Uptown world

With a renovation that has taken 40 years, Peet and Ruud Schreuder have breathed new life into their fascinating rural home, all the while lovingly preserving the treasures of days gone by

Thanks to the narrowest of extensions, the owners of this welcoming home were able to create a stylish space that suits them perfectly

This unique Texan home connects its location, architecture and interior design in a way that’s refreshingly subtle

A 16th-century dwelling has been sensitively refreshed, resulting in a home brimming with original character, while boasting an easy-to-live-with, modern sensibility

Rejuvenating this substantial 19th-century property has been a labour of love for Nina and Sam Ward, but they maintain it’s been worth the setbacks and the expense to achieve their forever home

Originally designed in a butterfly shape, this unusual house is a harmonious blend of styles, with a contemporary extension bringing light and clean lines to its historic bones
