Falken Reynolds transforms a 1975 West Vancouver home with warm colors, layered materials, vintage lighting and a reimagined onyx fireplace. March 2025 | DESIGN & INTERIORS REVIVING HISTORY in WEST VANCOUVER words Karine Monie photos Ema Peter Photography interior design Falken Reynolds In West Vancouver, British Columbia, a 1975 home has been transformed into a living work of art by Falken Reynolds . Co-founders Chad Falkenberg and Kelly Reynolds, “The owner loved the soul of the house and was so clear about the life she envisioned living in,” recall Falkenberg and Reynolds. “While we were really intentional about the space planning and functional details, they fade into the background because of the eclectic layering of materials and forms. The house feels vintage and has a sense of history – onyx, bronzed glass, vintage lighting, the soft curves of the furniture.” A COLOR PALETTE IN HARMONY WITH ART The design journey began with a warm, sensuous foundation. “We wanted warm and sensuous colors as a foundational palette so the artworks could shine and the furnishings could be an extension of the art – both in their eclectic forms and also in their bold colors,” explain the design duo. The curated hues not only highlight the owner’s impressive art collection but also set a refined stage for the carefully chosen furnishings. TEXTURED LAYERS AND THOUGHTFUL MATERIALS Every surface tells a story in this meticulously renovated home. Light natural hardwood flows throughout the interiors, unifying spaces and grounding the design in its West Coast context. In the kitchen, Corian solid surface millwork was skillfully curved to soften the door fronts facing the water, diffusing light with an almost poetic elegance. Reclaimed brick-like tiled bases and backsplashes evoke a nod to another era, while vintage glass and crystal lighting add layers of glamour and playful charm. RE-IMAGINING A CHARACTER-FILLED FIREPLACE One of the most striking transformations is the reinstallation of a character-filled fireplace. Originally clad in unique onyx, the old fireplace was set to block the view until the homeowner decided on a daring change. Collaborating with master stonemason Robb Webb, the team salvaged the honey and amber hued onyx—an homage to the home’s storied past—and reinstalled it in a new curved design. RENOVATION WITH A CONTEMPORARY TOUCH Breathing new life into the historic structure, the renovation preserved the home’s inherent character while embracing modern functionality. By stripping the house back to its structure and reopening the spaces, Falken Reynolds maintained the large windows and skylights that frame the breathtaking views. KEY ARCHITECTURAL TRANSFORMATIONS Additional design highlights include a curated selection of 1970’s-inspired furnishings—such as the sculptural Tactile sofa by Baxter—that infuse the space with glamour and casual sophistication. From its layered materials to its artful reinstallation of historical elements, this West Vancouver home stands as a testament to Falken Reynolds’ ability to marry heritage with innovation. The result is a refined yet approachable space—an intimate, sensual retreat that not only celebrates its storied past but also offers a warm embrace for modern living.

Natalia Fedotova designs a country house in a pine forest, balancing Belgian minimalism, warm materials, and views of a quiet lake. January 05, 2026 | DESIGN & INTERIORS a QUIET HOUSE AMONG the PINES words YUZU Editorial | photos Elizaveta Gurovskaya Set within a pine forest and only a short walk from the edge of a calm lake, this country house was conceived as a lived-in retreat—one that balances daily life with a sense of withdrawal. Designed by interior designer Natalia Fedotova, the project draws on the restrained elegance of Belgian minimalism, translated into a domestic language that feels warm, practical, and quietly expressive. REWORKING THE PLAN Rather than working within the limits of the original developer’s plan, Fedotova chose to rethink the home from the inside out. A centrally placed winter garden was repurposed into a compact service core, housing a guest bathroom, a children’s washroom, pantry, and laundry. This move not only simplified the home’s technical infrastructure but also introduced a fluid, circular circulation—allowing daily life to unfold naturally, without interruption. Materiality sets the tone. Natural wood surfaces meet micro-concrete floors, while subtle chrome accents introduce a precise, contemporary edge. The palette remains intentionally soft and organic, keeping attention where it belongs: on the expansive forest views framed by the windows. The architecture steps back, letting nature lead. Moments of character appear quietly. An orange antoniolupi sink, vibrant cabinetry in the laundry room, and a curated mix of vintage lighting add rhythm without breaking the calm. Ceramics by Ekaterina Popova and artworks by contemporary artists—among them a linocut by V. Nasedkin and a painting by E. Bortnikov—are integrated with restraint, more discovered than displayed. The result is a home that feels both minimal and alive. Calm, but never impersonal. Designed to support family life rather than dominate it, the interior acts as a quiet framework—one that ultimately defers to its most enduring feature: the forest and lake just beyond the glass.

