A graphic transformation

Posted on Wed, 27 Sep 2023 by midcenturyjo

The renovation of this 85m2 historic house in Valencia, Spain by Viruta Lab had its genesis in the maritime essence of the old fishing neighbourhood. It was important to respectfully restore the original architectural elements and existing materials after years of neglect to reveal their hidden splendour. The project focuses on enhancing the house’s historic charm, reintroducing essential elements with a new language evoking the sea. Brick walls contrast with blue and white mosaic checkerboard tiles, creating a hypnotic optical effect. The home retains its traditional natural light entryways and features a rooftop with a charming gazebo.

Relaxed elegance with neutrals

Posted on Tue, 26 Sep 2023 by KiM

The brief for the upgrade of this interwar Californian bungalow was to provide a retreat for a young family – sophisticated, liveable, relaxed. The kitchen was planned and executed to function as the heart of the family home. The client loves to cook and this laid the foundation to create a kitchen and butler’s pantry that cater to a family’s needs. An important part of the client’s brief was to have family friendly bathrooms with definitive details, custom finishes and fixtures. The beauty of the custom limestone checkerboard and cabochon floors is the subtle variation between the two types of limestone.
Designed by Phoebe Nicol, this home is about as serene and easy on the eye as it gets. It is elegant and refined yet inviting and has a sense of serenity. With all the light upholstered furniture they must have the most well behaved children on the planet 🙂 (Photos: Dave Wheeler. Styling: Joseph Gardner)

This project is all about the seamless blending opposites. A classic building meets a bold, concrete addition, giving a fresh twist to regional architecture. Inside, it’s all about creating a relaxing vibe with natural materials and artisanal flair for that subtle touch of luxury. And in a fabulous position like this, the gardens were a top priority. Traditional yet modern, breaking down the barriers between indoor and outdoor through the retractable windows. A Mediterranean dream. Villa Frederica by Caprini & Pellerin.

Minimalist in Madrid

Posted on Thu, 21 Sep 2023 by midcenturyjo

Every element in this Madrid penthouse by Ventura is custom-designed for efficiency. Futuristic tech seamlessly manages lighting, climate, and curtains without disturbing the serene vibe. Living areas revolve around a discreet matte white core, camouflaging appliances and TVs with oak wood accents. An open kitchen stays hidden yet connected. A custom shelving system doubles as a sideboard and library, expanding the space while the terrace view is framed by floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors. The private zone revolves around an oak core, hiding a dressing room, toilet and stone wash basins cleverly placed for natural light. The shower boasts skyline views through an arched window. White plaster and raw linen curtains lend a soothing touch, while stone floors tie it all together.
