River House

Posted on Fri, 8 Nov 2024 by midcenturyjo

“Framed by the oak-lined banks of the Fowl River, the aptly-named River House project is a celebration of its locale. Working with local artisans and builders, this home was designed with the clients’ love of entertaining in mind. Traditional camp-inspired elements like wood paneling, layered furnishings, and nostalgic patterns are balanced by modern millwork and a calm color palette. A bar bridges old and new structures while becoming the perfect place to pour drinks for guests piled into the Great Room for Saints kickoff. Custom banquets along either side of the fireplace conceal drawers full of board games and stash firewood for fall evenings. Easy and comfortable, nothing feels too precious as guests move seamlessly from a day on the water and onto the porch for a late night ping-pong match.”

Logan Killen Interiors work with historic structures, considering architecture, location and era, blending antiques with vintage and contemporary furnishings for a holistic and elevated design.

Maison Coursol

Posted on Thu, 7 Nov 2024 by KiM

Located in the Little Burgundy district, at the foot of downtown Montreal, this project responds to the clients’ initial request to expand their home so that their large and vibrant family of four children can enjoy a living space at their scale, while guaranteeing each of them an optimally sized bedroom. The project consists of a renovation and expansion of a building that originally consisted of two small houses with mansard roofs built in the late 19th century.
La Shed can really do no wrong. Each of their projects leaves me wanting a modern take on a historic home, which only happens with their work. Also I would consider this firm one of the best at adapting homes to life with young children. LOVE THIS. Photos: Maxime Brouillet.

Château des Fleurs

Posted on Thu, 7 Nov 2024 by KiM

The Château des Fleurs, located near the Champs Elysées, is Quintana Partners‘ first project in Paris. It is an elegant boutique hotel with thirty-seven rooms, a bar-restaurant, a gym and a spa. For this project, Quintana Partners has drawn on the rich iconography of a Paris that is as refined as it is playful, as sophisticated as it is cheerful. A “New Art Nouveau”, as they have named it, present from the façade with stained glass windows with plant motifs characteristic of the stylistic movement. The rooms, with sinuous wooden doors reminiscent of Antoni Gaudí, offer a cosy and comfortable atmosphere with rounded lines and elegant details. In addition, nods to Paris, such as the reed carpet, terracotta tiles and window boxes, add to the authentically Parisian experience.

Reviving a midcentury dream

Posted on Wed, 6 Nov 2024 by midcenturyjo

Meet West Studio meticulously remodelled this 1960s midcentury bungalow in Fayetteville, Arkansas, transforming it into a modern retreat while honouring its original charm. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the home’s restoration addressed structural issues and revealed hidden details. Warm, feminine touches define the space: a jewel-box kitchen with brass finishes, restored wood-panelled walls, bold quartzite accents and creamy limewash walls. Vintage lighting and unique furnishings bring character to each room creating a personalized, sophisticated haven.

Bold colour in Brighton

Posted on Wed, 6 Nov 2024 by midcenturyjo

“Working closely with the client, the brief was to create a cheerful second home, with injections of colour and character throughout. The primary concern was to improve the flow of spaces and maximising the limited footprint, to ensure that each area was utilised to its best advantage. Character was then added through working with a range of materials and antique pieces to give a quirky narrative to the space.”