January 2023 | Design & Interiors below english Yeni Tank Française ile tanışın T ank Française saat koleksiyonu, Fransız stilinin ve zamansız Tank Koleksiyonu’nun hakkını veren varis olarak yeniden sahnede. Aslında Tank, tam anlamıyla “je ne sais quoi”. Yani kelimelerle ifade edilemeyen bu sade, sofistike, hem maskülen hem feminen saatin asıl farkı, klasik cazibesi! İlk lansmanı 1996’da gerçekleşen Tank Française, kısa zamanda kasasıyla kusursuz uyum içindeki metal bilezikle Tank ailesinin vazgeçilmez üyesi oldu. Cartier’nin mücevher ve saat kreatif direktörü Marie-Laure Cérède, yeni Tank Française için şu tanımı yapıyor: “Taşın ham doğasını yeniden keşfe çıkar gibi saatin radikal şekli yeniden ortaya konuldu. Temel hatlar sadeleştirildi ve efsanenin köklerine dönüş için saat tüm süslerden arındırıldı”. GEÇMİŞE VE GELECEĞE AİT KAHRAMANLAR Avantgart bir ruhun ifadesi Tank Française. Bu nedenle yeni kampanya filmi Paris’le, şehrin özgürlüğü ve yaratıcılığıyla yeniden bağlantı kuruyor. Bu filmle sinema ve Cartier’nin savunduğu kreatif özgürlük fikri ön plana çıkartılıyor. Ve Paris, güçlü kişiliklerle dolu uluslararası bir kitleyle çevrelenmiş haliyle filmin başrolünde. Yönetmenliğini Guy Ritchie’nin yaptığı filmde Rami Malek ve Fransız sinemasının efsanesi Catherine Deneuve oynuyor. Meet the new Tank Française T he Tank Française watch collection is back on the scene as the heir to the French style and the timeless Tank Collection. Actually, Tank is literally “je ne sais quoi”. In other words, the real difference of this simple, sophisticated, both masculine and feminine watch that cannot be expressed in words is its classic charm! Tank Française, first launched in 1996, soon became an indispensable member of the Tank family with its metal bracelet in perfect harmony with its case. Cartier's jewelery and watch creative director, Marie-Laure Cérède, describes the new Tank Française as follows: “The radical shape of the watch is reintroduced as if it were a rediscovery of the raw nature of stone. The basic lines have been simplified and the watch has been stripped of all embellishments to return to the roots of the legend”. Tank Française is the expression of an avant-garde spirit. That's why the new campaign film reconnects with Paris, the freedom and creativity of the city. With this film, cinema and the idea of creative freedom advocated by Cartier are brought to the fore. And Paris stars in the movie, surrounded by an international audience of powerful personalities. Directed by Guy Ritchie, the movie stars Rami Malek and French cinema legend Catherine Deneuve.

Seychelles unfolds from Four Seasons Mahé to a sailing journey through Curieuse, Praslin and La Digue, revealing wildlife, reefs and island landscapes. May 2025 | VOL 15 SEYCHELLES words Kristina Avdeeva photos Kristina Avdeeva + Niko Tsarev “Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We’ve just crossed the equator, marking our journey into the Southern Hemisphere. In about an hour, we’ll begin our descent into Mahé, where the turquoise waters and lush landscapes of the Seychelles await. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this beautiful flight.” Can a morning be more delightful than waking up to this phrase instead of an alarm clock? With a hot coffee in hand and the endless Indian Ocean bathed in the embrace of the rising sun outside the airplane window, it feels like the perfect beginning to an unforgettable journey. MAHÉ, FOUR SEASONS HOTEL Raindrops patter against the hood of the car as it carries us south from the airport toward the Four Seasons resort on Mahé. Along the way, it feels as though we’re driving through a massive botanical garden. The rain enhances the greenery, making it so vivid and surreal that it seems almost artificial. The plan is simple: a few days of blending water adventures with leisurely relaxation and candlelit dinners by the beach before venturing into the untamed wilderness of the islands. Arriving at Four Seasons Mahé, you are instantly immersed in the harmony of luxury and nature. The villas, tucked away on the hillside, feel like private sanctuaries, each with its own pool and breathtaking views of Petite Anse Bay. Yet the true hallmark of this place is its unparalleled, world-class hospitality—an experience so exceptional, it’s worth crossing an entire ocean for. Four Seasons Mahé is not just a destination; it’s a state of being. Here, there is no division between humans and nature. Every corner of this tropical labyrinth is alive, breathing, and full of wonder. The surrounding forest thrives with life. Among its residents, the Seychelles blue pigeon stands out, often spotted near the villas or along the pathways. One morning, as I sipped coffee on the terrace, a pigeon landed nearby, its iridescent feathers shimmering against the lush greenery—a gentle reminder of the joy found in life’s small moments. BOAT LIFE What if a comfortable sailing catamaran became our personal drifting island, offering the freedom to explore the Seychelles at our own pace, letting the wind decide our course? Drifting with the currents, spending a week in the company of curious travelers, we delve into the heart of the inner granite islands: Curieuse, Praslin, La Digue, Coco, Moyenne, and a few hidden gems along the way. CURIEUSE Flying fish leap out of the water, their tiny bodies astonishingly swift as they outpace our Lagoon 46 catamaran. Using their rear fins like propellers, they propel themselves far ahead, leaving a fleeting wake behind them. Terns dive into the water, and shearwaters cross our course in graceful arcs. On the horizon, the Curieuse Marine National Park comes into view—the first stop on our route as we sail through the channel between Praslin and La Digue. It feels as though we’ve passed through the gates of paradise, entering a realm of silence and stillness. This very feeling inspired Jacques Cousteau’s iconic film The Silent World, dedicated to the Seychelles. And rightly so! Such pristine air and the