These elements create a balance between contemporary design and a familiar, comfortable café atmosphere. Photography: Polina Vyatkina... More

Rockett Studio designed the interiors of 67 Pall Mall Singapore, the first club outside Europe for London's private members' wine club. Perched high above Orchard Road, it occupies the former penthouse residence of the Shaw family, whose extraordinary legacy helped shape Singapore's film industry. Once home to glamorous soirées, the penthouse came with a wealth of stories, and we wanted the design to feel as though the club had always belonged there. Daniel Koh Working from the bare shell of the former office tower, we reimagined the space through its interior architecture, carefully planning the arrangement of members' lounges, bars, private dining rooms, guest amenities and circulation to create a series of interconnected spa...

The guest houses are part of the Seven Lakes restaurant and hospitality complex, located on the outskirts of Kyiv. Positioned directly along one of the lakes, the houses are designed as private spaces for relaxation, slowing down, and contemplating nature. For YOD Group, this project continues the work with the DNA of Seven Lakes, already established in the aesthetics of the Farm Table restaurant and the Synoptic outdoor pool. While these projects differ in function, what they have in common is a cohesive language of natural materials, a restrained colour palette, tactile textures, and an emphasis on proximity to nature.

This reception has been designed for one of the hotel buildings of Fomich Estates. It was created according to the principles of biophilic design and interaction with natural materials. The main feature of this space is its hybrid structure: the lobby is subtly integrated with the IL Panettiere bakery and a floral shop. Mykhaylo Lukashuk Mykhaylo Lukashuk Mykhaylo Lukashuk The focal point of the lobby is a 5-meter reception desk made of 150-year-old chestnut. This tree carries a trace of a natural event—its interior was left charred after a lightning strike. The massive trunk, 1.5 meters in diameter, is cut through by a 300-kilogram stainless steel plate. On one side, the plate doubles as a workspace for the hotel staf... More

A trophy usually marks the end of a contest. At COPPA, it became the beginning of a spatial narrative. Designed and realized by Ali Konya in Etiler, Istanbul, in 2008, COPPA Restaurant & Bar grew from a trophy concept proposed by clients connected to club culture. It also brought together Konya’s longstanding fascination with horses: their physical presence, character, strength, and grace. The experience begins in a high-ceilinged lobby. Trophies occupy framed recesses within a dark, mirrored grid, while two crystal chandeliers composed with suspended spoon forms introduce light and ceremony. Ali Konya Ali Konya Beyond the entrance, a large bar is defined by monumental, layered horse-head forms. Their stylized profile... More

Chungjang-ro has long been one of the central streets of Gwangju, shaped by the continuous flow of people over generations. Fashion, food, and culture naturally converge here, making it an urban lifestyle hub frequented by both younger generations and local residents. Through its cafes, shops, festivals, and performances, the street has accumulated layers of the city’s everyday life and collective memory. A place where tradition and modernity, the ordinary and the unexpected coexist, Chungjang-ro most vividly embodies Gwangju’s distinctive artistic energy and sense of freedom, captured in the phrase, ‘The Road of Art, Freedom, and Youth.’ Mingu Kang Mingu Kang Mingu Kang Mingu Kang Set within th...

Okavango Residences explores how the qualities of domestic architecture can inform a contemporary model for safari hospitality. Rather than organising accommodation as a collection of guest suites connected by communal facilities, the project reimagines the traditional safari lodge as a series of private residences, bringing the intimacy, permanence and familiarity of home into an immersive wilderness setting. Situated along the banks of the Okavango River, the architecture responds to the contrasting conditions of the site. Dense riverine woodland creates a sense of concealment on arrival, before the landscape gradually opens towards the river and expansive floodplains beyond. The residence is conceived around this transition, with a sequ... More

Texts from Wimberly Interiors:  Hengqin is an emerging city at the forefront of transformation within the Greater Bay Area of Zhuhai. Once peripheral, it is now defining itself as a destination — driven by new economic energy, world-class attractions, and an ambition to become a highly integrated, sustainable urban environment. Seth Powers To convey this sense of optimism, growth, and future-ready identity, Hotel Indigo Hengqin’s design vision by Wimberly Interiors is expressed through the concept of a “Tomorrow Land.” At its core stands the World Tree — a unifying symbol of resilience, connectivity, and sustained development. Grounded in nature yet aspirational in spirit, it reflects Hengqin’... More

Text from Wimberly Interiors:  Zhongshan is a city shaped by centuries of cultural exchange. Connected to the Maritime Silk Road, it absorbed influences from across the East and West, layering architecture of Lingnan courtyards, Nanyang verandas, and Western-style facades, to create a distinct and globally connected character. Rooted in tradition, the city celebrates festivals from the Ming and Qing dynasties where lanterns glow and dragon dancers weave their way through alleys, drawing communities to come together. Customs like paper cutting, embroidery, and lantern-making are reinterpreted for the present. THE DESIGN CONCEPT The design concept takes its cue from the city’s festival parade tradition. Rather than treating the... More

CHORA is the new extension of Domes of Elounda, part of the Autograph Collection, introducing a quieter, more intimate hospitality experience shaped by the Cretan landscape.

Patios, planted paths, private plunge pools and outdoor living spaces establish a continuous dialogue between architecture and landscape. Drawing on the... More
