A peek at a loft in Antwerp

Posted on Thu, 23 Jan 2014 by KiM

This loft is the home of Jon & Masa of the duo behind the design studio LMBRJK (check out their stools – DROOL!). It’s just a little peek. You’ll have to go over to Coffeeklatch to see the rest. 

And for a bonus treat, check out designer Piet Hein Eek’s workshop on ALL ITEMS LOADED (from the folks behind Coffeeklatch). More drooling!

Magdalena Keck latest

Posted on Thu, 23 Jan 2014 by KiM

It’s been a while since Jo shared this bright white NY pied à terre designed by Magdalena Keck, so I thought I’d follow up with some mostly not so white spaces. She continues to be all about clean, stream-lined and well considered spaces with a little bit of drama to keep things saucy. I especially love her bedrooms.

Tribe Studio

Posted on Thu, 23 Jan 2014 by midcenturyjo

Almost like cartoon construct, this Willoughby, Sydney home by Tribe Studio plays with bricks like a child with Lego. House of lofty spaces, house of light, open and bright. Not heavy. Not oppressive. Not dreadful chocolate brown hangover from the 70s. No. A celebration of adult size building blocks.

Mork Ulnes

Posted on Thu, 23 Jan 2014 by midcenturyjo

This 19th century Victorian style house San Francisco’s Haight Ashbury neighborhood was “remodelled” with the best of hippie intentions. Jump forward to the 21st century and architects Mork Ulnes have respected the building’s past and added their own slightly scandi touches to this renovation of the top 2 floors. Beautiful light floods into the attic bedroom while the butcher-block stairway and bridge provide drama and a sense of transition from public to private space.

 

Into the woods

Posted on Wed, 22 Jan 2014 by KiM

W O O D. If a home completely swathed in wood is not your thing, divert your eyes immediately. Into The Woods is another project by Breathe Architecture, where you will find an insane amount of different type of wood throughout the home. I LOVE the exterior – also wood! (I wonder if they threw in the tattooed lumberjack). Photos again by Andrew Wuttke
