Chimney Rock is a warm, modern retreat designed by Sonoma-based architecture + interior design firm Studio Plow as home for the parents of founder Brit Epperson. Inspired by the intimacy of camping and the rhythm of daily rituals, the home emphasizes comfort, kinship and craft. An open floorplan fosters connection, while bespoke details, many created in collaboration with family including custom furniture by Epperson’s brother, infuse the space with personal significance. Every element was thoughtfully considered to create a deeply personal and enduring home rooted in warmth, simplicity and the quiet beauty of shared experience.

Working on a Saturday

Posted on Sat, 5 Jul 2025 by midcenturyjo

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish and there isn’t anything more stylish than a designer’s own offices. Welcome to the creative studio of Laura Gonzalez.

Headland House is a reimagined Art Deco residence overlooking South Bondi, designed by Sydney-based studio Richards Stanisich, an interior design and architecture practice known for thoughtful, emotive spaces. While preserving the original masonry shell, the design introduced a new upper level and restructured interior layout. Celebrating Sydney’s beachside exuberance, the interiors feature sculptural forms, rich colour, and materials chosen to amplify light. Gloss finishes, curved elements, and ceramic surfaces interact with sunlight throughout the day, creating a home that feels both vibrant and timelessly crafted.
