Minimalism with maximum punch. That’s how I described the portfolio of Australian interior design firm Mim when I first featured them back here. Still less but luxe, still glam without the wham bam slap you in the face m’am. Quiet but stunning. The silent assassins of style. And if minimal bathrooms are your thing then I thinking you’ll be pinning several of these.

There is an air of mystery and drama about the designs of John Minshaw. This award-winning architectural and interior designer from London is a master at creating unassuming, minimally adorned yet classic and elegant spaces. His simple designs speak volumes.

And a couple special treats….what I would do to have both of these….

Gesamtkunstwerk. It’s about a totally integrated work of art, a holistic approach to design. Think about the architectural design of a building combined with interior design, furniture design, art and so on. Everything is considered for the whole. OK enough of the design lesson. Let’s look at this fab modern redesign, the latest residential project by Andy Martin Studio. It’s Andy’s family house in Notting Hill Gate. The existing 2 level mews house was redeveloped into a 4 level family home.  A simple historical facade  opens onto a space that it not expected. A space that is modern and considered, where solid plays against void, light against heavy, smooth against texture. But driving it all is the need for a family space, a workable albeit stylish home.

I love this studio. It belongs to fashion blogger Jane Aldridge and her mom Judy. GORG!!! (See more of it here)