unspoiled voice of nature can only be found here. If zoological museums once showcased rare species of flora and fauna, they should now add to their collections—pure air and untouched wilderness. Curieuse is home to one of Seychelles’ most iconic inhabitants: the Aldabra giant tortoises. Hundreds roam freely across the island, their slow, deliberate movements a stark contrast to the ocean’s lively energy. Watching these gentle giants in their natural habitat is a humbling experience. Their ancient shells seem to carry the weight of time itself, as if they’ve witnessed Earth’s secrets long before humans arrived. The island’s red soil, unique mangrove forests, and quiet lagoons create a sanctuary for these remarkable creatures, reminding us of nature’s incredible resilience. PRASLIN Next on the route is Praslin, home to the legendary Vallée de Mai, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the only place on Earth where the rare coco de mer palms grow. These ancient trees produce the world’s largest seeds, shaped like a curvaceous human form, adding an air of mystique to the forest. Walking through Vallée de Mai is like stepping into a primeval world, where the canopy filters sunlight into golden beams and the rustle of palm fronds echoes through the stillness. Adding to the magic, you may spot the elusive Seychelles black parrot, a bird as rare as the forest it calls home. COCO ISLAND From Praslin, we set sail to tiny yet mesmerizing Coco Island, a jewel in Seychelles’ crown. Surrounded by a vibrant coral reef, it’s a haven for snorkelers and divers alike. Beneath the crystal-clear waters, schools of parrotfish, angelfish, and butterflyfish glide among coral gardens, creating an underwater kaleidoscope of colors. It was here that we had one of the most magical encounters of our journey—a meeting with two sea turtles gliding gracefully through the shallows. One of them, curious and unbothered by our presence, seemed to invite us into its world. As we swam alongside, it paused, allowing me to mimic a dance with its gentle movements. This unspoken connection felt like sharing a secret known only to the sea. LA DIGUE Our journey continues to La Digue, an island famed for its cycling trails and absence of cars. Once, there were only a couple of trucks here; now, a growing fleet of golf buggies shuttles tourists arriving by ferry. A few hundred meters from the port, the true adventure begins, weaving through coconut plantations, sleepy micro-villages, and winding paths where the only sound is the distant crash of waves. La Digue is one place we sometimes skip visiting ashore, yet we never miss anchoring nearby for a midday stop. From here, we access the island’s most hidden treasures—secluded beaches like Anse Marron, reachable only by boat or a daring hike. May they remain untouched, preserved as quiet sanctuaries where nature reigns supreme. DESROCHES, FOUR SEASONS RESORT Beyond the granite islands, our journey extends to the enchanting Amirante group, a remote coral atoll chain southwest of Mahé. Among them, Desroches Island stands out like a rare pearl. After two weeks under sail, we reached Desroches by plane—a transition from the rhythm of the sea to the hum of engines. With 14 kilometers of pristine coastline fringed by coconut palms, Desroches is a diver’s paradise, its vibrant reefs teeming with marine life. The Four Seasons Resort here redefines barefoot luxury. Nestled among lush vegetation, each villa offers privacy, with private pools and direct beach access. Yet what truly sets this retreat apart is its harmony with nature, from turtle conservation efforts to marine preservation initiatives. for more Print VOL XV - 2025 Out of Stock Add to Cart

The unique chandelier lighting overhead is crafted from Limoges porcelain by the lighting artisans Beau & Bien.

Casa Eréndira in Morelia, designed by Pepe Ramírez, brings light, shadow, gardens, and local materials together in a calm Mexican family home. October 1, 2025 | DESIGN & INTERIORS CASA ERÉNDIRA: LIGHT & SHADOW photos Cesar Belio Set in a traditional neighborhood of Morelia, the capital of Michoacán in central Mexico, Casa Eréndira was designed by architect Pepe Ramírez as a shared sanctuary for a mother and daughter. Both passionate about Mexican culture, natural materials, lush greenery, and the warmth of Michoacán’s artisanal craft, they envisioned a home that could embody these values not just in form, but in spirit. Ramírez responds with architecture that breathes. Open gardens frame a vegetable patch, interiors flow with greenery that weaves into daily life, and shifting light and shadow bring a quiet sense of mysticism. A study-library anchors the home—conceived as a vessel for their professional and documentary collection. Here, luxury is not about excess, but about the lived experience of space itself: the rhythm of daylight, the dialogue between plants and architecture, and a seamless integration with context. The house doesn’t seek to dominate its surroundings; instead, it grounds itself with humility, using local materials and native gardens to create an atmosphere of calm, freedom, and balance. The journey begins at the entrance and unfolds inward, leading to a rear garden that serves as the home’s visual and emotional focal point—an echo of Luis Barragán’s spatial poetics at Casa-Estudio. Toward the street, the façade stays discreet, its strength revealed in the quiet confidence of its volumes: assertive yet never ostentatious. Casa Eréndira is a reminder that architecture’s greatest gesture can be restraint—letting light, shadow, and nature tell the story.

