A contemporary reinterpretation of a mid-century apartment in Moscow. Located in an experimental four-storey building dating from 1955, this 59 sqm apartment was completely reconfigured by Studio 5545, recovering additional space and enhancing the building’s original architectural character. The designers chose to respect its history while translating it into a contemporary language, drawing inspiration from the forms, materials and atmosphere of the 1950s–70s. Herringbone parquet, wood, vintage furniture and a soft blue palette create a refined dialogue between past and present.

The Banca Popolare di Verona, designed by Carlo Scarpa, is a work of great prestige and significance in the field of architecture. Created in the 1970s and completed in 1981 under the guidance of his partner Arrigo Rudi after Scarpa’s death, it represents a unique expression of the architect’s style and sensibility.Scarpa conceived the project with careful attention to historical and urban context, designing a façade that seamlessly integrated with the surrounding environment. His work is characterized by a rejection of conventional symmetries and a preference for creative and adaptable solutions, tailored to the specific needs of each project.Internally, Scarpa distinguished himself for his mastery of space and materials, creating dynamic and engaging environments. His attention to detail and his ability to transform even the smallest irregularities into elements of beauty and interest give the Banca Popolare di Verona an aura of authenticity and originality. Despite his premature passing, Scarpa’s work on the Banca Popolare di Verona remains a lasting tribute to his creative genius and innovative vision of architecture.

In 1935, Belgian modernist Jozef Schellekens built his own home as one half of a duplex in Turnhout. A quiet brick façade hides a joyful surprise: a geometric interior alive with built-in furniture, bold colour-blocked storage and playful details. Modernist restraint meets vibrant colour in a space that still feels fresh nearly a century later. Now a protected monument, it remains one of Schellekens’ most personal and inventive works.

A Haussmann apartment in Montmartre, Paris |
Set within a classic Haussmannian framework, this luminous apartment brings together historic architectural details, expressive colour, sculptural furniture and an eclectic selection of pieces. The interiors balance the elegance of Parisian tradition with a contemporary and highly personal approach, allowing original elements to coexist with unexpected forms, textures and references. A refined dialogue between past and present runs throughout the apartment, giving each space its own character while maintaining a strong sense of continuity.

On a quiet bend of the Birrarung, InPlace and Vaughan Howard Architects have revived a tired mid-century house into the serene River Bend, wrapping it in weathered Corten, laying warm eucalyptus-toned tiles, and opening it to sweeping valley views. With quiet restraint, they’ve honoured the original spirit while deepening its bond with Wurundjeri Country, creating a timeless sanctuary that feels eternally at home beside the river.

Casa en Penumbra |Teleno Studio 2025| Designed around the interplay of light and shadow, Casa en Penumbra reimagines a 56 m² apartment within a nineteenth-century building in the heart of Madrid. A sculptural oak volume, containing the bedroom and bathroom, becomes the project’s defining architectural gesture, organizing the living spaces into a fluid and continuous sequence.
Natural light is carefully filtered through layered textiles, while warm materials, satin finishes, mirrors, and stone create a restrained atmosphere where shadow becomes an active design element rather than the absence of light.
