In his Sailing Castle series, artist Cheng Tsung FENG reimagines the appearance of cities as if they were fleets of ships gathered at sea. Through large-scale installation art, he captures the silhouettes of surrounding buildings and transforms them into poetic impressions that weave together time, space, and memory. See allShow less

Don't pretend you've never had an Eloise-ian fantasy-living in a Plaza-like hotel, surrounded by the finest amenities, basking in a life of effortless luxury. (Minus, of course, the bathtub overflows and staff harassment.) That's more or less what global event planner Michelle Rago had in mind when decamping from her Manhattan apartment of 30 years to her dream home in Lambertville, New Jersey. Rago, who's constantly on the move for work-London, Cabo, and Brazil are next on her itinerary-says, "I've grown up in luxury hotels."

The newly renovated Cartier flagship in Miami's Design District stands at 147 NE 39th Street, its new facade conceived by Diller Scofidio and Renfro, and comprehensive renovation and interior design by Laura Gonzales. The building's undulating glass carries a rhythm that catches the changing light and suggests a sense of motion. Across the curved surface, a delicate pattern has been translated from a 1909 Cartier brooch. It appears and disappears with each shift in sun or shadow, softening the boundary between interior and exterior.

Out of all its options, we gravitate towards this one, in large part because it has a hidden storage compartment in the foot, where you can store everything from extra bedding to spare towels. This sectional has two upholstery options, fabric or velvet, and each option has a few colors to choose from. Both upholsteries, however, are also performance fabrics, which mean they are fade-resistant and easy to clean.

If you're looking to create smart, modern, and contemporary lighting in your home, you should definitely consider LED skirting boards. They are the perfect choice for creating ambience in a room, meaning you can say goodbye to bright, harsh lighting. Getting your lighting design right will enhance your home's overall look and atmosphere, and LED skirting boards can play a key role in achieving this.

"To soften the awkward layout and update the home's look while keeping true to its traditional style," she says.

In their latest office conversion, Los Angeles-based design and architecture studio 22RE introduces a vibrant, residentially inspired workplace for LA creative agency Day Job.

Small kitchens may be limited on square footage - but that doesn't mean they must sacrifice on style and satisfying functionality. Whether you're working with a galley-style layout, a compact condo kitchen, or are living in a rental with limited storage, a little creativity and smart design choices go a long way. Even the tiniest kitchens feel practical and beautiful when you consider function first.

I've been really loving a touch of green in our home lately. It's always been one of my favorite colors but I didn't use it as much in my past two homes. It's a lovely accent color for our blues and neutrals. There is a lot of green outside our windows so I love how it brings the outside in and makes it all feel so peaceful and cohesive.

"You came in through the kitchen, which hadn't been touched probably ever. It had the old trim, moldings, and a floor that had collapsed, and the ceiling had holes," Santangelo says. "Of course, that was the room I loved."

My husband, John, and I had been considering moving into a tiny home for a few years before we finally did so in February 2018. The popularity of tiny homes on wheels was significantly smaller than it is now, and it was challenging to find a wealth of information on blogs and social media platforms, such as YouTube. Still, we did our research and due diligence because the idea appealed to us so much.

The joyful surprise inspired the addition of a second level to their Southern California home, including a new primary bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. Yet just a month before breaking ground on the 16-month build-out, the couple faced devastating news: Ben's cancer, once in remission, had returned. Conceived as a space for a growing family, the bathroom now had to serve as something more than a luxurious home extension-it needed to be a place of comfort and care.

The House of Parallel Walls is a home that celebrates the essence of a joint family in a living space that becomes the heart of the house. Conceived as a double-height space, the living room is a microcosm around which the various private and public spaces are organized. The boundaries between the circulation spine, the living room, and the verandah are blurred, generating a fluid interior.

Powerhouse Castle Hill is a storehouse for the Powerhouse Collection, supporting research and conservation. It forms part of the Museum Discovery Centre, operated in partnership with the Australian Museum and the Museums of History New South Wales. The site housed six large storage sheds for the collection that were reaching capacity. About 95% of the Powerhouse Collection is maintained in storage at any time, most of it at Castle Hill.

The best organization hacks often involve storage solutions that are a bit unexpected. For example, some people put olive oil dispensers in their bathroom - whereas others have started using CD racks for storing much more than just music. Recently, a content creator convinced me that I should never overlook a vintage spice rack while thrifting, plus to rethink its use.

Makeovers can be hard to get right, especially when you're working with old buildings, and even more so when it's a cherished community spot. You want to make sure the original character of the property remains, but that it's brought into the modern age when it comes to things like decorations and double-glazed windows. That's the sort of balance that developers are looking to strike at St John's Tavern in Archway, which is set to reopen this week.

While my decor style leans into minimalism, I still want my home to feel cozy and inviting - especially during sweater weather. The one spot that bugs me every time the cooler months arrive is the dining area in my kitchen. This space just looks and feels ... well, cold. I put this down to my stark, white metal dining chairs; these were an impulse purchase which I (pretty instantly) regretted.

In my years as a professional mattress reviewer and certified sleep coach, I've found that hybrid mattresses typically feature two, maybe three, materials, to allow users to enjoy the benefit of each. In Thuma's case, however, this hybrid comprises five. There's a eucalyptus-derived Tencel, spandex, and rayon cover, included for temperature control at the surface; organic wool; "biobased" memory foam; organic Dunlop latex for a firm feel; and pocketed coils in the middle.

Happy weekend! Ahead: stationery stores, a wallpaper-in-film watch list, slow stitching, and more cozy pursuits.

We'd discounted the house in question completely based on how it looked from the outside,

Bernard Bijvoet and Pierre Chareau's 1932 Maison de Verre in Paris inspired Flack's use of glass blocks as structure in this project, which marks his studio's first foray into architectural design. (The team now has seven other architecture projects in the works). Inside the day-lit extension-which hosts the living room, kitchen, and a powder room-and throughout the home, he made design moves that add a glowing feel.

As eager as you might be to dive right in and see the results, it helps to proceed with caution. Matt Boden, owner of Fresh Coat Painters of Tampa, has found that it helps to slow down and understand the ins and outs of painting your kitchen. Surface cleaning and applying a primer is a must, and you won't score any brownie points for painting in poor lighting.

As remote work continues to be a preference for many, several trends are emerging that are set to dominate home office designs. Here are ten trends to watch for in the near future. 1. Ergonomic Furniture Ergonomic chairs and desks are becoming essential as more people prioritize comfort and health while working from home. Brands like Herman Miller and Steelcase are leading the way with innovative designs that support posture and reduce strain.

The architectural language is quiet but confident. A flat roof stretches outward, forming generous overhangs that temper the desert sun while framing long horizontal lines against the open sky. Beneath it, warm Douglas fir eaves run continuously from exterior to interior, creating a seamless ribbon of wood that guides the eye and softens the transition between architecture and nature. It's this gesture, simple, fluid, and tactile, that anchors the design.

The challenge of reimagining a Grade I listed Palladian manor as contemporary hospitality lies not in imposing newness but in calibrating restraint. When it comes to Denton Reserve, John Carr's 1778 North Yorkshire structure had accumulated decades of ornamental layering - the kind of decorative accretion that obscures rather than honors Georgian architectural logic. BOX 9's intervention operates through subtraction and strategic insertion, working within heritage constraints that prohibited fixed partitions or built-in elements.
