Romance and Mystery in Hancock Park

Posted on Thu, 29 Jun 2023 by midcenturyjo

“Hancock Park is known for gracious homes that offer a striking mix between classic English Tudors and fanciful Old Hollywood architecture. Our goal was to preserve the essence of the home while also making necessary updates that would support the harmony, functionality, and appeal of the space. This meant leaving in some of the more ‘dated’ elements and creating an interior atmosphere that would compliment the original themes. We invited a new edge into our work by bringing romance and mystery into a family home, something unexpected. The result proved that sensuality and soul can add a necessary warmth to familial spaces.”

Beautifully curated and almost cave-like, an oasis from the glare outside the windows. Muted, mossy, mature and marvellous. Hancock Park Tudor by Jake Arnold.

White and bright in Madrid

Posted on Tue, 27 Jun 2023 by midcenturyjo

Light-filled and fabulous this Madrid apartment by Espejo & Goyanes celebrates the historic bones of the building but adds a refined contemporary sophistication. Natural wood tones combine with brighter than bright whites while golden metals and black accents punctuate the scheme.

A 12th century monastery in Catalonia

Posted on Sun, 25 Jun 2023 by KiM

This house for sale was part of the monastic complex of Santes Creus (12th century, in Catalonia). It served as a hospital and warehouse at different times, until in 1835, as a result of the Spanish confiscation, the family that currently owns the property bought it. Due to its configuration, the property could be divided into three homes, making the necessary adaptations. It has 8 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms over 690m² and is beautifully restored so the new owners have nothing to do but move in their furntiture and enjoy! For sale for €2,495,000 via Lucas Fox.

The renovation of this 85 m² pied-à-terre in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris places the emphasis on natural materials and artisanal pieces. Although minimalist it is an intimate space that celebrates the unique and inspiring. Beaumarchais, an by Batiik Studio.

A simple beauty

Posted on Wed, 21 Jun 2023 by midcenturyjo

“When we took on the commission to renovate this early 20th century house, located in a historical residential neighborhood of Madrid, we opted to maintain and preserve the classic spirit of the original house. We tried to provide sobriety and pause with the materials so that the pieces of art from the client’s personal collection would gain prominence. In addition, the facade was restored with the use of deep blue as the exterior-interior link, present in the carpentry of all the rooms of the house. On the first floor, with a more social character, unconnected spaces from previous renovations were combined and arranged, and the original staircase was maintained and restored.”
