Drama, drama, drama. It’s glam, it’s lush, it’s sophisticated yet theatrical. It’s “Trad with a Twist”, a dark boudoir with a provocative edge by Jessie D. Miller Design.

It’s my weekly mantra. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it certainly helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Gwynne St Studio, a warehouse conversion by Biasol. I’d go just for the bathroom!

It’s another case of stalking déjà vu. Architecturally designed homes we have featured previously on the blog seem to be hitting the market. Today I’m stalking this Brunswick East house by Melbourne-based architectural studio Multiplicity. If I remember correctly I was quite taken by the storage system in the kitchen. (You can see it in its architect’s portfolio life here.) Now it’s even more fabulous with its “styling for sale” by inside story, the latest collaboration between Lynda Gardener and Belle Hemming. Love, love, love the Grant Featherstone Numero modular chairs in the lounge area. I’m biased though because I have the same ones. Link for this wonderful heritage cottage and its ultra-modern extension here while it lasts.

On Sunday I featured some work by NAP from Poland. They also sent along photos of their architect’s showroom and workspace and I am absolutely blown away buy this space. Dark colours, a mix of vintage and modern, original architecture (original window joinery, doors, jambs, wooden floors and layout of the rooms were preserved in the renovation)…it’s a style I always gravitate towards. NAP decided to paint the wood floors and stairs dark, and this led to shades of grey, graphite and peach used throughout. All furnishings and accessories are available through their store – a mix of Vitra, DCW Editions, Gubi, Carl Hansen, Tom Dixon with EMU, Fatboy and Fermob in the garden space.

Two floors of sophisticated, urban living with a limited colour palette dictated by the industrial materials used throughout. Concrete, steel and glass warmed by rich, dark wood and leather. Unexpected touches of gold, mirror and antique pieces give a luxurious, almost deco feel to this industrial inner city home. South Yarra Apartment by Melbourne-based design studio Workroom.
