Working on a Saturday

Posted on Sat, 20 Jan 2024 by midcenturyjo

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. The Office Group Black and White Building by Daytrip.

What was once a boxy, cramped 1920s lakehouse located among Ohio’s Portage Lakes, is now a swanky residence for a retired “single, older gentleman” who is I betcha going to find himself an equally swanky partner now that he has these cool digs! A bit mad men and a bit roaring ’20s is where Tanner Sammons and Jennifer Laouari of Morgan Madison Design took this home and it is possibly one of the classiest lakehouses I’ve ever seen.

They say it’s all about location, location, location but a cool house helps too. What I love about this gentle reworking of this waterfront cabin in Maine by Angie Hranowsky is just that … a gentle hand, a light touch. It’s rental which explains the lack of big ticket, rip it out and rebuild projects but I think it’s perfect. Mind you with a view like that I’d be happy to sit on a box 😛

Halfmoon Bay cabin

There’s something about a modern wood cabin that continues to tug at my heart strings. In Halfmoon Bay, British Columbia, this contemporary cottage designed and owned by Frits de Vries Architects + Associates sits amongst the trees and along the Georgia Strait and is quite a sight. You would never know this home is only 1,450 square feet. Cedar, concrete, Douglas fir and floor to ceiling windows really set the stage for this cabin in the forest. So calming and peaceful.
