This full gut renovation in Dallas celebrates the original build while accommodating the needs of contemporary living. With its confident use of colour and an emphasis on deco details, the design draws on its Art Deco roots. Clean lines, period pieces, light pouring in through metal framed windows. It all adds up to a fabulous blend of past and present. Beverly Drive, Highland Park by Avery Cox Design.

“G&D were captivated by the architectural charm of their Lisbon apartment, featuring intricate Pombaline style and 19th-century details like ornate ceilings and moldings. Although it required substantial renovation, G&D embraced the opportunity to preserve and restore its historical elements, aligning with their philosophical approach.

This home showcases a fusion of contemporary art, vintage pieces, and their distinctive sculptural furniture designs, particularly featuring ceramics. Collaborating with Portuguese potter Lígia Guedes, their innovative ceramic pieces extend beyond conventional boundaries.

In their woodwork, G&D playfully incorporate local wood species into seating and wall panels, embracing a unique approach. G&D practice also emphasizes collaboration with international talents, who work alongside Portuguese artisans and employ local materials to create special editions available for purchase.

For example, New York-based Korean artist Minjae Kim utilized local pine for their dining chairs, while British designer Charlotte Taylor crafted their daybed from the same timber. Parisian Garance Vallée collaborated with Lígia Guedes to produce their distinctive bedside lamp.”

Seems a little far-fetched to take a traditional Georgian home, in Kansas City, and inject tropical and Oriental style, including many wallpapers and colours and patterned textiles in abundance, and have it look incredible. But Stephanie Woodmansee of Connecticut-based Henry & Co Design created magic in this home and there is so much to take in. Layer upon layer of fabulous decor. And that sunroom…*swoon*.

When a house that has been a hodgepodge of styles and rooms for many years meets a designer like David Lucido magic happens. Things were rationalised, removed, replaced but always with a respect for the buildings original features. The result is a calm oasis in the hustle of LA, sophisticated yet relaxed.
