This interior features an open-plan living and dining area with views to the rear, where a mature garden infuses the elevated interior with lush greenery. Oozing warmth and functionality, the space is crafted from sustainable materials, all finished with a matte wax to enhance their natural beauty. A mid-century modern sideboard, alongside carefully selected artwork, introduces a timeless elegance. Dining chairs in black add a layer of contrast, complemented by large artwork and blue accents scattered throughout, enriching the space with subtle yet impactful touches of colour.

A calm, contemporary living space within this New England & Cape Cod–inspired home by Studio212 Ltd, opening seamlessly to the garden by Victoria Truman Garden Design. The large sliding doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, flooding the interior with daylight and framing views of layered planting. The scheme combines understated comfort with refined detailing: Sofas from Camerich anchor the lounge in soft neutrals. A round coffee table with nested design adds sculptural balance and function. The ceiling is defined by a Lira Lighting circular pendant and a statement Eichholtz chandelier, creating a layered lighting atmosphere. A tactile New King carpet grounds the composition in warmth and texture. Together, architecture, landscape, and furnishings create a sophisticated lifestyle setting — blending comfort, elegance, and a strong connection to nature.

The Cloud Villa is so named because of the grand central stair which connects the three floors of this 800m2 villa in Shanghai. It’s abstract cloud-like form celebrates fluid movement through space, while dividing the main entry from the main living space. As the main focal point of the villa, it optimistically reinforces domesticity as an act of unencumbered weightless living; in contrast to the restrictive bulk of the typical sprawling megalopolis in China. The cloud is an intimate form that only the occupants of the villa have the luxury of using on a daily basis. The main living space with its overscaled, nearly 8m high vaulted ceiling, gives the villa a sacrosanct quality. Contemporary in form, construction and materiality, the Cloud Villa’s stair is classical statement about the theater and intimacy of private and domestic life.

Open space living room in Wimbledon that overlooks a beautiful garden. The design would aim to seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living, taking full advantage of the natural beauty of the garden. Layout and Flow: The living room would feature an open-plan layout with large floor-to-ceiling windows or glass doors that provide unobstructed views of the garden. The idea is to create a sense of connection with nature, letting in abundant natural light and fresh air. The space would be airy and inviting, with a relaxed, modern aesthetic.
