Whether in Tokyo, Madrid, or Paris, our latest crop of interiors defies the growing uniformity of urban landscapes by affirming their uniqueness. Indeed, a new kind of financialized architecture is “smoothing out” buildings to make them “exchangeable,” like assets in a portfolio. This sweeping trend further anonymizes territories by pushing out what is specific. It dilutes our points of reference—something that the sporadic creation of a few large-scale “landmark” projects cannot fully offset.
What if the antidote to our external disorientation lies in the creation of singular interior worlds? Like the bold combination of materials, colors, and patterns in designer Pia Chevallier’s apartment? Or the radical functionality of Eduardo Mediero’s flat in Madrid?
