“Together with our talented clients James Chinlund and Clare Crespo we transformed a 1950s era home in the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles into a dynamic and warm living space suited to the way the family spends time together and entertains. By capturing an under-utilized second story balcony we created built-in seating with breathtaking views of the hills and a connection between the kitchen and living spaces.”

Inviting spaces with a certain glow from wood and wide windows. A touch of Japanese and respect for the house’s mid-century roots. This home renovation is by Los Angeles-based Lovers Unite, an architecture and design studio creating one-of-a-kind homes.

In 1985, a historic Redfern warehouse built in 1903 as McMurties Shoe Factory underwent one of Sydney’s first warehouse-to-apartment transformations. Today, Studio Noakes has worked their magic refurbishing one of the apartments. The building’s heritage shines through high ceilings, hardwood columns and exposed rafters. The studio carefully restored and enhanced these industrial features, seamlessly blending history with a contemporary aesthetic. Bold colours, expansive forms and textured spaces highlight the client’s dynamic art collection, showcasing works from local talents. Fusing natural, vintage and iconic pieces has created a vibrant harmony in this young artist’s home. The result is a space that balances historical character with creative energy, reflecting the vibrancy of its inner-city surroundings.

Toronto designer Ashley Montgomery continues to sweep me off my feet with her casual, earthy, eclectic, cozy projects and this new one, Mountain Home in Collingwood, Ontario is an absolute beauty. That kitchen is giving me all the feels and going into my inspiration folder. Photos: Lauren Miller.

 This five-bedroom 1960s ranch-style house in Miami underwent a huge transformation, turning it into a wonderfully bright and whimsical home with the help of many Josef Frank fabrics and colours pulled from them. Such vibrant and fun energy exuded from every room. Designed by Bunsa Studio. Photos: Nicole Franzen.
