In the off-the-grid cabin retreat of director Anthony Russo in the Angeles National Forest, architectural hardware by Peter van Cronenburg plays a pivotal role in blending rustic charm with modern sophistication. Van Cronenburg’s custom bronze doorknobs, cast from local river rocks, and his expertly crafted hardware details enhance the cabin's earthy, elegant feel. These bespoke pieces, along with Commune Design’s thoughtful renovations, complement the cabin’s blend of Shaker and Japanese influences, and transform the historically significant structure into a contemporary escape while honoring its rugged, remote setting.

The facade restoration of the historic cast-iron building at Bond Street and the Bowery has won the National Award of Excellence from the Society of American Registered Architects. This prestigious honor follows the building's previous receipt of the Lucy G. Moses Award for preservation excellence. The $4.5 million restoration, led by CTA Architects with Christa Waring at the forefront, involved the meticulous replication of over 1,000 intricate cast-iron units. Originally designed by Henry Engelbert in the 1870s and formerly used as a bank and theatre, the building is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Despite challenges, including a failed attempt to plant a tree on the sidewalk due to complex permitting and utility issues, the project's successful completion highlights the collaborative efforts of CTA Architects, D+DS Architecture Office, Traditional Waterproofing and Restoration, Van Cronenburg Architectural Hardware, and GACE Consulting Engineers.

Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent have transitioned from their spacious Spanish colonial in Los Angeles back to a more intimate 3,400-square-foot 1899 town house in Manhattan's West Village.

In their new abode, recently renovated to perfection, Berkus and Brent have infused warmth and personality through design elements such as a custom white oak bookcase, rich textures, and vintage touches. They meticulously curated their belongings to fit the smaller space, creating a cozy yet functional home that reflects their style and accommodates their family life with children Poppy and Oskar. Their redesigned space not only showcases their design expertise but also emphasizes their commitment to making a house feel like home amid the dynamic cityscape.
