City Cottage / Sans-Arc Studio

Miwa Negoro — Wed, 13 May 2026 02:00:00 +0000

City Cottage is a home shaped by a deep affection for inner-city life - by people who know their neighbours, invest in their local fabric, and believe that cities are built as much through shared meals and conversation as they are through buildings. For its owners, long embedded in hospitality and creative start-up culture, the cottage operates as a deliberate counterpoint: a place of pause and clarity within the hum of commerce and constant making. Calm replaces chaos, order replaces excess, and everything has its place.

World’s Most Liveable Cities in 2025: Discover the Cities With the Top Quality of Life

Reyyan Dogan — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 06:30:00 +0000

The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has released its Global Liveability Index for 2025, assessing 173 cities worldwide across five categories: stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure. This year, Copenhagen has taken the top position, ending Vienna's three-year run as the world's most liveable city. The Danish capital earned high scores in stability, education, and infrastructure, narrowly surpassing Vienna, which saw a decline in its stability rating following recent security incidents. The average global liveability score for 2025 remains steady at 76.1 out of 100, unchanged from 2024. While year-on-year improvements were recorded in healthcare, education, and infrastructure, these were offset by a continued decline in stability, driven by rising geopolitical tensions, civil unrest, and increased security threats in several regions.
