For the past 20 years, we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming all sorts of people through the doors of Modus Vivendi. Couples, families, solo travellers, old friends and new ones.
And after all these years, we’ve started wondering: who else would we love to see here?
So we put together our dream guest list. Six houses, eight very different personalities, and a little bit of imagination.
Here’s who we think would feel at home at Modus Vivendi.
For Dua Lipa, we chose Terra Verde Studio 💚
Small, quiet and surrounded by earthy greens, it feels like the kind of place where you could disappear for a few days with a stack of books and a notebook.
We know Dua is a keen reader and writer, with a well-known love of books that she shares through her book club and SERVICE95 . So we imagine her settling into the old desk by the window, overlooking the pool, with a book in one hand and a notebook in the other.
There’s also a little balcony, perfect for a slow breakfast in private before retreating by the pool.
Terra Verde isn’t the biggest of our houses. But perhaps that’s exactly the point. A little space to switch off, read, write and do very little at all.
The Ochre House felt made for Rama Duwaji and Zohran Mamdani.
With its earthy yellows and browns, hand-painted kitchen k***s, iron bed and that rather spectacular marble sink, it has a character all of its own — eclectic, warm and a little unexpected.
Rama, as an artist and illustrator with a wonderfully eclectic eye, would fit right in. We can imagine her noticing all the little details, sketchbook in hand, before heading out to the garden to sit next to the sunflowers and draw.
And then there’s Zohran. We imagine he’d appreciate a restful week at the Ochre House, considering how hard he works for the people he represents. A little time by the pool, surrounded by the quiet of Psematismenos, seems like a well-deserved break.
So we like to picture Rama finding inspiration in the house’s eclectic details, while Zohran enjoys a little time to slow down, recharge and take in the quiet surroundings.
Lefko means white in Greek. So naturally, we thought of Simon Porte Jacquemus.
White and blue are famously among his
