Matthew Williams (Bellport, New York)

The American architect and interior designer discovered this house in the town of Bellport, 80 km from Brooklyn (New York).

Her initial idea was to maintain the essence of the home, dominated by open spaces.

She wanted to intervene as little as possible to make it liveable.

For this, she chose the white palette, which unifies the painting of the entire house.

In the living room, she dared to paint the original wooden floor in this tone to achieve the same color range.

It was essential to resort to a practical decoration without artifice because the important thing was to give all the prominence to the structure.

"I used what I liked and at no point did I think twice about whether it was right," she says.

Thus, she kept the steel columns and beams and covered them with natural wood to give them a rustic look.

As for the furniture,

Mafalda Muñoz and Gonzalo Machado

The founders of the interior design studio Casa Muñoz have lived since 2020 in an apartment that occupies the first floor of an 18th-century building in the center of Madrid and that reflects their passion for Spanish art and design.

The house allowed them to preserve the original moldings and floors, elements that, they say, "provide a sense of permanence."

Tan and neutrals are combined in the concept of the living room, where they mix pieces with history with others by local artisans and artists, such as the union of a table by Mariano Fortuny with a mobile by Aurelia Muñoz, a pioneer textile artist, and some armchairs leather by the architect Javier Carvajal.

A lesson in decorating with art.

Kate Martin (ASH NYC), New York.

Will Cooper

This barely 50 m2 apartment is the home of the creative director of ASH, a haven of peace in the heart of Manhattan in which the white walls and floors are wrapped in furniture with an industrial concept.

In order to broaden the scope, Cooper introduced the mirror as a special kit and lined one front of the room for natural bounce light.

"I like the interior design of the cinema and, despite its austerity, my house is quite cinematographic," he says.

Functional but sophisticated aesthetic.

It is the letter of introduction of this Madrid interior designer.

In this former pheasant farm in the French Basque Country, which he turned into a guest house, she covered the walls with a sheet metal frame that contrasts with the wooden beams.

"You're most creative when you don't have a lot of money," she says.

Cozy furniture and color resources, such as the rug converted into a table mat, create a natural atmosphere.

Kasia Gatkowska (Antwerp)

Vincent Van Duysen

Wood, walls with personality and eliminating partitions were the premises of the award-winning Belgian architect in his house in Antwerp, where mobile panels delimit the spaces.

In the attic he covered the floor and part of the original exposed brick wall with 18th century oak boards.

The rest: work table, spotlights on the beams and a metal floor lamp.

Pure minimalism.
