived as a building...

Acting almost as a signature of their work, this home in Tel Aviv by Pitsou Kedem, typifies the contemporary, bold and inviting design the firm is known for. As with many of their projects, large airy volumes, concrete and a considered use of light define the home. However it is the use and repetition of metal screens...

Factory transformed

This former garment factory in Bethnal Green was recently converted by architecture studio Paper House Project into a modern apartment for a young couple. James Davies, founder of Paper House Project,  was tasked with adding an extra bedroom to the former warehouse, which was converted into an open-plan live-work space almost a decade ago. By opening up the enclosed stairwell and incorporating...

A fashionable interior

For the young homeowner, a French-educated fashion designer, Waterfrom Design created a colourful yet sophisticated apartment inspired by sewing patterns. Loosely translated throughout, from the braided wires in the glass bookcase to the translucent texture of the blue bookcases mimicking fabrics, Vivid Colour as the architecture firm calls this modest 100 square metre apartment is full of subtle...
