This Neo-prairie style home with its wide overhangs and well shaded bands of glass combines the openness of an island getaway with a “C – shaped” floor plan that gives the owners much needed privacy on a 78’ wide hillside lot. Photos by James Bruce and Merrick Ales.

Belsize: a Village located in London’s Camden Town, where the charming semi-detached houses have been the home of personalities such as Tim Burton and the Gallagher Brothers, and have now become particularly desirable places to live. At the heart of the district, ten new apartments designed by Godfrey London Details have been created as an expression of the luxury and artistic mastery of the multi-award winning interior designer Poggenpohl. Here, Portraits stone-effect porcelain stoneware by Caesar, installed outdoors in the 60x 60 cm size and Faro colour, represents the ever-changing beauty of nature whilst granting the maximum freedom of design. The culture of Made in Italy material that distinguishes Caesar has also been chosen for some of the bathroom furnishings, in particular the elegance and brilliance of Anima marble-effect stoneware, in its Dark Emperador polished version, to give an unmistakable style and details that are never the same. Lastly, the reinterpretation of concrete of the Gate collection, in the subtle Breath colour, has been chosen for tiling the walls of the bathroom with harmony and originality to offer a refined and timeless look.

Replace worn furnishings with stylish white, lime, and turquoise metal furniture, designed to fit the scale and proportion of the space with practical Sunbrella fabrics in bright lime, turquoise, and white, repeated in combinations of solids, stripes, and diamond patterns, used with wise restraint and adding textural contrast to rough masonry, and shiny stainless steel for a smashing new look. Reinvent grandmother’s table and chairs with turquoise paint, new diamond seat cushions, and Vetrazzo for a great counterpoint to new contemporary furnishings. Photographer: Dan Piassick
