Inner sanctum

Posted on Tue, 9 Feb 2016 by midcenturyjo

Limited space doesn’t have to mean limited outdoor style. This small warehouse courtyard manages to include a pool, outdoor kitchen, luscious greenery and the fab feel of an inner sanctum. Clovelly garden by, who else but, Sydney-based landscape designers extraordinaire Secret Gardens.

A secret garden in Randwick

Posted on Tue, 9 Feb 2016 by midcenturyjo

Not so much a secret garden although you must admit that backyard is a bit of a hidden oasis. No it’s a design by Secret Gardens in Sydney’s inner suburb of Randwick. Bright and breezy. Like being at a holiday resort 365 days a year.

When white is wow there’s no need to say much more. Stunning kitchen design by Sydney-based architect Daniel Raymond.

The one that got away

Posted on Mon, 8 Feb 2016 by midcenturyjo

Woe is me! It’s nothing but gnashing of teeth and the renting asunder of clothing on my part. I am in deep mourning. This moody Swedish apartment is sold and will never be mine. Only these images are left to mock me. 152 sq m turn of the century penthouse in Stockholm sold by real estate agents Wrede. Link here while it lasts.

The fame, the prestige, the recognition and so much more.

You can find out more about the A’ Design Award and Competition here and register here. But hurry as entries close February 28. Results will be announced here on the blog (and worldwide) on April 15.
