    Audrey Hepburn by Philippe Halsman for LIFE Magazine, 1954   Say Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993) and the first thing most people think of is Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

  • Communities in the sky: Architects are embracing a very capitalist utopian dream

    June 25, 2015

    Architects are returning to the utopian idea of housing projects as selfcontained communities where residents are able to interact in social spaces.

  • Hartfield House: This architectural wonder is the ultimate blend of country bliss and avant-garde design

    June 25, 2015

    When a city-dweller dreams of leaving the rat race for the country, certain stock images appear.

  • Drinking at home: An in-house bar is the latest must-have for London’s super-rich

    June 25, 2015

    There are a few base-level requirements if you’re planning on a selling a London property for upwards of £10m.   Gyms are essential, as are home cinemas. If there’s a roof, it must be terraced.
