The apartment block of Mandra Living is located in the prestigious neighborhood of Kolonaki, created to discover Athens while living in comfort. It is a residential concept of short-term living, but the spaces are designed to fit long-term stays as well in a prime location. Situated in the heart of Athens, these eight apartments allow guests to enjoy easy access to upscale boutiques, vibrant cafes, cultural landmarks, and returning to spacious living areas to recoup. Vangelis Paterakis HYLE was commissioned to curate and produce the FF&E procurement of the Mandra Living spaces. It was a process of carefully selecting items that are both functional and aesthetically matching the size of each apartment - which vary in size from 1 to... More

A strikingly minimal gallery-like space, in a listed building, referencing the tanneries of Dickensian London. Dan Hazeldean Once surrounded by the leather tanneries of Dickensian Whitechapel, this artisan dwelling was originally built as a lodge for a tanner and his family. Designed in 1864 by pioneering architect Henry Roberts and now Grade 2 listed, the lodge gives a rare insight into architecture now scarce in east London. Part derelict by the 1970’s and threatened with demolition, the building was saved, but most original features were removed and modernised. This gave us the freedom during our redesign, to strip out these additions, and reveal the underlying listed structure. Dan Hazeldean We challenged ourselves t... More

A city retreat inspired by Japanese simplicity and minimalism. Old oak doors on a cobbled back street in Paris, lead up a winding wooden staircase to a dark dusty apartment, uninhabited for nine years.Studio Hazeldean transformed this into a calm oasis in the heart of the bustling city. Dan Hazeldean The design was based on Shibui - subtle understated beauty, and Kanso - simplicity. We used a restrained palette of materials to unify the space and create flow through the apartment. Dan Hazeldean In the bedroom a partition creates a concealed walk-in wardrobe. The simple plywood bed plinth with integral side tables was custom made for the space.Blown glass pendants hover beside the bed for delicate contrast. Dan Hazeldean... More

The covid 19 Pandemic transformed the interior spaces for many Bay Area homes. Los Altos homes are mainly built in the 1950s with typical post-world war features and various renovations, standard to an American home with a family room, dining room, office, TV room, and bedrooms.These multimillion-dollar properties are typically traditional in layout, with offices designed for occasional use, kids bedrooms with smaller multi-pane, double-hung wood sash windows, which were often replaced by sliding windows, only allowing for a limited amount of natural light.With the rise of covid cases and the lockdowns that followed in 2020, families were trapped in their homes month after month with offices that were not designed to host a full day of work...

MI1 is the first part of a triptych of three family homes along the Mille-Îles River in Laval. This first house, the brightest of the three, is clad in white bricks on which the seasons are painted, giving it a unique character in the neighbourhood.  Inspired by the vernacular language of Laval architecture at a time when the island was a resort area, the residence offers a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional Canadian cottage with its gable roof.  Olivier Blouin The three volumes composing the house each contain a part of the program. The volume parallel to the street contains the garage, the entrance hall and the living spaces, while the other two, perpendicular to it, includes the rest areas. The Ma... More

The location and the resulting image of the project at the initial stage set the basis for the idea. All elements of the interior are brought into the exact balance of volumes and colors, textures and materials, as well as in the fullness of decor items. The house is surrounded by a pine forest, with a low floor the windows are at the level of the tree crowns. The surroundings bring natural colors and materials to the interior, while the interior is shaped by a structure that unites the living areas. Everything is as flexible as possible to erase the framing contour of the apartment. Technical issues are minimized or visually hidden to give the space as natural as possible. There is the required number of lamps, electricians, ventilation is... More

Back in 1905, the story begins with the creation of a landmark. To the north, the majestic Danube crosses and to the west, the tributary Sava, in one of the most beautiful and central spots of Belgrade. This building constitutes a classic hotel, a "jewel" for the city. On the vertical axis, sharp lines emphasize its strict character, while on the horizontal axis, the curvature tends to smooth out this notion. The unobstructed panoramic view concerned a focus point of the architectural approach and a vital component of the building. A minimal design approach which preserves the traditional style dominates the configuration of the windows and the bay-windows which surround the building. Earthy colors allow a smooth integration into the surrou... More
