The appearance of gold

Posted on Thu, 11 Jan 2024 by midcenturyjo

“Yellow-coloured objects appear to be gold” – Aristotle. It’s a quote used by Geremia Design to describe their reworking of a Julia Morgan house. (Morgan’s most famous building is Hearst Castle.) It’s about bold, saturated colour and the juxtaposition of old and new, novel and familiar, subtle and dramatic. It’s about alchemy … and gold.

A designer’s Victorian terraced home in Bath

Posted on Wed, 10 Jan 2024 by KiM

Sean Symington‘s personal residence is a sophisticated and intricately designed house, serving as a direct embodiment of his unique design sensibilities and personal aesthetic. With dedicated effort, Sean and his team painstakingly revitalised this Victorian Terraced house in the heart of Bath, fashioning it into a distinctive and personality-infused property that stands as a genuine testament to the design firm’s proficiency in restoration and interior architecture. Once we obtained the property, Sean and his team embarked on the challenging task of transforming this former student rental house into a distinct and inviting family home, which would also serve as a showcase for our firm’s capabilities. We adorned each room with exquisite fabrics and wallpapers, crafting eclectic and refined interior designs.
This is about as quaint and quintessentially English as it gets. And includes one of the prettiest kitchens I’ve seen.

A contemporary Grand Georgian

Posted on Tue, 9 Jan 2024 by midcenturyjo

This contemporary home in the Georgian style exudes a timeless international flair, marrying what the designer calls “Classic Modernist” principles with transitional design. Crafted with meticulous care, this downsizer (yes I did say downsizer) is all about enduring elegance and top-notch craftsmanship. Emphasizing durability and easy maintenance the interior showcases sleek joinery, quartzite stones and a blend of natural elements—timber, stone, metal, and Murano glass—infusing warmth and sophistication. Architectural elements, from stone detailing to Georgian-inspired cornices, were thoughtfully integrated to honour the home’s style. Grand Georgian in Sydney’s Double Bay by Carla Barton.

A Chelsea Loft Apartment

Posted on Tue, 9 Jan 2024 by midcenturyjo

My New York dream. A classic loft space that goes on and on. A multitude of living spaces. Bedrooms that are boudoirs with yet more seating areas. An office the size of most NY studios. A girl can dream and when I do I’ll it will be this Chelseas loft Ryan Lawson that will fill my mind’s eye. Chic and bohemian, quirky and massive.
