Paris has always known how to domesticate ghosts. Lenny Kravitz’s residence in the 16th arrondissement, a grand 1920s hôtel particulier known as Villa Roxie, carries a name shaped by private history. It honors Roxie Roker, his mother, and the Paris she once imagined for herself. The tribute is embedded into […]
Margaux Lange works with Barbie the way an archivist works with evidence. Carefully, deliberately, without nostalgia softening the edges.

In a city once shaped by speed and efficiency, where concrete cut through nature like a knife, Shenzhen’s Luohu district is witnessing a quiet, radical transformation. At the heart of this shift stands the newly completed Shenzhen Art High School, a structure not just of steel and stone, but of […]
In the quiet municipality of Nicolás Bravo, Aidia Studio has turned 7,700 m² of underused land into MERCADO, a vibrant crafts market and cultural hub shaped by biophilic design and local resilience.

Trojena, part of NEOM’s $500 billion utopian megacity, is currently rising in the Sarawat Mountains, promising 30 km of ski slopes, a man-made lake, a vertical village, and enough luxury branding to make Davos look like a camping trip.
