Urban classicism in Roman

Posted on Fri, 2 Nov 2018 by midcenturyjo

Stunning! The view and the apartment. But as much as I’m blown away by the history outside the windows it’s the interior that has me swooning. Think classicism meets contemporary values, new and old balanced just so but with a slight misalignment for the brivido, the frisson, the thrill. The beautiful old bones, the stark beauty of the white walls, the bespoke furniture, the light all create this urban classic by Rome-based architect and designer Stefano Dorata.

 

 

Beverly Hills Pied–à–terre

Posted on Fri, 2 Nov 2018 by midcenturyjo

pied-à-terre (noun) french ​ /piˌeɪ.dætˈeər/ – a small house or apartment in a city that you own or rent in addition to your main home, where you stay when visiting that city for a short time.

Who needs a primary residence when your out-of-towner looks this good? Time to move to Beverley Hills! Apartment by L.A. based interior designer John De Bastiani.

 

“Where do you live?”
” In a penthouse in Berlin.”

Now that would be an answer I’d love to give. I can just imagine being perched above one of my favourite cities and the space I have in mind would be very much like this loft by Bfs Design. Clean, straight lines, a little concrete soften by walls of warm wood, industrial with a mid century riff and houseplants perched to take over if given half a chance.

A contemporary Swedish apartment

It may have a small footprint but this apartment in Stockholm’s Södermalm district is big on style … and there’s plenty of room to entertain your friends. The palest of blush pink palette is just the icing on this very contemporary design cake. Mono Apartments by Note Design Studio.

A maximalist apartment in London

Posted on Thu, 18 Oct 2018 by KiM

Martin Brudnizki Design Studio has done wonders with this small apartment in London. Now I know this isn’t for everyone and many out there may think it’s too much crammed into such a small space but I think the result is really cozy, loved and lived in. I am especially smitten with the kitchen.