Stockholm Design Days brings together Nordic design highlights, from Rörstrand’s 300th anniversary launches to new hotel suites and exhibitions. March 10, 2026 | DESIGN & INTERIORS the BEST of STOCKHOLM DESIGN DAYS words Maria Chiara Antonini New collections, new openings, new names: all the highlights that captured our attention in a Stockholm made even more enchanting by the snow. A WEEK OF INDEPENDENT DESIGN To understand the direction in which Nordic design is evolving and to discover the latest developments in interiors, Stockholm has long been the quintessential destination for design enthusiasts each February. This year, despite the cancellation of the official Stockholm Furniture Fair, numerous companies and studios independently organised a full week of presentations and events. The city buzzed with a shared commitment to celebrating Nordic creativity, fostering collaboration and innovation while strengthening synergies across the sector. Here are some of the discoveries that emerged from this remarkable week. RÖRSTRAND Rörstrand, Sweden’s oldest porcelain manufacturer and the second oldest in Europe, marks its 300th anniversary with two notable launches. The first is the archival relaunch of the iconic Blå Eld collection, designed by Hertha Bengtson, while the Swedish Grace glassware line is introduced in an elegant new blue shade. CLARION HOTEL SIGN Clarion Hotel Sign, designed by Gert Wingårdh and Stockholm’s largest hotel, has introduced three new signature suites in collaboration with the Bernadotte & Kylberg studio. Located on the hotel’s top floor, the Stratum Suites were created “to feel functional, harmonious and respectful of the outstanding view,” according to Oscar Kylberg, CEO of Bernadotte & Kylberg. The accompanying Stratum Collection furniture series—including a sofa, armchair, coffee table, desk and chair—is produced in Sweden, emphasising material quality, precision craftsmanship and long-term sustainability. WHERE FINNISH AND SWEDISH DESIGN MEET An atmospheric setting framed the exclusive Nordic design showcase Where Finnish and Swedish Design Meet. Held in a historic palace housing the Finnish Residence in Stockholm, the exhibition featured a curated selection of Nordic design by Ilkka Suppanen, emphasising cross-border collaboration between Finland and Sweden. Highlighted brands included Nola, known for inclusive public-space furniture, and Ihreborn, recognised for its sustainable production practices. NK INTERIOR — STAY CURIOUS Another remarkable exhibition was organised by NK Interior, featuring works by some of today’s most innovative designers. Titled Stay Curious, the showcase emphasised experimentation and artisanal skill. Highlights included the glassworks of Lisa Hilland, blown-glass lamps by SEKT, and the installation Forest by Mimmi Blomqvist. LAMMHULTS DESIGN GROUP The newly opened Lammhults Design Group showroom brings together the brands Lammhults, Abstracta, Fora Form and Ragnars under the concept Scandinavian Design. Multiplied. Led by CEO Susanna Hilleskog, the group presents its portfolio in inspiring environments, highlighting each brand’s identity while positioning design as a holistic solution. FERM LIVING Ferm Living unveiled its new collection, Imperfectly, Perfect, at the Nordic Nest Stockholm exhibition. The collection responds to evolving homes and daily routines, featuring the sculptural Orbo lounge chair, Kiru glassware crafted using the Japanese Kurinuki technique and the Aukko coffee table. It reflects Ferm Living’s focus on tactile materials, refined craftsmanship and functional versatility. LOUIS POULSEN At the Nordic Nest exhibition, Louis Poulsen celebrated the centenary of Verner Panton by reissuing the iconic Panthella lamp in its five original 1970s colours. “A deliberate choice,” explains Bank Bergström, CEO of the Nordic Nest Group, “intended to reconcile two complementary tendencies among our customers: the desire to acquire timeless design classics imbued with strong emotional value, and the wish to experiment with new colours. For us, it is an ongoing challenge to strike the right balance between heritage and innovation.” MIZETTO Two further events particularly captured our attention. The inauguration of the new showroom of Mizetto reflects a clear and forward-looking vision. As founders Malin Muskala and Richard Muskala explained, the intention is “to explore how furniture can function as systems, how flexibility can be architectural, and how design can create structure without limiting possibility.” STOCKHOLM CREATIVE EDITION Last but not least, Stockholm Creative Edition brought together designers and brands through an experimental exhibition format. The new edition offered a dynamic platform enriched by several promising names to watch, including Jenny Kästel of DRY STUDIOS, Myrsini Alexandridi, Mattsson Marnell and Studio Navet. We are confident that we will be hearing much more from them in the near future.

Erik Johansson discusses surreal photography, constructed scenes, and creative freedom in an interview about Among Shadows at Kadıköy Yeldegirmeni Sanat. October 1, 2025 | Art & Culture TR BELOW the WORLD NEEDS a LITTLE MAGIC interview Onur Baştürk photos Eric Johansson portrait photo Dahahm Choi Swedish artist Erik Johansson is known for his surreal compositions that blend photography, illustration, and digital manipulation. His latest exhibition “Among Shadows,” on view at Kadıköy Yeldegirmeni Sanat until October 12 as part of 212 Photography Istanbul, invites visitors into dreamlike worlds where roads dissolve into darkness, buildings shift with the angle of light, and skies merge seamlessly with the ground BOTH FREEDOM AND CONSTRAINT You’ve said your aim is not to capture moments but ideas. How would you describe the journey from the first spark of an idea to the final image? It’s a long journey—sometimes it takes years. The more I plan, the better the result usually becomes. But I always work on many projects in parallel, giving each the time it needs to unfold naturally. Realism plays such an important role in your work. What is the most challenging part of turning a surreal idea into a believable scene? To make it look realistic, I try to capture as much as possible on location—building props, bringing models and equipment on site whenever I can. Light and perspective are crucial to get right when combining different elements into