Clean-lined European upholstered pieces, a pair of Charles Eames–style plywood chairs, and an impressive collection of art make the Norwegian ambassador’s residence the most contemporary interior in Havana today.

Sleek lounge chairs, Neoclassical side tables, and inventive light fixtures surround the pool. In the rear is the recently completed guest bath wing that is used during outdoor entertainments.

The acrylic Philippe Starck Ghost chairs, a gauzy curtain, a 1950s wall of colored glass, and a vintage chandelier provide contemporary glamour at the waterfront Río Mar.

In the front hall, a bentwood rocking chair and console table bear witness to the many European imports that have been staples of Havana’s eclectic interiors.

In the light-filled spaces, assistants field phone calls while working on laptops at mid-century tables—an important part of Wilfred Prieto’s creative process is the planning and organization of his installations

The vintage desk in JEFF’s office displays a collection of toys and doll parts, antique radios, and typewriters as well as the once-ubiquitous Soviet-era Orbita table fan.

The living room’s stylish mix includes antique English furniture, a Spanish Colonial bench, a 1961 Pop art painting by Umberto Peña and a Lolo Soldevilla sculpture on the cocktail table.

Mid-century chairs surround a distinctly Cuban glass table on a biomorphic wood base in the more formal interior dining area.

A series of dynamic arches define the spaces of this 1930s living room in Miramar, which is a traditional Mediterranean-style house on the outside.

The sculptural stair floats within the interlocking double-height volumes of the interiors—which are defined by block walls and exposed concrete ceilings.

The central hall with its enfilade of Moorish arches and ceiling cornices decorated with Arabic script is an unexpected touch of fantasy.

In Nelson Domínguez’s historic Old Havana studio, Victorian pieces are in dialogue with his clothespin-backed throne—behind is a balcony overlooking the extensive rear garden.
