e d i t o r ’ s welcome
bursting for homes! Hello all, and welcome to the front lines! The belligerence is all COVID19-related of course, but nevertheless, in essence the battlefield metaphor is very true. Because the pandemic is keeping us quarantined at home, residential work is exploding, promising a rarely seen worldwide bounty of innovative projects for years to come, from a legion of established and emerging designers. And just as powerful, there will be red-hot coverage of everything home for years to come...yum! But I digress. We are already witnessing the first onslaught, comforting in its predictability. Renovations are multiplying as far as the eye can see (or Zoom can show)! This lucrative category of our biz will represent the lion’s share of projects in the near future, but there will also be new design solutions and new constructions dominating our reporting—and, frankly, I can’t wait! In fact, there’s no reason to hold your breath: Give yourself an early start by flipping through this issue. Outside Milan, a 1930s former managerial-housing building gets a makeover with attitude by designer Daniele Daminelli, who created a haven for his young family. An old indoor swimming pool makes a splash as a new conversation pit in a Stockholm house by Joanna Lavén Designs. And Francesc Rifé re-imagines a Spanish farm compound as a weekend retreat, this time for guests. Inside, it’s all brilliant stuff that will keep you effortlessly ahead of the curve, and maybe inspire a project or two in your own home! Stay safe, safe healthy; it’s only going to get better... at some point. xoxo,
