An inner-city terrace garden

Posted on Wed, 8 Nov 2023 by midcenturyjo

“A beautiful palette of hardwood timber, brick and stone provides the perfect backdrop for the vibrant planting in this inner city terrace garden. Central to the design is a Japanese inspired arbor which creates subtle privacy and separation between the main dwelling and the outbuilding.”

Tree Island

Posted on Fri, 27 Oct 2023 by midcenturyjo

Tree Island defies limitations, transforming its compact-sized house into a unique family home. Measuring just four and a half meters wide, the home cleverly rises against a neighbouring warehouse conversion, maximizing vertical space. A central, light-filled void connects living areas and hosts a thriving fig tree. A courtyard and rear garden offer tranquillity and practicality, while a hidden roof terrace provides a private retreat. This home ingeniously incorporates natural light, greenery, and expansive living spaces, turning constraints into design advantages. By Sydney-based Carter Williamson.

A walled garden in London

Posted on Mon, 9 Oct 2023 by midcenturyjo

In the heart of London’s Minet Estate Conservation Area, a Victorian maisonette underwent a transformative collaboration between Nimtim Architects and their clients, resulting in a harmonious oasis in the city. The owners wanted the home to feel open and connected but not cavernous. The upper floor boasts a master suite with bespoke features and garden-facing views. Nimtim ingeniously designed a discrete guest annexe with a separate entrance. Generous rear openings frame the secluded garden, maintaining the original stock-brick wall’s charm. Natural elements like Douglas fir and soft plaster create a timeless backdrop for the clients’ art and books. The garden, a lush haven, offers defined moments amid ornamental grasses and a wildlife pond, a serene retreat in the midst of urban life.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Salt Contemporary Art by Rebecca Jansma Interior Design.

The Farm at Avebury, Wiltshire

Posted on Fri, 6 Oct 2023 by KiM

An old stable block in the heart of a family run farm is transformed into a B&B. Situated on a working farm in Wiltshire in a unrivaled location nestled into the rolling hills sits The Farm at Avebury. Five hideaway stables of varying sizes offer guests a break from the outside world. From an interiors point of view we had a lot of fun with colour and pattern, wanting to offer visitors something they didn’t necessarily have at home.
The colourful yet calming vibes of these transformed spaces are exactly what I would want on a vacation to Wiltshire, as opposed to staying in a bland and unwelcoming hotel. Designed by Polly Ashman.
