Soft & Minimal refines a 130 sqm apartment in Ramat HaSharon, Israel with a quiet, monochrome palette. Designed by Shira Lavi BD, the home strips away partitions to form an open, balanced interior where terrazzo, brushed aluminum, and oak veneer anchor daily life. Calm furniture arrangements and carefully placed art keep the rooms light on visual noise while still feeling tailored and livable.
A Resolutely Maximalist Mini Loft condenses an entire visual universe into a compact apartment in Bagnolet, France, reimagined by ZYVA Studio’s founder Anthony Authié. Inside an industrial shell near Paris, the architect layers youth culture references, bold color fields, and cartoon-like furniture into an unapologetically graphic interior. What starts as a simple volume becomes a dense narrative of textures, objects, and memories that turns everyday domestic life into an ongoing visual story.
Nimbo unfolds inside an early apartment in Genoa, Italy, suspended above the historic center in the Castelletto district. Designed by Giulia Grillo in 2025, the renovation traces shifting light, restored terrazzo, and Moroccan cement tiles as they anchor a more fluid, contemporary sequence.

Contemporary Classic transforms a 200 sqm (2,153 sq ft) apartment in Monza, Italy, under the direction of designer Anna Arpa.

The apartment now reads as a generous family home, tuned to daily life yet grounded in Milan-area craft and a calm, layered material palette.

The renovation brings clarity to a compact plan while honoring the building’s historic shell.
