This issue, we bring to you some of the most gorgeously designed spaces — homes, offices, studios, museums — spaces that shock you, intrigue you, make you swoon with their breathtaking beauty. Yet spaces that are thoughtfully designed to give you an experience that lasts with you forever. Noorein Kapoor’s artful exploration with materials and colours, Aamir and Hameeda’s dramatic and sculptural approach to design, and Sophie Dries’ subtle nuances, the issue is a celebration of spaces that are designed to welcome you.
