It has been a while since I shared some projects by San Francisco design firm Studio Muir (they were here and here). I thought I would share a glimpse into some of their latest work. It continues to be classic, timeless yet modern. (Photos: Nicole Franzen, landscape: Stephens Design Studio)

“Respecting the rich culture and architecture of the building, we seek to restore it’s natural raw beauty, before injecting unexpected moments of contemporary culture, representing the youth of its occupier.”

The designer calls it “Subversive Intervention”. I call this Sydney home by Blainey North  luxury with a touch of rebellion.

A few months back I shared an ingenious bike storage idea in a London mews house. The property designed by Studio Mackereth is now for sale through The Modern House (here) and we get to see the rest of this stylish and clever home. Slide-away hide-away kitchen, hidden television and of course those stairs.

Brutalist concrete and raw luxury in Portugal. Like a modern interpretation of a rustic quinta Casa Meco by Atelier RUA sits low to the ground providing shelter from the elements yet with expansive views. Simple yet sensual.

“Resurrected from a ruinous state, The Bank in Vaughan reclaims its former stature through careful restoration and ‘partnering’ with a new pod extension, adapting from a civic building to the next chapter as a country residence.”

The slate clad pod houses the bathroom, light and bright in contrast to the moody bank interiors where the vibrant blue was informed by remnants of the original colour scheme.  Breathing new life into an old country town. The Bank by Maria Danos Architecture.
