The vintage leather "Cab

Here, a weeping blue atlas cedar grows gracefully over the juniper ground cover.

This vintage carved wooden panel is by ERA Industries.

Vintage hanging wall cabinets: Designed by Florence Knoll for Knoll Int. Vintage Sofa: Mario Bellini Camaleonda sofa for B&B Italia.

The interior is as open to its green spaces as the facade is closed to the street.

The living room sofa is from Article and the coffee table is from Burke Decor. The rug is vintage, and the fur chair was found at Urban Outfitters.

Occupants step down into the kitchen from the dining room. A run of cabinets with an integrated sink directly abuts the threshold between the rooms, where an original plaster archway also meets new ceiling joists.

Originally a scullery, this garden room connects to the back of the kitchen. The grooved timber wall conceals a powder room door.

This double-story addition to a detached Victorian house in Northcote creates a bridge between the existing building and its deep rear garden.

Situated outside the village of Burrowbridge in Southwest England, this historic property occupies the site of a 19th-century Baptist chapel.

That’s how Milla Novo and her husband, Nigel Nowotarski, came to live in the top of what was once a chapel. As you step into their apartment, large arched windows hint at its ecclesiastical past, but the couple’s eye-catching textiles and artworks—set against pristine white walls—make the biggest impression.

The great room acts as a kind of fulcrum for the L-shaped house: the vaulted apex of its roof and ceiling, and a combined living-dining-kitchen space for the clients and their children to gather.