the final image. While many photographers strive to capture spontaneity, you construct your scenes. What kind of freedom does this approach give you? It’s both freeing and limiting at the same time. But I believe creativity often thrives under a degree of restriction. The imagination is endless—boundaries can actually help shape it. You handle all the post-production yourself. Why is it so important to keep that control? Yes, I do everything myself. It’s essential because I want full control, but also because I see post-production as part of the creative process. Sometimes I discover ideas in that stage that I wouldn’t have thought of otherwise. IT’S MORE FUN TO BUILD THINGS Lighting and perspective are crucial in your compositions. How do you prepare to get these elements right? I use flashes, tripods, and different techniques to solve challenges. Usually, I start by shooting the part of the image with the trickiest perspective—maybe a building that has to be captured from a very specific angle. Then I match everything else to that key shot. You often build props and physical elements for your shoots. Why is it important to construct things physically rather than rely only on digital methods? It’s simply more fun to build things. But more importantly, it makes the result more realistic and gives the models something tangible to interact with. Whether it’s a moon, a lever, or just a heavy object shaped like what I want to capture—it brings authenticity to the scene. Your images often contain subtle references to our relationship with the environment. How do environmental concerns influence your art? I’m influenced by everything I see and experience, and the environment is something close to my heart. It’s a theme I keep returning to. Many of your works evoke a state between dream and reality. What emotions do you hope viewers experience when they look at your images? I want to open their senses—to help them see the world differently, to show that things don’t always have to be as we expect. In a way, I want to bring out their inner child. Sometimes the world just needs a little magic. Which artists or disciplines inspire you? René Magritte, M.C. Escher, Salvador Dalí, Rob Gonsalves, Thomas Öberg (musician), Sven Nordqvist (children’s book illustrator), and of course, classical painters. DÜNYANIN SİHRE İHTİYACI VAR Fotoğraf, illüstrasyon ve dijital manipülasyonu bir araya getiren sürreal kompozisyonlarıyla tanınan İsveçli sanatçı Erik Johansson, hayallerle gerçeklik arasındaki sınırları sorgulayan işler üretiyor. 212 Photography Istanbul kapsamında 12 Ekim’e kadar Kadıköy Yeldeğirmeni Sanat’ta görülebilecek “Gölgelerin Arasında” sergisi, izleyicileri karanlığa karışan yollara, ışığın açısına göre şekil değiştiren binalara ve gökyüzünün yerle birleştiği düşsel sahnelere davet ediyor. Amacınızın anları değil, fikirleri yakalamak olduğunu söylüyorsunuz. Bir fikrin zihninizde ilk kıvılcımından son görüntüye kadar olan yolculuğu nasıl tanımlarsınız? Bu uzun bir yolculuk. Bazen yıllar alıyor. Ne kadar çok plan yaparsam sonuç da o kadar iyi oluyor. Ama aynı anda birçok proje üzerinde çalışıyorum; böylece her birine ihtiyaç duyduğu zamanı tanıyabiliyorum. İşlerinizde gerçekçilik önemli bir rol oynuyor. Sürreal bir fikri inandırıcı bir sahneye dönüştürmenin en zor yanı nedir? Gerçekçi görünmesi için olabildiğince sahada çekim yapmaya çalışıyorum. Dekor inşa ediyorum, modelleri ve ekipmanları yanımda götürüyorum. Işık ve perspektifi doğru yakalamak çok önemli. Çünkü farklı unsurları nihai görüntüde bir araya getirirken her şey buna bağlı oluyor. HEM ÖZGÜRLÜK HEM KISITLAMA Birçok fotoğrafçı spontane anları yakalamaya çalışırken siz sahnelerinizi inşa ediyorsunuz. Bu yaklaşım size nasıl bir özgürlük sağlıyor? Hem özgürlük hem de kısıtlama getiriyor. Ama bence yaratıcılık çoğu zaman belli sınırlar içinde daha iyi gelişiyor. Hayal gücü sonsuz; sınırlar onu biçimlendirmeye yardımcı olabiliyor. Tüm post-prodüksiyon sürecini kendiniz yapıyorsunuz. Bu kontrolü elinizde tutmak neden bu kadar önemli? Evet, her şeyi kendim yapıyorum. Çünkü tam kontrol sahibi olmak istiyorum. Ayrıca post-prodüksiyonu da yaratıcı sürecin bir parçası olarak görüyorum. O aşamada bazen hiç düşünmediğim şeyleri keşfedebiliyorum. BİR ŞEY İNŞA ETMEK DAHA EĞLENCELİ Kompozisyonlarınızda ışık ve perspektif çok kritik. Bu unsurların doğru yakalanması için nasıl hazırlanıyorsunuz? Flaşlar, tripodlar ve farklı teknikler kullanıyorum. Genelde işe en zor perspektife sahip kısmı çekerek başlıyorum—mesela belirli bir açıdan çekilmesi gereken bir bina gibi. Sonra diğer tüm fotoğrafları bu ana kareye uyacak şekilde çekiyorum. Çekimler için sık sık dekor ve fiziksel öğeler inşa ediyorsunuz. Dijital yöntemlere güvenmek yerine bunları fiziksel olarak kurmak sizin için neden önemli? Bir şeyler inşa etmek çok daha eğlenceli. Ama daha da önemlisi, sonucu daha gerçekçi kılıyor ve modellerin de sahnede etkileşime girebilecekleri bir şey oluyor. İster bir ay, ister bir kaldıraç ya da sadece istediğim forma benzeyen ağır bir cisim olsun—bu etkileşim sahneyi daha inandırıcı yapıyor. İZLEYİCİNİN DÜNYAYA FARKLI BAKMASINI İSTİYORUM Fotoğraflarınızda çevreyle ilişkimize dair ince göndermeler bulunuyor. Çevresel kaygılar sanatınızı nasıl etkiliyor? Etrafımda gördüğüm ve deneyimlediğim her şeyden etkileniyorum. Çevre ise kalbime yakın bir konu; sürekli dönüp dolaşıp işlerime geri giriyor. Birçok işiniz izleyicide rüya ile gerçek arasında bir yerde olma duygusu uyandırıyor. Siz izleyicinin hangi duyguları yaşamasını umuyorsunuz? Duyularını açmalarını, dünyaya farklı bakmalarını istiyorum. İçinde yaşadığımız dünyanın her zaman beklediğimiz gibi olmak zorunda olmadığını fark etmelerini… İçlerindeki çocuğu uyandırmak gibi. Dünyanın bazen biraz sihre ihtiyacı var. Çalışmalarınızla birçok insana ilham verdiniz. Sizi kimler ya da hangi disiplinler besliyor? René Magritte, M.C. Escher, Salvador Dalí, Rob Gonsalves, Thomas Öberg (müzisyen), Sven Nordqvist (çocuk kitabı illüstratörü) ve tabii klasik ressamlar.

