Kungsholmen
A small town within Stockholm, Kungsholmen was traditionally favoured by academics and families. Now, this charming neighbourhood is being discovered by a new generation of creatives and entrepreneurs finding its unique charms.
Bach life
Tucked inside woodland and backing onto a beach, this residence in New Zealand’s North Island is the most ambitious project to date from local practice Herbst Architects, using wood to blend into scenery.
Chairs and graces
Fascinated with furniture design, Noritsugu Oda bought his first chair in the 1970s and now has 1,200. But he isn’t precious about his priceless collection, as Monocle discovers.
Barranco
Once home to wealthy Limeños, this small Lima neighbourhood benefits from Pacific Ocean apartments, a community feel, restored villas and a thriving cultural scene.
Erskineville
Erskineville’s rise as an address for urban professionals hasn’t stripped its character. Old workers’ cottages provide creative living spaces, and Erskineville Road offers attractive shops, restaurants, bars and a prized bakery.
Oceania
Australia heads into a housing bubble, while in Christchurch the nightlife heads to the suburbs. Plus, we speak to the man in charge of rebuilding post-earthquake New Zealand.
Paradise in the city
You'll find 'almost perfect' places to live from Munich to Melbourne. At Monocle, we’ve created the ideal mansion block, with nothing omitted. Now, who’s going to build it?
Inside the box
Created for Montréal’s Expo 67, Habitat 67 is an iconic building that remains relevant today. We meet three residents and talk to architect Moshe Safdie about why the project has been so successful.
Breathing space
When Monocle and sister company Winkreative had to hunt for a bigger London base, they opted for greenery, mid-century architecture and a central location. Welcome to Midori House.
