A 19th century family home in Edinburgh 

Posted on Mon, 2 Sep 2024 by KiM

Heriot Row in Edinburgh is a beautiful family home that dates back to the 1800’s. HZI were commissioned to renovate this historic five story property whilst retaining its heritage. With a combination of architectural and interior design, HZI remodelled the house giving this family of six more space by developing a basement extension. The bedrooms, three reception rooms, dining room, kitchen, gym and bathrooms were all updated, adding interest and character through architectural detailing, custom joinery, specialist plasterwork, furniture and fixtures.
In true Hubert Zandberg Interiors fashion, a beautiful home is made even more beautiful at his hand, with elements of sophistication, elegance and practicality. Layered and lovely! Photos: James McDonald.

I really admire this Los Angeles home designed by Julia Chasman. It has a bit of everything which really speaks to me as I tend to be unable to settle one one style/vibe/scheme. In my humble option it is a wonderful example of blending maximalism and minimalism. You have a serene, almost farmhouse style kitchen bordering on minimal, and then a snug that is completely wrapped in multiple patterns and bold colours. Fabulous! Photos: Sara Ligorria-Tramp.

This is a lot of house for a vacation home but what a vacation home it is! Built in 1770, this riverfront home in Easton, Maryland designed by Jess Weeth of Weeth Home honours its history and was at the same time brought into the present making it a functional and beautiful for years to come. I love that it has a bit of sophistication, cottagecore, and beach vibes. Stunning. Photos: Keyanna Bowen.

Vriskaig House

Posted on Thu, 29 Aug 2024 by KiM

Vriskaig House sits above Portree Loch (in the Hebrides – an archipelago off the west coast of the Scottish mainland), sited in a wooded hillside, bedded into its wild context with views across the water. Two volumes intersect; an arching, blackened timber clad form follows the contours of the land, from which a rubbled local stone front wall descends dramatically, concealing further accommodation behind. This blackened timber cladding and natural stone walling reduces the visual impact of the dwelling from distant views.The use of natural materials runs into the interior, a free flowing, generous but understated space. The rough and rugged environment outside is striking, viewed through large expanses of slimline glazing. Clayplaster walls, natural resin floors and ash joinery work together in a carefully curated palette.
This house is very much modern and minimal which offers no distractions to the beauty outside its walls. I could sit on that sofa and watch the view for hours. Designed by Bath-based architecture and interior design firm Room. Photos: Toby Mitchell.
