Inside the Vibrant London Home of House of Hackney's Cofounder
Visitors to Frieda Gormley and Javvy M Royle’s freshly redecorated house in London’s Hackney borough might want to pack a machete—it’s a jungle in there! Flowered papers climb walls and cross ceilings. Blossoming fabrics dress chairs and drape windows. Leafy carpets turn floors into meadows and the stairway into Amazonia. Vines dangle from newly opened skylights as thickly as fringe drips from sofas and lampshades.
Architect Dmitry Velikovsky Creates a Moscow Home | Architectural Digest
This article originally appeared in the December 2006 issue of Architectural Digest. If it's true, as many Russians are fond of saying, that sprawling, tumultuous Moscow is nothing more than a bolshaya derevnya —a big village—then the heart of that village must certainly be a place like Ostozhenka.
Samiya Al-Harthy Sheridan Creates a Tranquil Home on the Arabian Sea | Architectural Digest
This article originally appeared in the August 2008 issue of Architectural Digest. Everything you see in Oman stands out with crystal clarity, from the fretted outlines of ancient forts and mosques to the complex structures of the palm trees with their clashing fronds and clusters of golden dates. Colors look unusually intense, as if they had been distilled from the hot, dry air to keep the monotony of the outlying desert at bay. The whitewashed façades of the buildings gleam in the sun.
Anthony Russell Creates a Tranquil Retreat in Kenya | Architectural Digest
This article originally appeared in the January 2008 issue of Architectural Digest. The night the author of that bona fide classic, the imperishable Vanishing Africa , came to stay for the first time at her friend Elizabeth Warner's compound outside Nairobi, the house was indiscernible in the velvety darkness. "I had no idea what to expect," Mirella Ricciardi recalls.
Nick Plewman Builds a Sophisticated Safari Lodge in South Africa | Architectural Digest
This article originally appeared in the February 2008 issue of Architectural Digest. Tara Getty, grandson of J.P., appears to have inherited little of his family's eccentric legacy. The 39-year-old may be as press-shy as some of his forebears, but he's managed to carve out a life for himself that is, relatively speaking, downright normal.
Grant White Updates an 1835 London Residence | Architectural Digest
This article originally appeared in the April 2008 issue of Architectural Digest. London's Belgrave Square is as grand as classical domestic architecture gets. Its huge, cream-colored mansions and parklike private gardens exude stately ease and privilege. The square was built in the late 1820s on reclaimed marshland belonging to the Grosvenor family (the future dukes of Westminster), and it quickly became a choice address for aristocratic families who wanted to live close to Buckingham Palace.
Neil Rocher Creates a Safari Retreat in Zambia as an Ode to the Lush Landscape | Architectural Digest
This article originally appeared in the November 2009 issue of Architectural Digest. Chongwe River House, on the Lower Zambezi River, and Luangwa Safari House, bordering the South Luangwa National Park of Zambia, are most certainly not houses in the conventional sense of the word. The latter structure has no rear wall, and the first—well, it has no straight lines to speak of. But these exclusive safari retreats are equally remarkable.
An Elaborate Colonial-Style Haven in the Caribbean is the Ultimate Vacation Home | Architectural Digest
This article originally appeared in the February 2007 issue of Architectural Digest. What sort of wedding present do you give a princess? One can reasonably assume she already has all the candlesticks, table linens and serving platters she'll ever need.
A Luxurious Zimbabwe Residence | Architectural Digest
This article originally appeared in the December 2010 issue of Architectural Digest. Sorry we got cut off,” says Patrick Mavros on the telephone. “It's the baboons' fault. They roost up on the telephone poles, and sometimes they jump around and interrupt the signal.” As excuses go, this is certainly a novel one; but in the world according to Mavros, it's completely natural.
Look Inside an Elaborate Castle in France’s Loire Valley | Architectural Digest
This article originally appeared in the May 2011 issue of Architectural Digest. A Londoner with a love of the countryside found himself craving a decidedly un-British home as a weekend escape. For years he had owned a venerable estate in West Sussex, but after that was sold, the notion of spending time at a château in the depths of France seemed highly appealing. The question was, Where? The Loire Valley was hours away from his maisonette on the Left Bank in Paris and that felt too far.
Look Inside an English Country Home That Elegantly Blends Tudor and Jacobean Features | Architectural Digest
Marshcourt, hidden in the Hampshire, England, landscape 75 miles to the southwest of London, is nothing if not eccentric. To begin with, it is built of chalk, a material that had not been in regular use for two centuries at the time of its construction—in the early 1900s—and certainly not for a 12-bedroom country house.
A Sprawling Villa in Ibiza is Reimagined for a Family Keen on Entertaining | Architectural Digest
On a dreary winter day in London several years ago, entrepreneur Jane Gottschalk was flipping through real-estate listings, desperate to find a warm family getaway. “It was gray and rainy, and I was feeling awful. I was eight months pregnant with our third child in three years,” says the cofounder—with her husband, German financier Max Gottschalk—of Jax Coco, a premium brand of coconut water.
Paolo Moschino and Philip Vergeylen Revive a Drab London Home While Preserving Its 19th-Century Charm | Architectural Digest
Paolo Moschino and Philip Vergeylen cannot help acquiring beautiful and unusual things. This may be because, as one of London’s leading interior-design teams, they are constantly sourcing the rich and rare for their clients. Or simply because, as Moschino says, “we’re both—what’s the word? Shopaholics. You see, I have lived in London for 30 years and I still cannot speak the language.” In fact Moschino’s English is excellent, as is Vergeylen’s.
