A modern oasis in Hollywood

Posted on Mon, 22 Apr 2024 by midcenturyjo

Contemporary architecture blends with mid-century aesthetics in the Hollywood Hills home of Osklo co-founders Arya and Michael Martin. Japanese aesthetics inform the design with a materials palette of herringbone oak floors, creamy limestone and knotty wood panelling, emulating the Japanese Hinoki wood’s look on the exterior. A perfect blend of Eastern design and Western ambience.

Timeless fusion in Bel Air

The client already owned an impressive collection of art and vintage furniture when Alana Marie Interiors started this project in Bel Air. “My role was to create and curate moments throughout the home that allowed these pieces a moment in the spotlight.” The result is a marvellous marriage of retro and bespoke, the 70s and now.

The renovation of a Victorian weatherboard house with a vast new extension by Sydney-based YSG took into consideration the diverse tastes of the owners. One is Danish with an appreciation for clean finishes and pale timber. The other is Egyptian-Australian, passionate about pattern, tactility and colour. Vivid gem-toned panels encircle an apricot front door, setting the tone for a vibrant interior. A dark peach hallway, accented with matching tiles and a timber-framed sliding door, leads to a luminous living area. The house’s transformation includes coloured glass windows, hammam-inspired bathrooms, and pixelated porcelain tiles that blur the line between Persian rugs and modern design, creating a unique blend of cultural influences.

Pretty in pink

Posted on Tue, 16 Apr 2024 by midcenturyjo

Jillian Dinkel Interior Design revamped the interiors of a beautifully preserved Victorian Italianate terrace house for a professional couple and their children … and it’s all the clients’ love of pink. The designers prioritized preserving the interior architecture while integrating modern joinery and conveniences. The Woollahra terrace, built in 1891, offered a rare experience of stepping into a century-old home with well-preserved grand architectural elements. Named Tarella, its ornate cornices, stone fireplaces, and spacious front rooms provided a luxurious canvas for the design. The formal floor plan includes a sitting room, library and a generous primary suite with a walk-in wardrobe. A powder room with Memphis-inspired burgundy cabinetry was added on the entry level, mirroring the laundry and family bathroom design. Marble and bronze touches throughout create a sophisticated, textured look.

Designers’ own

Dating back to 1871, Ellsworth rests serenely along a tranquil country road in northwestern Connecticut. Originally a sprawling 1,200-acre dairy farm, its current thirty-three-acre expanse of woodlands and fields preserves the narrative of its evolving past. Having admired the property for years, the renovation by Hendricks Churchill was carefully considered. Today, Heide Hendricks and Rafe Churchill call it home, honouring its history through ongoing enhancements, including maintaining hay fields and repurposing the dairy barn.
