"I was part of Fleur's British Interior Design Exhibition in London in the 1980s. The strength of Fleur's vision defined the event and made participation a real pleasure for me." - John Pawson, Renowned International Minimalist Architect, LondonTheInternational Interior Design Exhibition (IIDE) came to Brussels in 2019 with heritage. First launched in London by Fleur Rossdale as The British Interior Design Exhibition (BIDE) during the 1980s and '90s, theevent was highly acclaimed as a ground-breaking showcase for the designindustry. With 30,000 international visitors to each, the exhibition helped propel interior design into the limelight, receiving worldwide press coverage and an insatiable demographic of private clients, hoteliers, designers and developers. Organiser Fleur commented, "Good design has a vital role to play in our everyday lives. It can improve how we live and function, be it at home, in the workplace, in education or on holiday. Interiors set a mood, portraying an identity that should feel enhancing and harmonious". Fleur, an active interior designer herself, chose Brussels for the re-launch due to the cultural heritage, not least as founders of the Art Nouveau movement. Fleur continues, "Decoration is all about bringing together skilled workmanship, colour, texture and fine art to create a melodious interior to enhance our everyday lives".The IIDE followed the ethos of past experience and showcased ten international designers, presenting their interior design vision to inspire private and trade visitors.This luxury coffee table book is a tribute to these new exhibitions, which is complemented by a short history of all previous exhibitions in London.

For generations, luxury was often associated with abundance; larger homes, rarer materials, and increasingly sophisticated technology. While those elements can still play a role, they no longer define what makes a home truly valuable. Today, luxury is increasingly found in things that cannot always be seen. In the quality of the air we breathe. The water we drink. The acoustics of a room. The feeling of calm when we arrive home after a busy day. The ability of a space to support wellbeing, connection, and everyday life.Over the past two decades, Kolenik has explored how design can contribute to that experience. Not through excess, but through balance. Not through trends, but through thoughtful solutions that stand the test of time. Throughout their work, architecture, craftsmanship, technology, and nature are brought together with a shared purpose: to create environments that feel intuitive, comfortable, and deeply personal. The projects featured in this book reflect that ongoing exploration. They vary in scale, location, and character, from waterfront residences and urban penthouses to private wellness retreats and family homes. Yet despite their differences, they share a common ambition: to create spaces that enhance the quality of everyday life. Many of these projects were developed in close collaboration with clients who challenged us to think beyond conventional definitions of luxury. Their homes became opportunities to explore new ways of integrating sustainability, wellbeing, craftsmanship, and innovation into contemporary living. Not as separate features, but as natural parts of a cohesive whole. Elevated Luxury – Interiors for Conscious Living documents this evolution. Through photography, personal stories, and detailed project narratives, it offers a glimpse into the ideas that continue to shape our work and the people who inspire it.

Traces of Time – Crafting the Authentic Home continues the spirit of The Authentic Home (2021). This new volume reveals thirty remarkable private residences from across the globe, each shaped by a profound respect for traditional craftsmanship and the quiet poetry of natural materials.Within these pages, stone worn by generations, timber mellowed by light, and objects carrying the patina of life come together to form interiors with genuine presence. Every home reflects an intimate dialogue between past and present, where ancestral techniques are not revived as nostalgia, but embraced as living, enduring values. The architects and designers featured here share a devotion to creating spaces with true soul—homes that move beyond fashion, resist the fleeting, and honour the beauty of what is real. Their work celebrates imperfection, authenticity, and the subtle traces left by time itself. Traces of Time invites readers into environments that feel grounded, warm, and deeply human—timeless refuges crafted with care, memory, and meaning.

Founded by Leigh and Kevin Misso, the firm has redefined the traditional design-build model into a far more ambitious and holistic philosophy of integration. Every project begins with a singular vision in which structure, interiors and everyday living are thoughtfully interwoven from the earliest sketch. This book welcomes readers into the intersection of craftsmanship and story. Each home is shaped as both a sanctuary and a narrative, a composition of beauty, balance, and belonging. River Brook's work lives in the delicate space where history and modernity meet, honouring the soul of the past through the artistry of the present. Above all the firm's vision is simple: to transform houses into homes where life unfolds with warmth, grace and purpose. The firm’s philosophy, “Living with Legacy," reflects its commitment to creating homes that honour the past while shaping the present. Homes composed with enduring craftsmanship. Effortless proportion and beauty that feels both timeless and liveable. At the heart of Living with Legacy is the overarching theme: “Designing What Endures."

