Take My Apartment, Please!
You may look at this gorgeous Chicago apartment and say “Wow, the tenant must pay a pretty penny for rent”. Not so much. This particular tenant prefers to spend his money on the design elements filling the space, so he sublets his two adjoining one-bedroom rental apartments and sleeps in a coat closet with just […]

Brownstone Bombshell
This knock your socks off home is by Kelly Behun Studio and features a wonderful mix of ultra modernism and romantic classicism with a sprinkling of glam and graffiti on a black and white palette.

Seeing The Light
Through the use of both dramatic artificial lighting and skylights installed in the floor, this 1st floor apartment with basement is anything but dark and dreary. Thanks to a collaboration including award winning Porras & La Casta Architects this lovely Madrid apartment truly marries history with modern day while maintaining an air of whimsy. The common […]

16th Century Modern
Spanish architect Anna Noguera has transformed this 16th century building into a modern living space with a world of character.
