It’s a Park Avenue apartment but loosened up. Not your typical over tweaked, over stuffed, over styled, karate chop designer pad. Simplified, formality removed, family friendly, relaxed. An oasis of calm in the maddening Big Apple. By multi disciplinary design practice De-SPEC.

The flexible design of the space within this London home allows it to be used by in a number of ways by family members. A pied-à-terre at one end with loft bedroom, turn another way, open the doors and now a three bedroom flat. The folding screens providing privacy to the loft are polycarbonate. A modern redesign with elegant Victorian proportions by VW + BS Architecture and Design.

A house and a tiny apartment. Both perfectly imperfect. Yes there are gaps and cracks. White paint unites disparate surfaces and eras. Art draws the eye. Style and personality and something I can’t put my finger on. The frisson of wabi sabi? One thing I do know. There are not enough photos! I need to see more. The first house is in Avalon with the link here. The second is a bijou home in Potts Point. Who needs a sofa when friends can gather round your table. Link here while it lasts.

Rough and sleek, old and new, neutral and black. Walls softened by fabric and mezzanine of OSB. Even a false door. Big on style and small in square metres. 29sqm by Polish architects 3XA.

So here’s the premise. You fall in love with a home in a magazine and want to buy it all. Right now. Lock, stock and barrel. Or you’re at an open for inspection and take a liking to the sofa or the vase or that print. Now you just can’t take it with you. Or can you? The Cross Street Project by C+M Studio allows you to buy into that impulse. You can buy the apartment empty, you can buy it all or you can shop the amazing objects that fill the space. Open for 3 weeks only from October 25 the apartment is in Bronte, Sydney but you can find all the details here.
