A designer’s home in Hancock Park
Posted on Wed, 22 Jun 2022 by midcenturyjo
Oh my! Can we just stop and drink in the loveliness of Los Angeles based interior designer Noel Pittman‘s Hancock Park home? Spanish Mission, trad meets new, block print fabric and handmade tiles. And don’t get me started on the library. I’m scanning my home looking for a room to convert into a version of that fabulous space. Love!
Resting place
Posted on Wed, 22 Jun 2022 by midcenturyjo
“Inala Apartment aptly named after the aboriginal word meaning ‘resting place’, this 1960s two-bedroom apartment is transformed, its key rooms relocated to maximise a small footprint and forge new connections to light and landscape. With its timeless palette of concrete, stainless-steel and oak, a new sense of calm now prevails.”
Clever storage, open spaces and lovely light. What more could you ask from this contemporary makeover of a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment in Sydney’s Cremorne. Inala Apartment by Brad Swartz Architects.

The house recast
Posted on Tue, 21 Jun 2022 by KiM
The owners, a retired couple, approached Studio Ben Allen to reconsider the piecemeal rear façade of their end of terrace Victorian house in north London and to provide a new kitchen and two new bathrooms – one to be on the ground floor and accessible. The architects were keen to consider how the extension could demonstrate exemplarily use of pigmented patterned concrete as both structure and architectural finish. Green patterned columns and beams create a framework for the salmon colour structural wall panels of the first-floor bathroom. Internally the use of pigmented concrete continues – with stairs, counters, sink, floors, benches, bath and washbasin all cast in pigmented concrete. A second theme is the use of louvered vaulted ceilings with bring diffuse light down into both the kitchen and bathroom. A double height space connects the new ground floor spaces with a new mezzanine on the first floor which in turn is connected to the main stair. This void allows light to penetrate deep into the house while also creating visual and aural connections through the house.
The creativity! The curves! The colours!

Hollywood glam in a Texas home
Posted on Wed, 15 Jun 2022 by KiM
Not everyone loved the last feature I shared of Annie Brahler of EuroTrash‘s work. And not everyone will love this one that is very Hollywood glam with gorgeous marble harlequin floors, lots of gold/brass and blingy chandeliers. But I had to share it because she’s got balls and I admire that. Go big or go home, amiright?
