The green Odile lamp is by Lumen Center Italia which pays tribute to the Italian design master who founded the Memphis Group in Milan in 1980 “The most important tone is the red veneer of Ettore Sottsass,” Eirini says and in this project we introduced a rich palette.” One of the surprising decorative elements in this tiny apartment is the Kartell Gnome by Philippe Starck—this particular model is called Napoleon Inspired by fairy tales and the surrounding alpine scenery the architect couple fully leaned into designing this space for themselves Eirini loves the local picture of the two children in the woods that sits next to the bench in the dining area “It could be the ‘cover’ of this visual story,” she says In this welcoming apartment where every inch is maximized blue and green hues—as an ode to the landscape—contrast with the red throughout Some decorative elements such as the Frog poster by Enzo Mari on the wall and the Kartell Gnome by Philippe Starck create a surprising and joyful atmosphere filled with fantasy Eirini and Stefano worked on giving a sense of flow and feeling of depth through the materials and motifs “We used to go almost every weekend,” Eirini and Stefano say Use multifunctional pieces of furniture to optimize a small space. Eirini and Stefano opted for a sofa bed in the tiny living area to make sure they can invite friends and family to stay with them for a weekend Play with different motifs and strong hues to create some depth and tiles combined with bright colors on the walls and on some furnishings help to add a sense of movement and visual dynamism to a space Eirini and Stefano picked red as the main theme They used it in several ways in the different spaces to make the apartment feel cohesive All products featured on Architectural Digest are independently selected by our editors when you buy something through our retail links The use of red veneer is an homage to Italian designer and architect Ettore Sottsass Greg Corsico put on some Harry Potter-style specs and helped his young son get into a white tattered mummy outfit Then they set out for a night of trick-or-treating in a 17-story building in the Upper West Side of Manhattan "Time to balance out Sandy's tricks," a sign posted in the building's elevator read It had barely been two days since the 13-foot storm surges and 80 mph winds of Hurricane Sandy rocked New York home and businesses and racking up billions of dollars in damage But a large swath of residents in New York City has already begun to get back into their regular routines "New Yorkers really do have to push forward in spite of everything going on," Corsico You don't want to minimize what's taking place but you also try to maintain some type of stability."

project early enough to collaborate with Ferreira Architects on fundamental decisions of layout Among the signature gestures she brought to the four-bedroom house were her frisky sense of color and irreverent brand of modernism “the layout of the project was very much about creating an exciting and unexpected journey that gives people options for how they circulate through it.” The decorator’s enthusiastic use of color also governs how the house is experienced there are two main common spaces in the residence: One is the formal living room in the old section the other a brighter lounge in the new part The former’s walls are painted a dark “dirty teal,” applied over rough sand and cement render which can be closed off from the kitchen with a large oak barn door Lafferty designed a lime-green velvet sofa to fit the room’s ample dimensions “We wanted it to be strong yet whimsical,” she says “Some people were skeptical about a big piece in such an assertive color Lafferty also brought her love of tile to the project for bathrooms and kitchens only,” she says “But I like it in living and dining spaces and even in bedrooms.” In fact she’s used it in various forms all over the house from solid and decorative Moroccan tiles made in the traditional way to contemporary geometrics that recall the groundbreaking ceramics of Italian architect and designer Gio Ponti She covered an entire corner of the kitchen in dark blue zellige tiles which she also used on a cantilevered bench and moisture-resistant timber table that extends through accordion windows onto a patio maximizing the relationship between indoors and out Another of Lafferty’s personal obsessions is lighting “The scale of most of the light fittings is bold and playful,” she reports “but they’re quite refined in themselves.” A case in point: the Edizioni Design fixtures hanging like giant hoop earrings over the dining table are both enormous—3 feet in diameter—and delicate The ultimate shock-star in this light galaxy is a fantastical Maison Dada pendant—a 5 ½-foot-tall bright-scarlet gobsmacker—suspended above a rosy-pink custom banquette in the barrel-vault reading nook The nook itself summarizes a lot of the project’s design strategies and modernizes the space: the solid color not only contrasts with the complex tonality of the surrounding walls but—thanks to the  hue’s distinctly 1970s vibe—also fast-forwards the antique brick- and stonework into the new millennium Lafferty covered the entire arched end-wall of the barrel-vault space with mirror creating an infinity effect that makes the nook seem endless “We wanted to showcase the arches as much as possible,” she says As thoroughly appealing as the Coach House looks Lafferty is most gratified by the way it feels “It’s the nicest space I’ve ever done,” she says “I think I probably put a bit of my heart into it Keep scrolling to view more images of the project > > See more from the Interior Design Summer Homes 2019 issue is now supplying sustainable heat energy to meet the needs of the district heating network around its facility in Corsico created in partnership with power company Atecc is reducing the amount of CO2 being released into the atmosphere by more than 3,000 tonnes a year within the region and providing a sustainable supply of energy for the local populace previously known in the region as Vidrala Italia to allow the residual heat from Encirc Italy’s operations to be used to power the local energy grid instead of fossil fuels.The Encirc Italy-led project was supported by technology partner Renovis Energy supplying the equipment needed while providing ongoing engineering and installation support The scheme is the first energy supply agreement in the Vidrala group’s history with the district heating network now able to use 100% of the heat energy created by Encirc Italy throughout winter and 30% of it in the summer.To enable the project invested in building a new electrostatic precipitator (ESP) and a heat recovery system at the glass plant as well as a continuous mode monitoring system This ensured the optimum level of energy can be shared with the network throughout the year said: “It’s vital that industrial organisations take note and ensure there are no missed opportunities when it comes to their own operations’ carbon footprints made possible through our partnership with Atecc and Renovis shows how local manufacturers can have a positive and long-lasting impact on the communities they serve “We believe this will be the first of several energy supply agreements for the Vidrala Group as we continue on our decarbonisation journey forward-thinking projects like this one are key to creating a sustainable future.” We use our own session and third party

