Pre-pandemic – and those happy days when travel was our yearly, if not bimonthly routine – we favoured hotels that felt like home. But after more than two years of travel restrictions, the script has flipped – we now want our homes to feel like hotels, or homes that remind us of our fond travel memories, and how big the world is. Instead of a pared-back, minimalist look, we seek a style that is all the more eclectic, freewheeling, and fun. Our cover is dedicated to such a home, that of a well-travelled couple, who turned to Lisbon-based interior designer Joana Aranha for an eclectic abode featuring a soulful collection of art and antiques they amassed from around the world. Bringing together materials from a mix of cultures, such as…

Madame Rêve embodies French luxury hospitality – imagined by the hotel’s founder and art director, seasoned Parisian businessman, restaurateur and hospitality expert Laurent Taïeb, whose hospitality group owns notable Paris restaurants Kong, and Le Trésor. Madam Rêve is located in the heart of historic Paris, in the 1st arrondissement, a few minutes from the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection, the newly reopened Samaritaine department store, Les Halles, the Louvre, the Palais-Royal, and just four blocks away from the Seine. The area has undergone a massive cosmetic overhaul, and is slowly, but surely, replacing the chicest section of the 8th arrondissement as the city’s new “triangle d’Or” – golden triangle. The hotel’s discreet luxury comes in a perfect blend of old-world meets modern day in the old La Poste du…

The lady of the house wanted a place where she could just kick-back and relax, a glorious and glamorous sanctuary for the times when she was not busy taming the urban jungle outside her door. Yu Qiang & Partners and EK Design got the message, combining their modernist sensibility and design flair, and transforming a two-storey duplex in Zhejiang Province, China, to fit this vision. “The female client craves freedom and wants to follow her love for art and fashion in the private resort residence. The idea was to craft an environment that’s elegant and serene, able to generate richness and a sense of belonging,” says the design team. The task up front was restructuring the spacious penthouse made up of two units that were purchased by the client and sprawled…

Manhattan, New York Condominium Nestled between Riverside Park and Central Park on the Upper West Side, 96+Broadway is a 23-storey condominium that will offer a total of 131 one to five-bedroom residences upon completion later this year. Model residences are expected to debut this summer in tandem with the sales launch.

Emblematic to his signature design language, 96+Broadway is an ode to the neighbourhood’s penchant for limestone Beaux Arts structures with a modern twist, featuring a limestone-clad façade paired with burnished bronze finishes on the windows and terraces that altogether make for a sophisticated and elegant look from the…

One Hundred Shoreditch dazzles with its rooftop bar, Goddard & Gibbs seafood eatery, and mixology maestro Ryan Chetiyawardana’s (Mr Lyan) basement bar, Seed Library. “Elevated, yet not too serious,” is how Jacu Strauss defines the exciting new edition to London’s vibrant hotel scene, One Hundred Shoreditch (OHS).

“The clients are a young couple who live with a pet. I’ve known them for a long time and understand their love for simplistic design and clean lines,” says Maggie Mo & Jay Leung, directors of Starz Pasha, which was tapped to design their high-end residence in Kau To Shan. “They craved a living space that has tons of character. It inspired us to curate a minimalistic space with black, white and grey undertones. “Taking inspiration from the owners’ wine passion, we integrated the five processes of winemaking – picking, pressing, fermentation, clarification, and bottling – into the interiors.” Though the homeowners have a soft spot for black, white and grey tones, the design team embellished the space with gorgeous burgundy, a deep reddish-brown shade resembling its eponymous wine varietal,…

London, UK Residence Built in 1906, the Grade II-listed Fire Station situated in the heart of Westminster, London, is believed to have witnessed many historical moments in the fire brigade – from the end of horse-drawn engines in 1921, the admission of women during WWII, to the first female firefighter in 1982.

Helmed by Laura Marino, creative director and co-founder at Alchemi Group, and…

In Portugal’s capital, Lisbon, you’ll see plenty of Pombaline-style buildings – structures of up to four floors with arcades on the ground floor and balconies on the first floor and attic. This style – the native architecture of Lisbon – arose in the aftermath of an earthquake in 1755, when under the directive of Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, marquês de Pombal, the devastated city was revived with these new, anti-seismic buildings which have a strong neoclassical character. Located within a traditional Pombaline building, this 5,166 square foot, three-storey residence with four bedrooms and two terraces, was the perfect starting point for Lisbon-based interior designer Joana Aranha to create a vibrant and soulful home that marries a diverse range of cultural influences. “We restored the entire building, reinvented it using…
