Home Sweede home
A dream team of owner, architect, and designer created this 12-room hotel in a residence, reminding the industry what hotels should be: places that feel like home, but ten times better.
Friends in high places
In Tokyo, The Share is an innovative scheme offering modest personal spaces linked to sprawling, well-designed communal areas, attracting a new breed of housemate who is happy to share.
The secret garden
In São Paulo’s inner-city bustle, a new home offers quiet solitude while retaining openness. The V4 house from MK27 architects invites nature, the neighbourhood and Monocle to share its space.
Bach life
Tucked inside woodland and backing onto a beach, this residence in New Zealand’s North Island is the most ambitious project to date from local practice Herbst Architects, using wood to blend into scenery.
Isolated state
On a trip to the northern Swedish archipelago, with just a few essentials, Monocle discovers an island bolthole perfect for recharging depleted batteries.
Life as art
Renowned textile artist Kay Sekimachi has lived in her Berkeley home for over 50 years. Indoors it’s a warm celebration of furniture and fabrics in which the artist's life very much imitates her art.
Paradise in the city
You'll find 'almost perfect' places to live from Munich to Melbourne. At Monocle, we’ve created the ideal mansion block, with nothing omitted. Now, who’s going to build it?
Northern light
Husband and wife Doug Yingst and Bonnie Sloane called upon self-taught architect David Salmela to create their vision of a light-filled residence between forest and lake, exemplifying the shifting northern seasons.
Rough and ready
At this beach house rental near Sydney, furniture and equipment is for sale via the owners’ interior design company. They’ve embraced its rough edges, creating a unique small house and small business.
