Perhaps the most remarkable thing about the ‘Joyous Home’ project is the choice of a colour palette. Because in this renovation project colour is the protagonist. Our interest has focused on breathing new life into this property included on the protected heritage building list of the town. The original house, designed very early in the 20th century, is the result of the introduction of Modernisme… Few alterations had been made to the original house. Perhaps the most significant is the loss of the original kitchen facilities. In response, we have designed the room with a simple but expressive approach, which dialogues naturally with the originality of the house and at the same time it is functional from current demands. The original cupboard has been rescued, lacquered in red, in front of the new pine structure that supports the minimal elements of the kitchen.
This home in Castro Urdiales, Spain is SOOOO much fun, and I adore the bold colour choices that come together in really unique ways that adds a ton of interest. By Cristina Acha & Miguel Zaballa of Acha Zabella Arquitectos; photos: Luis Díaz Díaz

White Pine House

Posted on Wed, 14 Jun 2023 by KiM

This deep and deliciously renovated home was transformed from modern farmhouse to something more timeless (and darker colours yessssss) and required the reuse of some pretty sweet existing pieces the owner already had. I adore how moody and not-so-trendy this home is, and I’m feeling the sort of old world gentlemen’s club elements. Anything beats modern farmhouse, amiright?

An exuberant North Carolina home

Posted on Tue, 6 Jun 2023 by KiM

Located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, the home was inspired by a playful, comfortable take on Colonial simplicity. Highlights include multiple handmade wallpapers, including a textured recycled newsprint in the main stair hall. Lots of bright light, some patterns and hits of colour, with the addition of some vintage elements makes this home exuberant and effortlessly casual and inviting. Another wonderful project designed by Jessica Stambaugh of JS Interiors.

A sun-drenched Miami garden house

Posted on Mon, 5 Jun 2023 by midcenturyjo

“Sun-drenched Miami inspires a tropical theme. This home lives in one of the world’s most vivid cities. Its landscape comprises lush, languorous palms; coconut groves; vibrant red-orange firebush flowers; coral limestone; golden sands; azure skies and sapphire ocean. Textural natural materials, such as copper and unfilled limestone, are juxtaposed for visual interest. While the contrast is felt, the effect is subtle. A collection of contemporary art by artists with ties to Miami brings a contrasting vibrant energy to the historic architecture.”

Richly layered, deeply expressive. Glamorous, immersive, desirable. A Garden House by London and Miami-based architect and designer Natalia Miyar.
