Domus Life

An evolution of what was once DN Magazine, Domus Life is a nod to our past but also a definitive sign of Domus Nova’s future, bringing you an unrivalled sense of creativity and style. It's an opportunity to celebrate the unique and dynamic spirit of West London. Inside, you’ll be inspired by even more of our exceptional properties we have for sale or for rent, in addition to features that reflect all that we love about Notting Hill and Bayswater.

DN A/W 12

Our sixth edition, but second to go local. The properties were better than ever, with unbeatable style and design. Editorial included the DN List - our pick of the best buys around Notting Hill and Bayswater; Design Now detailed happenings from Debut Contemporary, ApArt, Vessel & Tom Dixon. We interviewed Bill Granger (Granger&Co), Fabrice & Loic (77), Christina Russilo (Cowshed), Geza Toth-Feher (GGGallery) Kira Heuer (Bib&Sola). Enamoured by our surroundings, we looked at exotic places inspired by such including Portobelo Bay's El Otro Lado, Graham&Green's Goan villa, Daylesford's Chateau Leoube and Claridge's DVF suites. Style Stars profiled Sophie Merchant of Merchant Archive and Henry & George of Wolf&Badger. We popped to Lutyens&Rubinstein, indulged in 'me' time at Strip, BodyWorksWest and Cowshed, attended local events and chat to Samir & Zoe from Debut Contemporary.

PEOPLE

Notting Hill is one of London’s most diverse and vibrant areas, from the vast range of international cuisine to the annual carnival and the flocks of tourists who descend on Portobello Market every Saturday. But if you thought the local businesses were all created by born-and-bred West Londoners, think again – their roots are just as varied, whether they’re from across the Channel or the Atlantic. Domus Nova meets the faces that make the neighbourhood.

JETSETTER

This edition of DN magazine promises to keep it local, so we have a compromise for you. Here’s our pick of the travel destinations to head for, all of them inspired by the one and only Notting Hill whether it be Portobelo Bay's (see what we did there...) El Otro Lado in Panama, Casa Tota - Graham & Green's Goan villa, Jade Jagger's latest design venture at The Baglioni Marrakech, Daylesford Organic's French winery Chateau Leoube and Diane von Furstenberg's styled-suites at Claridges.

STYLE STARS

Domus Nova talks to two of Notting Hill’s leading fashion names, whose boutique spaces are inspiring the world - Sophie Merchant of Kensington Park Road's Merchant Archive and Henry & George Graham of Ledbury Road's Wolf&Badger.
