Tales of the city
In the Greek capital, a mid-century apartment block gets a modern facelift.
Hidden gem
The angled roof of this secluded Ligurian residence complements its wild surroundings and offers its owners a quiet coastal escape from the bustle of city life.
Raising the roof
The secluded Maison Bukana hotel in the Philippines and La Halle aux Grains restaurant in Paris are taking their respective fields to new heights.
Residents elect
As members of one of Denmark’s largest housing co-operatives, the occupants of one cobbled Copenhagen thoroughfare are a community in control. We meet the neighbours in Nørrebro.
Where the heart is
We need to live in places that can sustain us, will age with grace and that are parts of bigger communities. 'The Monocle Book of Homes' is a handbook for creating these vital spaces
Easel living
Why rent expensive studio or gallery space when you can create and showcase at home? Meet the real artists in residence.
Light relief
In Portugal’s Alentejo region, designer and entrepreneur Francesco Ippolito has built a modernist off-grid sanctuary that paves the way for his plans to create a high-end, design-focused retreat.
Live together
We recommend reverting back to a housing model devised by Jews at the turn of the 20th century.
Go clubbing
Hong Kong’s newest private club, Carlyle & Co, is making a splash on Kowloon waterfront.
In good hands
Rural retreats don’t have to be stone cottages. There’s room for sophisticated buildings that complement their surroundings too. Barcelona-based architecture firm Mesura will have you breaking new ground.
