Covent Garden Apartment sits atop a nineteenth-century Grade II Listed merchant’s house in London, United Kingdom, reimagined by Carmody Groarke as a duplex penthouse. The home pairs an aluminum rooftop pavilion with renovated interiors shaped for family life. Inside, walnut and ash temper the industrial gleam while new skylights pull light deep into the plan. It’s a composed, material-led project with a crisp exterior and a warm, crafted core.
Toga&Design unfolds atop a 16th-century building in Naples, Italy, where Nabi Interior Design reimagines a 220 sq m (2,368 sq ft) apartment for convivial living. The renovation in Chiaia restores period cues while shaping a crisp, contemporary mood anchored by a 65 sq m (700 sq ft) salon and a panoramic terrace. In two moves—bold color and tactile material—the home switches from parlor poise to rooftop ease without losing its historic thread.
Fidalga Penthouse sits in São Paulo, Brazil, where Gurgel D’Alfonso Arquitetura turns a duplex apartment into a lively home for a young family tied to food and hosting. The project rewrites the plan around a working kitchen fit for filming and everyday meals, then carries a tactile mix of materials through living areas and up to quieter rooms under a gabled roof. It feels purposeful and warm.
Immerse yourself in the charm of the Loft in Florence, a stunning example of eclectic design nestled in the heart of Italy’s artistic hub. This loft, a brainchild of the renowned Abimis is a Prismadanova Bureau, is a testament to the harmonious blend of past and present, art and architecture. Situated in the Oltrarno arts and crafts district, an area that has recently emerged as a vibrant contrast to monumental Florence, this loft is a treasure trove of unique experiences and stories.
Housed in a former 1950s factory, the loft reveals its extraordinary potential through its transformation into a cosy and sophisticated space. The refurbishment project has breathed new life into the industrial architecture, creating a large open space that stages everyday experiences, stories, and emotions in an autobiographic display of furniture, furnishings, design icons, and unique pieces.
