The Beach Club

Posted on Tue, 4 Feb 2025 by midcenturyjo

Larissa Leigh Interiors takes a visionary approach, balancing functionality, harmony and storytelling in the spaces they design. Overlooking Shark Beach in Sydney, The Beach Club is a coastal venue that embraces its natural surroundings. Tasked with its transformation, the studio preserved its raw beauty, concrete, sandstone and timber trusses while layering refined, soulful elements. With its seamless indoor-outdoor flow, al fresco deck, and private bar, the space remains a warm and inviting coastal escape.

Built in 1931, this charming Spanish home sits atop a quiet East LA hill, surrounded by lush greenery for a private treehouse feel. The design embraces its cozy, secluded nature with natural materials, colored plaster, and thoughtfully curated trinkets. Every detail enhances the home’s warmth and character, creating an intimate retreat that blends nostalgia and whimsy while celebrating its unique setting and timeless charm.

This 1820s Creole cottage compound in New Orleans’ French Quarter has been transformed by Young Projects, an architecture and design firm based in New York City. The property features a main house with a classic four-square layout and a carriage house. The interiors are thoughtfully curated with the primary rooms—bar, music room, salon, and dining room—each showcasing distinct colours, finishes, materials and furnishings. Custom gold leaf doorways connect these spaces creating seamless yet dramatic transitions. The property also includes a tranquil walled courtyard with a swimming pool and old-growth trees enhancing its blend of historic charm and modern sophistication.

This home was recently built with incredible views of the Vermont mountains and Sheila Bridges designed it with the outdoors in mind, with beautiful colours and some very à propos wallpapers used in many spaces, all of which depict flora and/or fauna. I love the concept of bringing nature indoors like that, subtle but not so once you catch on :). Photos: Frank Frances.
