Palacio Episcopal (Episcopal Palace)
Plaza dei Obispo
Málaga, September 2023

“The Bishop's Palace is a series of buildings that were joined while being built until the large block was completed in the 18th century that took up the whole of the block. It features the impressive Baroque façade facing the Plaza del Obispo. This beautiful portal was designed in the 18 th century by architect Antonio Ramos, master builder of the cathedral. It is in the late Baroque style with a central recess divided into three overlapping spans: the entrance, the balcony and the Virgen de las Angustias (Virgin of Sorrows) in stone. It combines a grey marble background with pink marble for the beautifully finished columns. Inside there are Mannerist and Baroque courtyards such as the Throne Room, which was used in the past for the Bishop's receptions. The impressive imperial staircase is covered by an elliptical dome in which you can admire the Triumph of the Eucharist, an anonymous 18th century work.” (Palacio Episcopal, Visita Málaga)

Leicester Place
London, May 2023

“Overlooking the iconic Leicester Square, Victory House is an authentic and elegant boutique bolthole in the heart of the West End. Designed as an escape from the busy city streets below – yet offering an ideal location from which to explore all that London has to offer. Covent Garden’s shopping and dining district is mere moments’ walk away. The hotel features unique art deco design and cinematic style, a subtle nod to its theatrical location and an ode to both the screen and stage. 86 rooms and suites are all designed with soft teal, grey and beige furnishings and a splash of 1950’s vintage glamour where you’ll find dial phones and bellman cart dressings. Built in 1898, the hotel retains the original front designed by Walter Enden. It became a popular dining spot with its proximity to the theatres of the area.” (Victory House, Covent Garden)

Palazzo dello Strozzino
Via degli Anselmi
Florence, January 2023

“Palazzo dello Strozzino is a Renaissance palace in Florence, Italy. The stone Renaissance facade is located on Piazza degli Strozzi, diagonal to the Southeast corner of the imposing Palazzo Strozzi. The Northern façade on Via dei Anselmi houses the entrance to the Cinema Odeon. The palace, once known as the Palazzo delle Tre Porte for its three ground doorways, was a residence of the cadet branch of the Strozzi family; it was older and smaller than the grandiose Palazzo Strozzi. The palace houses the Cinema Odeon, designed (1920) by Marcello Piacentini, as well as the language school of the British Institute of Florence.” (Palazzo dello Strozzino, Wikipedia)