space despite our willingness to embrace colour in our wardrobes many of us hesitate when it comes to our homes So how should someone afraid of using colour in their home approach it Introducing colour doesn’t have to be daunting says interior designer Róisín Lafferty — it’s all about knowing where to start “The main thing to remember when venturing into colour is to focus on the atmosphere and mood you want to create,” says Lafferty take a moment to consider how you’ll use the space and it’s much easier to narrow down the right colour choices.” She makes an interesting point — colour is deeply personal yet people often second-guess their instincts when decorating “I see people being expressive and playful in how they dress But the two are closely linked,” she notes once you’ve identified a colour you’re drawn to Lafferty stresses the importance of sampling — and not just with tiny paint swatches “The single most important thing is to get big samples — think 60cm x 60cm — on loose boards Move them around the space throughout the day to see how the colour reacts to natural and artificial light.” This If you’re worried about a bold colour feeling overwhelming Lafferty’s advice is surprisingly counterintuitive: wrap the colour across all surfaces enveloping shade.” As for finding the perfect hue “Avoid sugary brights and instead look for colours with a rich These create a sense of balance and ensure longevity in your palette.” There’s no such thing as too much colour — only colour that hasn’t been applied thoughtfully With a little confidence and the right approach anyone can transform their home into a space that feels vibrant Róisín Lafferty will be at the Fleetwood Interior Design Hub at the PTSB Ideal Home Show on April 11 The Ideal Home Show runs

getting it wrong many a time before. Not so the case with this heritage gem in Dublin, recently transformed by Irish interior design practice Kingston Lafferty Design (KLD) into a rather spectacular modern residence. KLD were engaged early on in the project, working alongside Ferreira Architects on fundamental decisions from the materials to the layout. Their involvement extended beyond the interior architecture of the existing building, incorporating a new contemporary extension, exterior terraces and the garden. “The new design needed to combine and juxtapose the old and new buildings as one interesting and exciting multi-level, unique space,” explains KLD founder Roisin Lafferty. The existing coach house was brimming with character, charm and original detail, and KLD were keen for the new extension to complement, and contrast the older structure all at once. “We set about deliberately creating interesting spaces, nooks and crannies with the minimal and streamlined extension design,” Lafferty says. The four-bedroom house focuses on the layout first and foremost, achieving a sense of seamlessness that maximises the flow between spaces, providing an engaging visual conversation between light, colour and materials throughout the house. Former Fitzroy brothel turned into an extraordinary home Huh? Why this house has two unusual 'rooms' made out of nets The overall aesthetic is difficult to pinpoint – there is a certain irreverence evident in every room, from the 1980s-inspired built-in pink banquette seating to the formal living room exuding a very Milanese kind of rock-n-roll attitude, while the indoor/outdoor cantilevered bar, wrapped in navy zellige tiles, feels like a nod to contemporary Moroccan style. Lafferty’s playful approach to colour and material choices paint the interior with a distinct and irreverent sense of elegance. One that feels serious yet doesn’t take itself too seriously. KLD lined the stone archways and portals between the different spaces in polished plaster, framing views and elevating the simple ritual of passing from one room to another into an event. The material palette fuses the original industrial and raw features with highly sophisticated polished marble, walnut and brass. In the kitchen, the old mill’s preserved stone barrel vaults meet the impressive three-metre-high ceilings. Instead of walls, KLD employed elements such as an island bench in Nero Marquina marble, and steel frame doors with custom ribbed glass – their shapes echoing the vaulted ceilings. These smart interventions help divide the large open area into specific zones, eliminating the need to separate them with partitions. Furniture and furnishing choices were carefully considered, too. “To soften the steel, marble and polished plaster elements, we opted for the sensual curves of classic mid-century furniture pieces such as Eero Saarinen’s tulip table as well as playful and sculptural lighting with the bright red Maison Dada ceiling lamps in the sitting nook. Also, there are the large scale of the Edizioni Design circular pendants hanging above the dining table,” says Lafferty. Overall, Bolton Coach House is a study in balance and contrast between the rustic and the refined, the old and the new, the masculine and the feminine. By putting the human element at the heart of their design peppered with unexpected touches, KLD created a home where everyday life feels like an experience.