Nitekim Pablo Picasso, Fernand Léger, Jean Cocteau, Henri Matisse ve Vallauris kasabasından çıkma nefis seramik işler, otelin genel ruhunun bir özeti. Bir bakıma, 20. yüzyıl ortalarında sanatçılara fazlasıyla ilham vermiş coşkulu Côte d’Azur’a bir saygı duruşu gibi Hotel Le Sud. Bu nedenle otelin tasarımında kiremitli duvarlar, kumtaşı, terracotta, rattan gibi ayrıntılarla yerel zanaatkârlar tarafından yapılan özel tasarım mobilyalar başrolde. Aynı şekilde, otelin logosundan tutun da, duvarlar ve barda göze çarpan fresklerini tasarlayan sanatçı Franck Lebraly de öyle... FOLLOWING PICASSO, LEGER AND MATISSE words | Rengin Atik I f you want to stay in a delicate hotel with the artistic spirit and soft tones of the Côte d ‘Azur, Hotel Le Sud should be at the top of your list. Opened in the summer of 2020, the hotel is located in Antibes, right in the center of Juan- Les-Pins. The creators of Le Sud are Julien Lizée and Stéphanie Lizée, one of the founders of the “Lizée.Hugot” architectural office. TRIBUTE TO CÓTE d’AZUR The cultural and artistic richness of the region where the hotel is located has been a great source of inspiration both in the color palette choice and in graphics and decoration. Stéphanie says that after visiting the Picasso Museum in Antibes and the Fernand Léger Museum in Biot she decided on the hotel’s color palette: terracotta shades, green, yellow, and Klein blue. Indeed, the exquisite ceramic works from the town of Pablo Picasso, Fernand Léger, Jean Cocteau, Henri Matisse, and Vallauris are a summary of the overall spirit of the hotel. In a way, Hotel Le Sud is like a tribute to the enthusiastic Côte d ‘Azur that inspired artists in the mid-20th century. Thus, tiled walls, details of sandstone, terracotta, and rattan, and designer furniture made by local artisans have a leading role in hotel’s design. Likewise does the artist Franck Lebraly, who designed the prominent frescoes of the walls, bar, and hotel logo. for more Print VOL X - AEGEAN & MEDITERRANEAN EDITION - 2023 Out of Stock Add to Cart

Studio HA/WA designed a West Coast Contemporary bungalow in Qualicum Beach, using local materials, natural light, and ocean views to shape its interiors. March 2025 | DESIGN & INTERIORS a SEASIDE HOME in BRITISH COLUMBIA words Karine Monie photos Mary McNeill Knowles Creative interior design Studio HA/WA stylist Monika Tischer On the Eastern coast of British Columbia’s Vancouver Island, a newly completed bungalow is redefining West Coast living with a burst of natural light, smart design, and local craftsmanship. Nestled along the tranquil shores of the Strait of Georgia in Qualicum Beach—renowned for its endless white sands and serene waters—this home delivers unbeatable views and a vibrant connection to its surroundings. DESIGN THAT CELEBRATES NATURE AND CRAFTMANSHIP Infused with West Coast Contemporary style and a modern twist, this two-bedroom, two-bath bungalow is all about bringing the outdoors in. Expansive windows showcase breathtaking treetops, soft ocean hues, and a calming sky, while a palette of neutral tones, warm wood finishes, and cool blue accents echoes the nearby ocean. Every detail is meticulously curated—locally sourced stone slabs from Vancouver Island Marble make a striking impact in the main bath, kitchen, and fireplace, and these textures resonate through the furniture, rugs, and even the principal bedroom walls. Local talent shines with original artwork by Victoria-based Joy Kinna, and bespoke lighting from B.C.-based AND Light adds a contemporary flourish. A STUDIO WITH VISION The creative force behind this project is STUDIO HA/WA, led by founder and creative director Erin Hannon-Watkinson, whose experience at Yabu Pushelberg informs a design approach that’s as eco-conscious as it is stylish. “Our projects are designed with their surroundings in mind to ensure longevity and lessen our impact on the environment,” Erin explains. A SEAMLESS BLEND OF FORM AND FUNCTION Inspired by West Coast Contemporary cues like vaulted roof lines and clean overhangs, the design is a masterclass in marrying form and function. Each space flows naturally into the next, unified by a consistent design language that celebrates nature. Here, large windows and doors aren’t just features—they’re dynamic frames showcasing nature’s ever-changing artwork, from lush treetops to sweeping ocean vistas. LOCALLY ROOTED, GLOBALLY INSPIRED Drawing from the calming essence of its natural surroundings, the interior blends neutral tones with subtle blue/grey undertones and warm wood accents. A strong local focus is evident, with community-sourced materials like stone, wood, and lighting fixtures enriching every corner. The natural grain of the stone—highlighted in the travertine-clad ensuite, linear fireplace stone, and pebbled-look floor tiles—brings a unique, tactile quality that grounds the entire home in its coastal character.

