Grounded

Posted on Thu, 8 Jan 2026 by midcenturyjo

Founded in 2016, Oliver Du Puy’s practice is driven by a love of thoughtful, enduring design that feels quietly refined. Loft Residence is a reimagining of an early-1900s warehouse in Sydney’s lively Surry Hills, transformed through a holistic blend of architecture, interiors and art. The design pares life back to the essentials, creating a calm dialogue between nature and form. Minimal yet warm, the space feels grounded and meditative.

A joyfully Victorian Revival

Posted on Thu, 8 Jan 2026 by midcenturyjo

This handsome Victorian villa on a corner plot in Saratoga Springs, New York has been joyfully brought back to life by Sarah Brown Interiors. Once a rather bland six-bedroom B&B, it’s now a lively holiday home for a young, horse-loving family who enjoy entertaining. Bold pattern, British contemporary craft and bespoke artworks layer each room with personality, from sociable sitting and drinks rooms to calmer, whimsical bedrooms upstairs. The result is relaxed, characterful and made for modern family life.

The owners of this expansive home in Minneapolis wanted it to “feel good” in all seasons. Bright and warm in the spring and the summer; cozy, intimate, welcoming, and inviting in the fall and winter. They also were simply looking for an updated kitchen floor after buying the house. It turned into an update of 90% of the house, and in a short timeframe. Prospect Refuge once again delivered and it is magical. Photos: Chris Mottalini; Styling: Katja Greeff.

Snuggled within a windy Edina, Minnesota street, our Vibrant Mid Century Split Level breathed life back into this 1955 home. A gut renovation, just-enough vintage, and a nod toward the home’s bones, recaptured the space. A mashup of bold colors, unexpected materials, and a dash of curiosity gives this young family a unique and personal oasis.
I love that designer Anne McDonald embraced and enhanced the groovy mid century elements of this home and added some beautiful deep jewel tones as well as some funky patterns (that kitchen backsplash is the bees knees). It’s now more current and totally liveable and practical. Photos: Michael Clifford; Styling: Yedda Morrison.

Villa Recco in Portofino, Italy, designed by Studio Skey, is an eight-bedroom cliffside home overlooking the coast. Over three years, the villa was carefully reworked, adding new spaces and reshaping the original structure within landscaped grounds. The studio brought warmth and personality to the villa’s clean, contemporary bones through bespoke pieces, artwork and styling. Carefully sourced designs, antiques and custom commissions create a relaxed, layered interior.
