A decade ago Vogue gathered many of the lavish houses and gardens it routinely features and put them all into one huge hardcover book called Vogue Living: Houses, Gardens, People.
Chloe Malle, a contributing editor at Vogue and Hamish Bowles, the magazine’s international editor at large, have gathered 36 beautifully shot homes, from beachside retreats to rural idylls.
When landscaper Miranda Brooks and her architect husband Bastien Hallard moved to a Boerum Hill brownstone, they decided to make it feel like they were moving to the country—even if it was Brooklyn.
A small dining nook with vintage metal chairs is fenced off with woven hazel hurdles and lit with simple lanterns.
Architect Luis Laplace and his partner Christophe Comoy’s dreamy house in Occitanie, in the French midi-Pyrenees, was once part of a 17th-century vineyard.
After buying the property from Comoy’s family (the house formerly belonged to his grandmother), the couple set about taming the wilderness outside.
When a two-story apartment became available in an 18th-century hotel particuleur in Saint-Germain, Lauren Santo Domingo jumped at the opportunity to acquire it—not least because her husband Andre’s parents also had a home there.
Here, the Madison Cox designed terrace with roses and lavender creates a beautiful escape from the city.
More is more seems to be the mantra for designer Tory Burch, at home on Long Island. Landscape architect Perry Guillot chose to retain much of that original plant palette and largely followed what was already a successful structure.
The Amagansett, New York garden of Jacqueline and Mortimer Sackler, “scion of the famously eleemosynary Purdue Pharma dynasty.” (They married in 2002, the book notes.).
When Jacqueline and Mortimer Sackler rented a romantic Amagansett property that had once served as the village’s lawn tennis club, they quickly decided that they wanted to make it their permanent holiday home.
Architect Daniel Romualdez’s 18th-century stone house in Connecticut had a former life as a tavern before it became the country retreat for designer Bill Blass.
Romualdez has retained much of the charm of Blass’s interiors but brought it up to date with a whimsical mix of old and new; in the hallway he blends antique pieces including a Swedish console and a 19th-century German Klismos chair with quirky warthog taxidermies.
