Coastal fusion

Posted on Mon, 20 Nov 2023 by midcenturyjo

Electric Bowery transformed this ocean-view home by infusing Coastal Spanish influences into its existing Mediterranean character. Emphasizing natural elements and contemporary art, they reimagined the opulent Tuscan style with a lighter touch. Mixing traditional architecture—like soft arched openings and natural plaster—with modern sculptural furniture and vibrant colours, they created a balanced, sophisticated space. Dark wood accents, oxblood tiles, and intricate terracotta flooring framed by Rosso Toscana Marble added depth, while vintage and custom lighting complemented the home’s blend of tradition and modernity.

Serene sophistication

Posted on Thu, 16 Nov 2023 by midcenturyjo

“Nestled in the historic Presidio Height neighborhood of San Francisco, this Colonial Revival home had beautiful bones but needed to be reformatted spacially to gain more kitchen and living space, grow the bottom level, allow more natural light, and update all finishes. Careful attention to millwork details, natural stone, and special wall finishes took precedence on the architectural side. While on the decoration front, we placed emphasis on a mix of classic and modern silhouettes, with heavy use of vintage pieces to add a European sensibility.”

A beach house haven

Posted on Tue, 14 Nov 2023 by midcenturyjo

“Perched on a hill this small beach shack,  which has fabulous treetop views over Portsea and Sorrento,  underwent a dramatic transformation. An extensive renovation doubled the space with an additional level built underneath with pool deck area into the steep hill. It was important to keep the original elements of the house, such as the limestone walls and angled exposed beam ceiling. A minimal all white palette with custom furniture and select vintage pieces and objects create a calm and relaxed environment for the many visitors during summer months.”

Bunker In The Treetops

Posted on Mon, 6 Nov 2023 by midcenturyjo

Inspired by the Modernist ideals of truth in material and connection to nature this design is overlaid with a casual eclecticism. Mid-century, contemporary and custom pieces sit within a simple concrete formwork box with soaring ceilings and large windows framing views of the local landscape. Bespoke handcrafted elements soften the concrete structure, creating comfortable conversational spaces and accentuating materiality and texture. The design prioritizes everyday use across five levels, fulfilling the clients’ desire for a real sense of fun and openness. Bunker in the Treetops by Esoteriko.
