When Anna Haynes designed and built this historic house around the 1820s, she recognized that it had a history worth respecting. Filled with mid-century Brazilian furniture and maples, the home draws inspiration from a former artist’s studio, which now houses art in the owners’ bedroom, for color, texture and textiles with a balanced sense of history and freshness.

Rita König experimented with color and texture in this end-of-terrace, late-Victorian villa, with luxurious ancillary rooms including two study rooms (one for the kitchen, one for the garden), a wine room, a suitcase room and a plant room, all with the aim of making the house supremely livable.
