Embracing nature and timelessness

Posted on Thu, 4 Apr 2024 by midcenturyjo

“An open connection between inside and outside is a key theme of the home, originally built in the 1960s by architect A Quincy Jones, and Ome Dezin’s work ensures that this remains. The integration of an atrium space brings both natural light into the center of the dwelling space and highlights a 40 ft waterfall in the backyard. Amid a mostly neutral base of finishes, wood plays heavily in warming and bringing texture inward, while natural stone elevates kitchens and bathrooms, creating a sense of timelessness.”

“A full interior and exterior renovation of a c.1905 federation cottage and converted stables outbuilding. The extensive renovation aims to blur the line between old and new, original and reinterpreted. Respecting its federation past, the renovation provides a contemporary overlay that honours decorative ornamentation and materials familiar to the federation era. Interior colour, decoration and furniture selections were inspired by the extensive collection of art painted by our client over a number of years. “

The most beautiful home in Ottawa

Posted on Mon, 1 Apr 2024 by KiM

My design idol, Henrietta Southam, has created such a magnificent oasis in her latest home here in Ottawa and just when I thought could not be more impressed with her creativity and style….well here we are. I am shook that she can make an earthy, neutral colour palette so damn sexy and sophisticated, and be so dramatic. And to be doing this from a city that has access to almost no decent design shops and in general some of the most boring and bland taste in interiors. It is what makes Henrietta so unique and inspiring. Read more about her home on Architectural Digest (!!!!). Photos: Marc Fowler of Metropolis Studio

“This renovation was to provide a beautiful first home for a young couple. The clients wanted bright, refined and elegant colours paired with accents of natural timber to add some warmth back into the space. Our goal was to increase the sense of space in the apartment as well as bring more light into their living areas.”

Seaside farm sanctuary

Posted on Fri, 29 Mar 2024 by midcenturyjo

Perched on the Mornington Peninsula, this farmhouse renovation seamlessly integrates bushland and sea vistas, crafting a serene horse hobby farm away from the city bustle. Inspired by its Australian rural surroundings the design palette echoes nature’s hues with eucalyptus greens and ocean blues. Collaborating with local artisans, bespoke elements like kitchen plates and handcrafted balustrades adorn the space. The design has balanced the modern with the heritage, incorporating textured renders and reclaimed French beams for character while personal touches fill every corner.
