Historic elegance reimagined

Posted on Tue, 26 Nov 2024 by midcenturyjo

“Back in 1911, businessman Joan Llopis commissioned a building in the Catalan district of Eixample to Marquis Enric Sagnier Villavechia (1858-1931) for him and his family. The prolific architect designed a noble apartment on the main floor for Llopis and his wife and three adjacent floors for each of his three daughters. The ground floor of the building would serve as a textile warehouse for the Samaranch family. A century later, this noble Principal keeps the splendor of its past with original elements like the marble floors and entrance columns after a major restoration turned the space into a chic and eclectic apartment.”

Colour and pattern as only the Brits do

Quintessentially English as we like to say. This home is filled with the prettiest colours in each room and patterned headboards and curtains in the bedrooms are a must. And the only way to go is to follow suit in the bathrooms too. Designed by Olivine Design. Photos: Milo Brown.

Working on a Saturday

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Medical building by LALA Reimagined.

Redfern Terrace House by Brace Design is a thoughtful renovation and extension of a classic inner Sydney townhouse, blending functionality with contemporary style while honouring its historic charm. A small front bedroom was reconfigured into a walk-in robe, seamlessly integrating with the main bedroom and bathroom to form a spacious, private suite. Timber panels along the hallway artfully conceal doors and stairs, creating a streamlined entryway. Upstairs, the roof space was transformed into a cozy guest bedroom with an ensuite. At the rear, an open-plan kitchen and dining area bathed in natural light connects beautifully to the garden, showcasing practical and elegant design solutions.
