An Architect's Penthouse is TERON Studio's 2026 renovation of a 77 m² apartment atop a 1975 building in Athens, Greece. Facing Pedion tou Areos, the dual-aspect home uses new openings, continuous flooring, and integrated joinery to pull daylight across a composed interior. Deep green cabinetry connects the restrained palette to the park, while a broad terrace extends the apartment toward open city views.

The design brief for a primary suite or a dedicated dressing room rarely arrives with dimensions that align with standard furniture catalogs. Precise floor plans, asymmetric layouts, and spatially specific alcoves demand something that a catalog piece cannot reliably provide.

Staroměstská Apartment in Prague, Czech Rep., is a total renovation by Facha Architekti that divides a complex interior into a generous apartment and a self-contained studio. Restored coffered doors, profiled frames, and window linings retain the interior’s older character, while bold freestanding furnishings establish new centers within the principal rooms. Across both units, color and material contrast keep the meeting of old and new direct, practical, and deliberately lively.

Stockholm Bluff gives Strand Design’s house in Stockholm, United States, a measured presence on a wooded ridge above the Mississippi River. Dark cladding recedes among the trees, while wood-lined openings, tall corner glazing, and sheltered porches gather evening light. Inside, warm cabinetry, pale surfaces, and a slim black fireplace extend the exterior’s controlled contrast without distracting from the setting.
