Two cottages in Norfolk become one

Posted on Thu, 9 May 2024 by KiM

Historically the two cottages were separate entities however they were usually occupied together. The accommodation in each was compromised; bedrooms accessed through bedrooms, cramped kitchens and no space where the occupants could gather. The scheme joined the cottages with an extension which freed up the floorplan and consolidated the spaces and created a large convivial dine in kitchen. The form of the extension was designed to reference the original pitched roofs of the cottages whilst the materials chosen were to contrast those of the existing cottages. The intention was that new and old elements were easily and proudly distinguishable. Elsewhere particular attention was made to preserve the integrity and character of the original cottages making interventions when only necessary. The emphasis for the interior decoration was that it should feel layered and lived in.
I am always a fan of a mix of modern and traditional so this renovation is a win for me, particularly if it means getting a large, functional kitchen in the end. Designed by Anna Haines; Architect: Kathryn Manning of Adaptation Architecture; Photos: Rachael Smith.

Coastal charm on Cap Ferret

Posted on Wed, 8 May 2024 by midcenturyjo

Oh to have a holiday home on France’s Cap Ferret. With fine sandy beaches, dense pine forest, calm sea on one side of the peninsula and crashing Atlantic breakers on the other it’s a chic yet casual resort epitomised by this stylish beach cabin by ADC Studio. A mix of vintage and modern, mid-century and found the house is perfect for sandy feet and family fun.

South Hill revival

Posted on Tue, 7 May 2024 by KiM

An enchanting mid-century modern home, where nostalgia meets innovation in a symphony of design. Throughout this home, the interplay of vintage and modern is not just a juxtaposition, but a conversation. Inspired by a passion for vintage furniture and art, every corner of this space echoes with stories of the past, intertwining seamlessly with the present. The color palette, a canvas of timeless neutrals, sets the stage for understated elegance. Hints of patina-flecked brass and the warmth of oak wood have been thoughtfully infused to embrace the comforting allure of a well-loved abode. The fusion of mid-century modern aesthetics, art deco grandeur, and the free-spirited bohemian vibe culminates in an eclectic marvel that is uniquely individual. The result is a space that is vibrant, cozy, and endlessly intriguing.
Yes yes YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! I really love this home and how every element is like a work of art. Montana Labelle is like the Canadian Kelly Wearstler and I cannot get enough.

The St Vincents Place Residence by B.E Architecture combines classical charm with modern aesthetics. Its new extension, concealed behind a heritage exterior, serves as a cultural blend, honouring history while embracing innovation. Craftsmanship shines through with Victorian-inspired details and contemporary materials like concrete and terrazzo floors. Carefully curated artworks and an eclectic interior reflect varied cultures. It’s a sanctuary of renewal, bridging heritage preservation with elevated living standards.
