The often overlooked other room in your house. Here Californian garden designer Molly Wood has taken a once neglected beach bungalow’s yard and created a casual yet stylish family outdoor relaxing and entertaining space. The other room complete with bocce ball, fire pit lounging, BBQ and al fresco dining is now the star of the show.

In Rome’s Garbatella, a young couple passionate about contemporary culture, design, art and literature and avid antique enthusiasts wanted a home that retained the typical architectural character of the neighbourhood. A reinterpretation resulted in fluid, bright spaces, a pentagram house where furniture, art, and collectibles come together. Freshly plastered white walls alternate with those showcasing the original colours of the house. Terrazzo floors maintain the connection between the rooms.

Entering this apartment in Paris’ 9th arrondissement by Caroline Andréoni you are struck by the abundance of natural light streaming through large windows. The living areas exude a sense of spaciousness with an open-plan layout. A striking spiral staircase leads to the upper level containing the private quarters. The master bedroom boasts a minimalist yet cozy ambience offering a restful retreat while the children’s rooms are colourful and fun. Throughout the apartment, the use of neutral tones, warm wood accents, and elegant furnishings adds to the overall sense of serenity. The highlight of this duplex is undoubtedly the secluded courtyard accessible from the living area. The intimate outdoor space is beautifully landscaped, providing a quiet sanctuary to unwind and enjoy.

“Drawing from the historical influence imparted by Pries (the original architect in 1930), Hoedemaker Pfeiffer drew from our favorite elements of Spanish + European design to create a unique aesthetic that felt true to the original house while also being fresh and modern. A large addition was added at the back of the house to make space for the larger kitchen, new sunroom and butler’s pantry, along with an additional bedroom suite on the second floor. Additional tweaks were made throughout the rest of the house to create a modern floor plan all the while paying special attention to blur the lines between the old and new. New materials such as steel windows, brick and clay roof tiles were carefully selected to blend in with the existing materials of the house.

Though the house is in a historic, traditional neighborhood in Seattle, the client wanted the interiors of the house to be anything but. Each room is sprinkled with midcentury standouts such as Guillerme et Chambron, Charles Dudouyt, Arne Norell and others. Sitting among colorful artworks from a variety of time periods and genres, the vibe of the home is far from conventional.”

Inspired by the joyful and eclectic atmosphere of the home in the ‘Paddington’ films we created a vibrant, pattern filled home for design lovers, with an emphasis on practical solutions for family life and interesting design details throughout.
This could not be more perfect for a family with young kids. The colours are so fresh and incredibly fun and have such a wonderful energy. Immediately brings a smile to my face. Also how can you not love a yellow kitchen? Designed by James Arkoulis and Saskia Howard of Howark Design (***update: and as per the comments, also designed by Robert Atherton Design)