Brown&Brown creates slow-living homes in Aberdeenshire, drawing on Scottish architecture, natural materials, and sustainable design. January 14, 2026 | VOL 15 HOME, a QUIET ESCAPE from the NOISE of the WORLD words Onur Baştürk photos Courtesy of Brown&Brown If you’ve ever driven through Aberdeenshire’s scenic roads, stepped out early for a morning walk from a cozy town hotel, or toured a whisky distillery, you’ve probably felt the region’s unique slow rhythm—like it’s whispering a story to you. That same feeling is being brought to life in architectural projects across Aberdeenshire and beyond by Brown&Brown, an award-winning studio shaping modern Scottish architecture. With offices in both Aberdeenshire and Inverness, their ethos is perfectly in tune with the character of the region: creating well-considered, conscious, and understated homes. Cairn House THE CONCEPT OF SLOW LIVING ALIGNS PERFECTLY WITH THE IDEA OF VALUING ONE’S HOME. IT EMPHASIZES A MINDFUL APPROACH TO LIFE I ask Andrew Brown, one of the founders of Brown&Brown, “Your residential projects seem to embody the philosophy of slow living. What are your thoughts on this concept, which has gained popularity in recent years?” Andrew responds, “The concept of slow living aligns perfectly with the idea of valuing one’s home. It emphasizes a mindful approach to life, encouraging individuals to savor moments, appreciate their surroundings, and cultivate a genuine connection with the present. In the rush of modern life, embracing a slower pace allows for a deeper appreciation of the simple pleasures that a well-loved home can offer. Mindfulness, in the context of home, involves being fully present and engaged in the living space. It means appreciating the subtle details, the play of light through the windows, the tactile qualities of materials, and the comforting ambiance that permeates the space. We try to bring these considerations to our residential projects and make a conscious effort to consider how someone could live well in any space we create.” Arbor House | PH. Jim Stephenson Alongside slow living, there has also been a rise in homes designed with a retreat-like quality. Could the challenges of chaotic city life be driving more people toward secluded living? I share this thought with Andrew and ask for his take: “We’re not sure what causes people to seek seclusion in their homes, but it could certainly be the pressures of modern life. It is harder than ever to ‘turn off’ from the world, from work, and from noise. As a result, the notion of ‘home’ as a place where you can leave the world behind, both literally and metaphorically, has never been more relevant.” I then ask Andrew what ‘home’ means to him. “Our own sense of home is wrapped up in notions of seclusion and retreat,” he explains. “Feeling at home means being at ease, leaving the worries of the world behind, and having the opportunity to focus on life’s simpler aspects.” Harmony House | PH. Dapple Photography OUR WORK DRAWS FROM THE TRADITIONS OF SCOTTISH ARCHITECTURE Our conversation shifts to the design process. “Every project begins with learning from the client,” Andrew shares. “We start by understanding what they like and dislike, how they want to live, how they spend time together or alone, what their interests are, and so on. From this foundation, we begin forming a picture of how a home can be designed around these elements. Context is also central to our work—getting to know the land, understanding how a building can integrate into the landscape is crucial for us.” I ask whether there is a particular architectural movement that inspires Brown&Brown. Andrew’s answer is clear: “Our work draws from the traditions of Scottish architecture, particularly those that respond to natural materials and the surrounding landscape. Additionally, we take inspiration from many mid-century modern buildings.” Sustainable architecture is a widely discussed topic among architectural studios, yet for many, it remains theoretical rather than practical. I know that one of Brown&Brown’s key focuses is minimizing their projects’ carbon footprint, but I’m curious about the other sustainable strategies they implement. Andrew explains: “We adopt a ‘sustainable by design’ approach, rather than buildings only being sustainable by the addition of renewable technologies. These systems are important, of course, but a home works best when simple sustainable strategies are integrated into the design from the outset. Considerations such as orientation, thermal mass, natural cross-ventilation, and locally sourced materials create the conditions that allow technologies such as sustainable heating and ventilation systems to function at their best.” Hillview Pavilion CONTEXTUAL RESPONSE, LIGHT AND LINE Tidal House, Arbor House, Cairn House, and Harmony House—when I ask Andrew about the common material and stylistic elements among these Brown&Brown projects, he sums them up succinctly: “Contextual response. Light and line. Tactile material palettes. In short, they are designed around how the inhabitants want to live”. One project that stands out with its integration of landscaping is Hillview Pavilion, where part of the roof is dedicated to greenery. On this, Andrew remarks: “We believe a home’s design doesn’t stop at the outer walls. How it meets and interacts with its landscape—whether it becomes a part of its surroundings—is essential to its success”. Tidal House

Fantastic Frank Frankfurt features Grand Etage Arndtstrasse, a Japanese-inspired home in Frankfurt’s Westend with Bulthaup and Boffi interiors. August 15, 2025 | DESIGN & INTERIORS HARMONIOUS LIVING in FRANKFURT’s WESTEND & words Matteo Pazzagli photos Fantastic Frank Frankfurt A Grand Etage with Japanese soul, Bulthaup precision, and Boffi elegance — from Fantastic Frank Frankfurt. In the leafy southern Westend, within a stately Wilhelminian-era building, this newly renovated Grand Etage takes over the entire first floor, framing serene courtyard views where century-old trees set the tone for refined urban living. From the moment you step inside, the mood is set by a dark bamboo-clad hallway that opens into airy, light-filled rooms. Ceiling heights reaching four meters lend a gallery-like presence — perfect for art collectors — while the design strikes a seamless balance between contemporary comfort and traditional craft. Handmade shoji screens filter the light, and works by acclaimed artists such as Manfredo de Souzanetto and Issao Takahashi bring cultural depth and quiet drama. At the heart of the home, a sleek Bulthaup kitchen anchors the open living-dining space. Its crisp white surfaces and brushed steel detailing are understated yet exacting — a place where cooking, conversation, and entertaining flow with ease. Elegant stucco mouldings and layered lighting add a touch of formality, without compromising on warmth. The master suite is conceived as a private retreat, with double doors leading to a tranquil space that includes a mobile infrared sauna in rich dark cherry wood. A Japanese tea room invites slow rituals and moments of stillness, while the Boffi and RS Schnitzer bathrooms wrap daily routines in tactile luxury. Set in one of Frankfurt’s most coveted districts, the Grand Etage Arndtstrasse offers the best of both worlds — calm, tree-lined streets and a vibrant neighborhood scene. Grüneburgpark and the Palmengarten are a short stroll away, while nearby cafés, restaurants, and wine bars make city life effortlessly engaging. Practicalities are equally well-considered: a separate wine cellar, generous storage rooms, and a private garage space complete this rare find.

