Do not grieve now that summer is over, because there are still wonderful months ahead. This autumn edition is overflowing with projects that solve longing for warm days. Believe us when we say that we are more than ready to make it cosy inside. Returning readers know to expect a diverse mix of national and international toppers. Those who are new, we hope to keep close by with this memorable selection of architecture, interiors and design that honours the best of the season.
We believe in the importance of patience. More than half of the year is gone, but in these pages you pause for a moment. Talent does not rush but unfolds in peace. Designs in which every detail is right, and which reflect a grand vision, you need to take your time for. For instance, we wrote about homes with real architectural allure. Proportions were refined, dimensions took on a life of their own, and sightlines emerged as a profession in their own right. 
We also bring you projects that prove how a successful floor plan can create much more living space. With the right people, you really can achieve the result of your dreams. Because every residence here is bathed in an atmosphere that makes you want to curl up and nestle in, the lure of the interior space is unmatched. Shared happiness is twice as great, so we hope you will become as happy as we are at the sight of our hoarded treasures. While the trees outside steadily shed their leaves, inspiration awaits you welcomingly here. Every project we present to you speaks volumes. 
For us, genius has no expiry date. Therefore, alongside some of the most in-demand designers of the moment, we discuss a few iconic names whose legacy lives on. Think, for instance, of Pierre Chapo and what he has meant for design in wood. We also collected some very exceptional homes with a conceptual approach and a special location in nature. How about a postmodern musician's house in a Polish forest? 
At the same time, we continue to see touches of the 1970s creeping into new projects and that work out a successful balance between a contemporary and retro feel. To still make you dream of a holiday destination, we picked a hotel that presents a lifestyle focused on slow living in a context of vintage glamour. Of course, we do not always stray that far from home, as we also involved quite a few Belgian elements in this edition. In other words, this autumn we looked for diverse projects, each in its own way part of yet another season full of interior and design goodness. 
Imagicasa is excited to step into the darker months with you. As always, this edition would not be the same without our new and continuing partners, committed readers, and loyal supporters. Thanks to them, our magazine and platform continue to grow and reach new heights. It is therefore with full conviction that we are already declaring this season a great one. To conclude, I sincerely wish you much reading pleasure with this issue, and may you enjoy every day. Autumn is calling, so follow us!
