A MORE SUSTAINABLE INTERIOR DESIGN As part of the SANDOW DESIGN GROUP (SDG) carbon impact initiative, all publications, including LUXE INTERIORS + DESIGN, INTERIOR DESIGN, and METROPOLIS, are now printed using soy-based inks, which are biobased and derived from renewable sources. This continues SDG’s ongoing efforts to address the environmental impact of its operations and media platforms. Earlier this year, we announced a yearlong partnership with Keilhauer to offset all estimated carbon emissions for the printing and distribution of every print copy of INTERIOR DESIGN in 2023 with verified carbon credits, including the one you hold in your hands.

e d i t o r ’s welcome

feasting on residential! To our consummate readers savoring these pages, it may seem like this month’s blood, sweat, and tears (aka the superhard work of our writers, editors, graphics designers, and myself) could be distilled into an otherwise improbable “cheers to good times!” I mean, it’s all so abundant, those folks should be instantly forgiven for having such a thought; plus, I could shout that, too, adding a helping of decorum by describing our fall presentation as “a testimonial to the incredible challenges that designers and architects intrepidly confront trying to solve agonizing problems of today’s living”… blah, blah, blah and all that serious stuff. But nah, I’ll stick to the thing we know is true: Everyone just craves residential. So, this is an especially special treat dedicated to design’s irresistible playpen, our homes. And just to keep those good ol’ times rolling through and through—a perfect antidote to autumn’s gray days—we decided to take a breather from most concerns and obligations. Forgetting remote work and carbon footprints for a minute, we chose to assemble an unfettered global feast of all resi design, here and now. Near São Paolo, Studio Arthur Casas hits a hole in one with a sprawling 14,000-square-foot house literally on a golf course! Very-old-meets-very-new at a glorious three-story modern addition to a quaint vintage cottage by Carter Williamson Architects in Sydney. And commercial and residential cohabitate at a domestic roundup of apartment buildings—from affordable to luxury—chockablock with yummy amenities like indoor-outdoor living (love the botanical mural) and wellness (I’ll take a pool any day!). And don’t miss our sumptuous front-of-book section dedicated to Interior Design Homes, a twice-yearly favorite! Yep. This is the all-you-can-eat, multicourse November residential meal. So, my hungry friends, dig in! xoxo
