Classic with a twist

Posted on Thu, 29 Feb 2024 by KiM

A sense of elegance and history but with a casual and dramatically dark twist. I absolutely love this home designed by Studio Seiders. That kitchen is sooooo fabulous – not a white countertop or white cabinet in sight! SOOOO HOT! Architecture: 787 designstudio; Styling: Adam Forner; Photos: Lindsay Brown Taunton.

Lucy Doswell is known for creating fresh and timeless interiors with a mix of contemporary elements and classic design. She specializes in designing sophisticated yet comfortable spaces with a flair for the unexpected that are layered with antiques, fine art, and accessories.
I am here for this! Lucy’s fearlessness when it comes to colour and pattern is evident in her portfolio and the dramatic result is absolutely photo-worthy. (Some photos by Read McKendree)

I love that so much of the history of this 1934 home in Hancock Park, L.A. was maintained during the renovations and design by Scribe Studio. The faux wood ceiling in the dining room, the wood paneling in the den and other elements really make this home unique and add so much character. The earth tones and some dark paint really add a moodiness and serious level of coziness. Photos: Haris Kenjar.

The Green Box

Posted on Tue, 27 Feb 2024 by KiM

By locating a single but complex green millwork box at the center of the long apartment, circulation can flow around all sides. In the box are hidden all the kitchen and bath services; around it are public rooms that face a view of the city on two sides and, on the interior, a more private enfilade of rooms for bathing. The palette of rich colors contrasts with neutral raw concrete walls and ceilings; in addition to the deep green of the central millwork are richly colored natural quartzite stones, terrazzo, brass, botanical silks and colorful fabrics designed by Josef Frank.
I’m not sure which is my favourite element – that perfect shade of green on all that wonderful built in shelving, that glorious green stone in the kitchen, the brass and stone fireplace…. Designed by Ester Bruzkus Architekten, this 120 sq m apartment in Berlin is city living at its finest! (Photos: Robert Rieger)
