Books and art and books and art!!!! I adore this Upper Est Side apartment belonging to architect Carlos Garciavelez and interior designer David Lawrence of design firm Carlos David. Aside from the books and art they created lots of graphic, impactful elements that I adore in what is a simple layout. Brilliant!

A designer’s own

“Hidden in a 18th-century hotel particulier, Charles Zana’s private apartment reveals all its secrets. Coated in a sage green, every room is punctuated with objects and pieces of furniture from eras that have nothing in common. Charles Zana has always liked to intersect various periods. From well-known Italian designers from the post-war era to the spirit of Enlightenment, the French interior designer prefers a subtle luxury and understated lines.”

There is nothing more inspiring than a designer’s own home. Boundaries are pushed, risks taken and discord or beauty or even better both emerge. Orsay, Paris by Charles Zana.

“Inala Apartment aptly named after the aboriginal word meaning ‘resting place’, this 1960s two-bedroom apartment is transformed, its key rooms relocated to maximise a small footprint and forge new connections to light and landscape. With its timeless palette of concrete, stainless-steel and oak, a new sense of calm now prevails.”

Clever storage, open spaces and lovely light. What more could you ask from this contemporary makeover of a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment in Sydney’s Cremorne. Inala Apartment by Brad Swartz Architects.