Architecture carries memory. It preserves the character of a place while allowing it to evolve for contemporary life. Modern Heritage Homes explores this relationship through a collection of residences that balance history, craftsmanship, and modern living with remarkable sensitivity.Across these pages, twenty-three homes reveal how designers and architects around the world reinterpret heritage in ways that feel both grounded and current. Some projects draw directly from traditional vernacular forms, while others reinterpret the spirit of modernism through proportion, material, and atmosphere. Together they show that timeless design is shaped by continuity, not imitation. From the quiet elegance of South Dublin Residence to the sculptural clarity of Melody House in the Southern Highlands of Australia, each project demonstrates a strong connection between architecture and landscape. In South Dublin, lime plaster walls, timber beams, and stone floors create a home rooted in tradition, softened for contemporary family life. In Melody House, inspired by Richard Neutra’s modernism, clean horizontal lines and expansive glazing create a dialogue between architecture, music, and nature.In South Africa, An Arts and Crafts Home celebrates craftsmanship and vernacular character through textured materials, layered interiors, and a close relationship with its setting. In Texas, Arrowhead rises above Lake Travis as a retreat inspired by Mediterranean light and romantic spatial sequences, combining openness with intimacy. The California projects bring another dimension to the collection. Brentwood Park Residence and Cole Valley Classic reflect a refined West Coast sensibility where warmth, restraint, and natural textures create deeply personal spaces. In Nantucket, a coastal residence is reimagined with softened palettes and a renewed connection to the Atlantic horizon, proving how even familiar typologies can feel entirely new.Further into the book, homes such as A Thatched-Roof Villa in the Netherlands and Four Seasons R01 in Istanbul reveal how regional traditions can be translated through a modern lens. Whether through the enduring silhouette of a thatched roof or the quiet precision of contemporary detailing, these homes demonstrate the richness of local identity. What connects all of these projects is a shared respect for permanence, craftsmanship, and emotional resonance. These are homes designed not only to be seen, but to be lived in, adapted, and passed on. They remind us that heritage is not fixed. It is continually shaped by the people who inhabit it. Modern Heritage Homes is an invitation to explore that ongoing dialogue between past and present, and to discover how thoughtful design can create homes of lasting beauty.

There is a certain kind of home that does not seek attention. It does not rely on spectacle or excess to announce its presence. Instead, it reveals itself gradually—through proportion, light, material, craftsmanship, and an atmosphere that can only be described as deeply human. It is a home that invites you to slow down, to notice, and to stay.In an age of constant stimulation, quiet has become one of the greatest luxuries. Not silence alone, but the quiet confidence of spaces that are thoughtfully conceived, beautifully executed, and destined to endure. It is a quality that transcends trends and fashions, reminding us that true elegance is rarely loud.The remarkable success of our book Quiet Luxury, embraced by readers around the world and reprinted twice, affirmed that this philosophy resonates far beyond the world of architecture and interior design. It reflected a growing appreciation for homes that celebrate restraint over extravagance, authenticity over ornament, and permanence over novelty.The Quiet Home continues that journey. Across thirty-six exceptional private residences from around the globe, this volume presents an inspiring collection of contemporary homes created by some of today's most accomplished architects and interior designers. While each project speaks with its own distinct voice—shaped by culture, landscape, and the personalities of its inhabitants—they are united by a shared sensibility: an unwavering commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design.These are homes where every material has been carefully considered, where natural light becomes an architectural element, and where the dialogue between inside and outside enriches daily life. They remind us that luxury is not measured by abundance, but by intention. The finest interiors are those that feel inevitable rather than imposed, composed with patience, precision, and respect for both place and people.The pages that follow are more than a celebration of beautiful houses. They offer a meditation on the evolving meaning of home itself. Increasingly, our homes have become places not only to live, but to restore, create, gather, and reflect. They are our sanctuaries from an increasingly accelerated world. The projects featured here demonstrate how exceptional design can shape not only spaces, but also the quality of everyday living.Beautifully photographed and richly detailed, each residence offers an invitation to observe the subtle decisions that transform architecture into experience: the warmth of timber meeting stone, the play of shadow across textured surfaces, the quiet confidence of handcrafted details, and the effortless balance between comfort and sophistication.Whether you are an architect, designer, collector, or simply someone who appreciates enduring beauty, this book offers both inspiration and reassurance. It reminds us that the most memorable homes are not necessarily the most elaborate, but those that possess a sense of calm, integrity, and soul.
