The curtain rises on a new chapter at the Todd Haimes Theatre as this transformative renovation supports greater accessibility to the arts for all, Hochul said.

The project reconsiders the building as a layered architectural structure shaped by successive transformations, reorganizing these historical strata through a spatial strategy that prioritizes clarity, continuity, and flexibility.

Mark Rothko and his first wife, Edith Sachar, put down roots in a small apartment within a Greek Revival townhouse in Manhattan's East Village neighborhood in the 1930s. There, the late abstract expressionist famously known for his color field technique created the painting titled 'Thru the Window.'

Casa Tam is one more iteration in a sequence of rewritings. It is a comprehensive renovation of a house already expanded and altered on two prior occasions. Somewhere between new construction and palimpsest, the project takes fragments of original layouts and extends them into new spatial continuities, intertwining them with axes from later interventions.

Claudia Clow originally didn't want to sell Pick's Drive-In, a 103-year-old roadstop burger stand, when a venture capitalist asked to buy the restaurant last year. But Clow relented and sold the business after owning it for 35 years, and now a month after it reopened, she believes it's the best decision she could have ever made. "I could cry how happy I am," Clow said.

Fully renovated in 2021, this rowhome features exposed brick and custom window treatments throughout, plus three outdoor spaces. The open-concept living room includes a gas fireplace, a large bay window for natural lighting, and wide-plank hardwood floors. The dining space includes a wet bar and wine fridge. Bedrooms include a king-sized primary bedroom, a second bedroom with a private balcony leading to a roof deck, and a basement bedroom with a full bath for guests.

Sixty years ago, Laurance S. Rockefeller looked out at the turquoise waters of Kaunaoa Bay on Hawaii Island and imagined something extraordinary, a resort where world-class hospitality met the raw beauty of the Hawaiian coast. That vision became the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, Hawaii Island's first resort and an instant icon of midcentury modern design. Fast forward to 2026, and the legend just got a serious glow-up.

Qingshan Wu "Ay" () is a type of black-glazed ceramic indigenous to the mountainous region of northeastern Fujian, positioned between pottery and porcelain.

Paris property prices can certainly stretch into the millions, and even at that level, many homes need a little imagination - or even a full renovation - to make them truly comfortable, functional and stylish. The bones are often beautiful, but layouts can be quirky, storage scarce, and finishes in need of love. Still, with the right guidance, you can absolutely find a one, two, or three-bedroom home that strikes that perfect balance of charm, location, and potential.

When I tell people I bought a fixer-upper in Vermont with my siblings, the reaction is almost always the same: part envy, part amusement, part horror. "That's so exciting, but you must really like your siblings. I could never do that with mine. It would end in disaster," they say. Did I mention the house - tucked deep in the woods - is nearly impossible to find, three stories tall, and has no interior staircases or electricity?

By the time Jason Saft, an award-winning home stager and founder of New York city-based Staged To Sell Home, was called in to work his magic on this unit in The Clebourne, an Upper West Side co-op, it had been sitting on the market for an astounding 779 days. Saft describes how he "fell for it instantly," even though the walls were scuffed and the air was stale.

The Barbican will close its doors for 12 months from June 2028 as it undergoes a multimillion-pound renovation that its leaders say will secure its future. The arts organisation's Beech Street cinemas will remain open but its theatre, music venue, conservatory and visual arts galleries are set to shutter as the overhaul of the 43-year-old building begins in the lead-up to its 50th anniversary in 2032.

One of the things that I have seen not commented on was back to when the West Wing was built. It used to be on the west side of the White House there were large glass conservatories and stables for a short period of time. Those were all torn down, which allowed the colonnades to the west side and then the building of the West Wing. Nobody's talking about that, but that was just as large a project.

Deciding to renovate a listed building adds in a whole other level of skill and determination, not just from you, but from your professional team too. Whether it's the mysteries you uncover, the damage you find, or the planning constraints that can make design and purchasing more time consuming and costly, it's not a journey to take without gaining some understanding of just what's involved.
