Working on a Saturday

It’s like I save week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere super stylish. Farage Headquarters by Greg Natale.

An elegant discretion

Posted on Fri, 1 Mar 2024 by midcenturyjo

This Madrid home by Tristán Domecq is all about quiet luxury. With its dark timbers and liberal use of stone the lines are a contemporary riff on art deco motifs all the while respecting its historical elements such as the elaborate cornices. It may seem at times a little constrained and carefully curated then the quirkiness of the wicker chairs in the style of Chris Wolston and the feminine touch of the floral painting bring a smile to your face. Elegant, discrete with a quick flick of a smile.

Modernist by the sea

Perched atop Sorrento’s cliff, this 1960s gem by McGlashan Everist Architects underwent a meticulous modernization. The clients, deliberating for a decade, sought to preserve its essence while integrating modern comforts. Adapting the floor plan for multi-generational use, the original design’s integrity was maintained. Careful deconstruction allowed for upgrades like hydronic heating and double-glazed windows, blending seamlessly with the original aesthetic. Artisan trades revitalized features, ensuring a successful marriage of past and present in this iconic home’s renovation. Sorrento House by Cera Stribley.
