I especially love the kitchen in this wonderful house in Puglia by architectural rising star Peter Pichler. Unpretentious, understated, yet brimming with style. And it works.

The infallibly transformative effect of the right door hardware, London.
There’s a lot to love about this house. The seriously sexy powder room builds to bathrooms with quite a different feel. But the opportunity to bring a touch of sensuality and delight to the ritual of the everyday isn’t missed here either.
The perfectly centred downlight in this is the cherry on a the cake. Powder room perfection made in Japan.
Definitely the sort of kitchen I would design for myself… Bastogne House is by Belgian architects adn.
Like a moth to a flame, I keep coming back to these beautiful new pendants by London designer Samuel Wilkinson, where light bulb and shade share equal billing.
Work-life balance in action. A remarkable temporary office fitout in old Amsterdam straddles the poetic and the practical.
I like the approach of the architects of this gallery house in London who see their work as a moment in the life of the building. Something to be used now and later reabsorbed, ‘like footprints on the landscape’.
A sublimely detailed yet robust new house in South London features face brickwork and brass hardware reminiscent of both the 1970′s and Victorian traditions. I love the bare ceilings too, downlights banished in favour of strategically placed pendant lights, at least one of them in brass.
I love the slightly disarming effect of a diminutive desk towered over by an oversized floor lamp in the Venice flat of artist Anita Sieff. The contents of the house finely balanced between the essential/functional and the composed, the eye of the artist is everywhere to behold (right down to the fringed linen handtowel). And yet nothing – to my mind at least – looks the least contrived.
