Saint James Paris
Embedded in the distinguished fabric of Paris’ 16th arrondissement, the neoclassical beauty of the building built in 1892 – erstwhile home of Louis Adolphe Thiers, then a gentlemen’s club, and later turned hotel in 1991 – has now seen its story once again reinvented, only this time through the language of Laura Gonzalez. -

WOODS + DANGARAN
Brett Woods and Joseph Dangaran became friends long before they started sharing their studio where, since 2013, they have continued to express their meticulous and integrated vision, using a large team of collaborators to recreate the timeless beauty of Californian modernist houses.

The hill over the valley

Hotel Castello di Reschio
Surrounded as if by an unending natural canvas, dotted with olive groves, vineyards and oak and chestnut woods, it is in the Umbria region, bordering Tuscany, that the Hotel Castello di Reschio rises majestically. -
Light Contemplation
Through an accumulation of voids, stories multiply and a space is created “for meditation and balance”, bringing alchemy to modern life.
