Coastal charm on Cap Ferret

Posted on Wed, 8 May 2024 by midcenturyjo

Oh to have a holiday home on France’s Cap Ferret. With fine sandy beaches, dense pine forest, calm sea on one side of the peninsula and crashing Atlantic breakers on the other it’s a chic yet casual resort epitomised by this stylish beach cabin by ADC Studio. A mix of vintage and modern, mid-century and found the house is perfect for sandy feet and family fun.

“Picture a young family of globetrotters who recently settled in the land of bikes and canals, seeking a home that’s both timeless and fun. This nomadic family of four wanted to revel in vibrant colours and playful spaces that spark joy and curiosity. From kicking back in the music room – records playing – to entertaining their tribe, this was the perfect place to lay down some memories. As usual, we gathered from a global black-book of both new and vintage gems, including unique finds from local Dutch artisans, to create an atmosphere that’s truly one of a kind.”

From layers of neutral textures, pops of colour and carefully collated furniture details emerges a fun, fresh family home in Amsterdam. Dutch Quarter by Melbourne-based Sally Caroline.

South Hill revival

Posted on Tue, 7 May 2024 by KiM

An enchanting mid-century modern home, where nostalgia meets innovation in a symphony of design. Throughout this home, the interplay of vintage and modern is not just a juxtaposition, but a conversation. Inspired by a passion for vintage furniture and art, every corner of this space echoes with stories of the past, intertwining seamlessly with the present. The color palette, a canvas of timeless neutrals, sets the stage for understated elegance. Hints of patina-flecked brass and the warmth of oak wood have been thoughtfully infused to embrace the comforting allure of a well-loved abode. The fusion of mid-century modern aesthetics, art deco grandeur, and the free-spirited bohemian vibe culminates in an eclectic marvel that is uniquely individual. The result is a space that is vibrant, cozy, and endlessly intriguing.
Yes yes YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! I really love this home and how every element is like a work of art. Montana Labelle is like the Canadian Kelly Wearstler and I cannot get enough.

There is no description for this absolutely breathtaking landscaping project by Dan Pearson Studio. All that really needs to be said is this is so perfect I could cry.

The St Vincents Place Residence by B.E Architecture combines classical charm with modern aesthetics. Its new extension, concealed behind a heritage exterior, serves as a cultural blend, honouring history while embracing innovation. Craftsmanship shines through with Victorian-inspired details and contemporary materials like concrete and terrazzo floors. Carefully curated artworks and an eclectic interior reflect varied cultures. It’s a sanctuary of renewal, bridging heritage preservation with elevated living standards.
