“A sensitive adaptation by Brad Swartz Architects brings extra space and light into a 1861 heritage sandstone terrace without increasing its footprint. A sculptural steel staircase, sky-roof and glass walls work together to bring daylight through the core, and turn an unused attic into a contemporary take on the sunroom.”

Posted on Fri, 15 Apr 2022 by midcenturyjo

Bright, colourful and fun this 70s beach home in Balnarring on the Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula was given a very modern update by Melbourne-based interior design studio Alexander Pollock. A playful and enchanting home that turns the beach house cliché on its head.

Neutral doesn’t mean flat and boring. No not at all as this Santa Barbara Spanish Mission style house by Joyce Downing Pickens of JDP Interiors cleverly illustrates. Texture is the hero as is the use of light and shadow. A mix of old and new brings depth and style.

“A terrace in the Inner-Sydney suburb of Paddington is transformed through a contemporary and minimalist aesthetic whilst retaining traditional, heritage elements … Central to the design and key to the clients desires, the effortless blending of the traditional and contemporary affords the terrace a sense of comfort, elegance, and warmth, reflective of the Paddington lifestyle.”

A holistic blend of old and new

“The brief. Transform a rare freestanding 1890s Italianate style terrace house in Sydney’s Inner West into a three level home combining the delight of a warm, contemporary aesthetic with the flexibility and robustness required for the changing needs of family life. A respect for the heritage of the original features is paramount as is creating a connection between the interior living spaces and the outside terrace and garden.”
