A fresh take on a London icon

Posted on Mon, 5 May 2025 by midcenturyjo

Black and Milk have transformed an apartment in London’s Barbican Estate into a peaceful retreat for a newly retired couple. Embracing the flat’s unique character, the team carefully balanced its Brutalist roots with a fresh modern sensibility. They reworked the layout for contemporary living, introduced premium materials and crafted a bespoke kitchen that nods to the original design, creating a timeless home that beautifully blends heritage with thoughtful, updated design.

Designer’s own

Jennifer Bunsa, interior designer and founder of Bunsa Studio, transformed her cherished family home in Miami with thoughtful, personal touches. Originally built in 1948 and passed down from her great-grandmother, the home was where Jennifer spent her early years. Before moving back from Brooklyn, she updated the space with studio favorites like Marthe Armitage wallpaper, made subtle floor plan improvements, and curated a collection of vintage and custom pieces, including Moroccan rugs and Lindsey Adelman lighting.

A multi-century chateau, its 15th-century gatehouse, immense outbuildings and romantic 42-hectare grounds traversed by a river, in the former Perche province. The description of this magnificent property is lengthy, but in essence the château structure has a ground floor (several sitting rooms, kitchen), first floor (seven bedrooms, three bathrooms, a lavatory and library), second floor (ten bedrooms, two bathrooms and lavatories) and basement (several vaulted rooms with exposed stone walls). There is the three-story northern Saint François Tower, a gatehouse, a two-story Renaissance-era dwelling, a bell tower, former stables and outbuildings, a water tower, a vegetable garden, formal gardens, a canal…..
HOW IS THIS REAL??? And you would basically be buying a village. This is spectacular. For sale via Patrice Besse for €3,180,000.

It’s like I say wek in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Henne Fiveways by Brahman Perera.

The Modernist Tudor

Posted on Fri, 2 May 2025 by KiM

A retreat to nature for our accomplished New York City clients. Deeply attuned to their environment, our clients partnered with Artemis Landscape Architects to restore the land, reintroducing native flora and seamlessly integrating the home into its natural setting. Our role was to bring warmth and depth to the newly built structure, infusing the interiors with soul, texture, and a narrative that feels both intentional and timeless. Thoughtful layers of materiality, vintage elements, and curated pieces create a home that is both a refuge and a reflection of its surroundings.
Getting behind this when white/cream walls don’t typically get me very excited because in typical Moore House Design fashion, lots of moodiness is added in dark furniture and accessories and the textures are always next level. I really love this Jamestown, RI home.
