This issue enters the spaces where creatives live to see how they’ve moulded them into their own. Starting with our cover story, we explore the idiosyncrasies of architect Luis Laplace and Christophe Comoy's 19th-century Paris apartment, and architect Bilbo Garcia-Conde’s sheet metal-clad addition in Madrid.
Editor Sophie Lewis speaks with fashion designer Shona Thatcher on how her Bondi home expresses her love for the Mediterranean, and nearby, we visit designer Nick Kent’s home and studio to understand how it adapts to work and family life. In Warsaw, Poland, a culinary blogger and author’s apartment incarnates his light-hearted persona. An excerpt from garden editor Will Dangar’s new book, Natural Order, takes us to SJB architect Adam Haddow’s inner-city home to learn more about its integrated urban gardens. Wherever you turn in this issue, there are personalised lessons on reinventing a place to call home, straight from the curious minds that inhabit them.
