A dramatic contemporary re-imagining

Posted on Wed, 28 Feb 2024 by midcenturyjo

“Transforming a c. 1930s beachside bungalow through the large scale renovation our clients had long dreamed of was a joyful experience. We curated a team of professionals to create a seamless multi generational home. The house is now a haven for a family of five united by a love of entertaining and celebrating life’s milestones.”

The house, with panoramic views of Bronte Beach, lacked architectural cohesion after a hodgepodge of previous renovations. Interior designer Jillian Dinkel added character and soul, embracing a modern Australian beach house aesthetic with oak, viola marble, and aged brass accents.

I love that so much of the history of this 1934 home in Hancock Park, L.A. was maintained during the renovations and design by Scribe Studio. The faux wood ceiling in the dining room, the wood paneling in the den and other elements really make this home unique and add so much character. The earth tones and some dark paint really add a moodiness and serious level of coziness. Photos: Haris Kenjar.

Horse stables to family home

Posted on Mon, 26 Feb 2024 by midcenturyjo

From horse stables and studio to an amazing family home this spacious Amsterdam abode combines industrial loft-like vibes with clean-lined contemporary living. The luxury of space, the luxury of light, the luxury of a custom fit out including swimming pool and the luxury of living canal side. I bet the horses of years long gone never had it this good.

Villa Cernobbio

Posted on Sun, 25 Feb 2024 by KiM

Villa Cernobbio is all I need to live happily ever after. Located about 2 kilometres northwest of Como, this is such a beautiful little city and this home is the perfect place to enjoy life in Italy. At 4844 sq ft it has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a conservatory, 3 gardens, swimming pool, outbuilding and views to take your breath away. You don’t have to do any work to this home at all, inside or out. I’ll take it! For sale via Barnes.

This full gut renovation in Dallas celebrates the original build while accommodating the needs of contemporary living. With its confident use of colour and an emphasis on deco details, the design draws on its Art Deco roots. Clean lines, period pieces, light pouring in through metal framed windows. It all adds up to a fabulous blend of past and present. Beverly Drive, Highland Park by Avery Cox Design.