Mayıs 2020 | Seyahat | Japonya Kyoto’da bir ‘ryokan’da kaldım Yazı & Fotoğraflar | Özlem Avcıoğlu Ş u kesinlikle doğru: Japon kültürünü tanımak istiyorsanız mutlaka Kyoto’yu ziyaret etmelisiniz. Çünkü şehir üç yüzyıla yakın Japonya’nın başkenti olduğu için sayısız tarihi ve kültürel mekânı barındırıyor. Ayrıca zen bahçeleri, tapınakları, sokakları ve parklarıyla insan kendini bir filmin içinde gibi hissediyor Kyoto’da. Saatte 320 km hızla gidebilen meşhur Shinkansen, yani hızlı trenle Tokyo’dan 2.5 saatte ulaşılan Kyoto’da deneyimlemeniz gereken en önemli şey bir ‘ryokan’da konaklamak. Ryokan, geleneksel Japon hanı ya da otellerine verilen isim. Katı kural ve prensipleri var. Bir ryokana geldiğinizde ilk iş ayakkabılarınızı kapı önünde çıkarmak. Sadece çorap ya da size verdikleri tokyo ile içerde dolaşabiliyorsunuz! Ryokanlarda sizi geleneksel bir çay seremonisiyle karşılıyorlar. Odaların isimleri de genellikle Japon çiçek ve bitki isimlerini taşıyor. Krizantem süiti, kiraz süiti gibi… Odaların içinde giymeniz için her zaman yukata denilen rahat bir kıyafet bulunuyor. Yemeğe giderken, ryokanın bahçesinde dolaşırken bunu giymeniz bekleniyor. SADECE YER YATAĞI VAR Bütün odaların Japon stilinde döşeli olduğunu hatırlatayım. Yerler tatami denilen, döşeme kaplama gereci olarak kullanılan kalın hasırla kaplı. Odalar fusuma adı verilen kağıt kaplamalı, ince tahtadan yapılma sürme kapılarla ayrılmış. Ryokanlarda futon denilen yer yataklarında yatılıyor. Futonlar genelde oshi-ire denilen dolapların içinde. Akşamları futonları sermek ve sabah kaldırmak oda temizlikçisinin görevi. Kahvaltınız ise sabah odanıza getiriliyor ve tabii ki Japon usulü yiyeceklerden oluşuyor. Ben ryokan deneyimi için Arashimaya bölgesinde, sadece geleneksel bir botla ulaşılan, nehir kıyısındaki Hoshinoya Kyoto ’yu seçtim. Yüzyıllık binaların birinde yer alan Hoshinoya’da neler mi yaptım? Elbette kurala uyup odama ayakkabılarımı çıkararak girdim. Sabahları nefis Japon kahvaltısı yaptım. Zen bahçesinde dinlenip çay merasimine katıldım. Akşamları ise sadece otel misafirlerine hizmet veren, tek tek odalardan oluşan restoranda Kyoto mutfağından minik ama hepsi bir tabloyu andıran yemekleri tattım. Ryokanlarda kalmak istemiyorsanız Aman zincirinin yeni oteli Aman Kyoto, Four Seasons, Westin Miyako ya da Hyatt Regency ’de konaklayabilirsiniz. Bu otellerin içinde de ryokan tarzı döşenmiş odalar bulmak mümkün. BU TAPINAKLARA GİDİLMELİ İkibinden fazla tapınağa sahip şehirde görmeniz gereken en önemli tapınak Altın Pavilyonu ile bilinen Kinka-Ku-Ji. Ayrıca, instagramda sıkça fotoğrafına rastladığımız dört kilometre uzunluğundaki kırmızı tahta kapılardan geçilerek ulaşılan Fushimi Inari Shrine ile her gün rahiplerin ince kumdan elleriyle yaptığı Zen bahçeleriyle bilinen Kodaji Temple da görülmesi gerekenler arasında. GEYŞALARIN BÖLGESİ Kyoto’nun tarihi Gion bölgesi artık sayısı oldukça azalan geyşaların yatılı okullarının da bulunduğu yer. Buradaki sokaklar yerel kıyafetleriyle dolaşan insanlarla dolu olduğu için en çok fotoğraflanan bölge burası Kyoto’da. Aynı zamanda birçok kafe, restoran, ryokan tarzı otel ve başta kimono olmak üzere el yapımı yerel eşya satan dükkân ve butiklere ev sahipliği yapıyor Gion . UNUTMADAN… - Arashiyama bölgesindeki Sagano Bambu Ormanı da Kyoto’da görülmesi gereken, kendinizi çok dingin ve iyi hissedeceğiniz bir yer. - Yemek yemek için çok seçeneğiniz var, ama ben bir çeşit Japon fondüsü olan, et ve sebzeleri önünüzdeki tencereye atarak pişirdiğiniz ‘shabu shabu’yu öneririm. Ama unutmayın, bu özel yemeği servis eden restoranlarda ayakkabılarınızı çıkaracak ve yerde oturacaksınız. Agotsuyu Shabu Shabu bu anlamda en iyi restoranlardan biri. - Nishiki Market ise geleneksel Japon mutfağına özgü her şeyi bulabileceğiniz bir pazar yeri. Taze balıklardan mutfak araç gereçlerine, sezonluk gıdalardan Japon tatlılarına ve tabii sushiye kadar yeme içmeyle ilgili her şey mevcut burada.

M eet the latest house project designed by escapefromsofa, the design studio led by Mahmut Kefeli, Kerem Erçin and İrem Başer Oğan, in Caddebostan, Istanbul. To create the bohemian and dramatic design of the house inspired by the midcentury modern style, an Italian parquet made of mutenya wood was used on the all floors. Eucalyptus veneer, which creates a contrasting color with this parquet, is the main material of the walls and doors. For example, the kitchen has a dark green eucalyptus coating designed by escapefromsofa. The marble in the kitchen was purchased from Bianco Carrara. The sofa in the upper living room is Cassina's Soriano, the side tables are also Cassina, and the middle coffee table is escapefromsofa design. The pedestal black lighting is from DCW's Mantis series. The parquet flooring here was chosen from Parkfloor. The big artwork on the wall belongs to Çağatay Odabaş. The artwork on the console is by Sevim Kaya. The material of the staircase banister on the upper floor is very different: it is made of Iranian travertine. A wall was created with the walnut veneer in front of the banister. The sofa downstairs is by Ceccotti, and the chairs are by Pierre Jeanneret.
