The designers knew they had a gem in the rough. The apartment in a functionalist building was derelict but as they stripped it back they discovered a ribbed ceiling and massive concrete columns. Reconfiguring the layout the main public area is an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area that embraces its industrial elements while softening them ever so slightly for family living.

A slice of blue rises through this Slovakian home’s open-plan living, dining and kitchen. Grounded by a concrete plinth containing a fireplace and storage the steel stairs lead to a sleeping loft. Steel posts and beams continue the colour accent while blue doors lead the eye out to the view. Contemporary living with references to a more rustic past with exposed timber ceiling and painted brick. Atelier režiséra Strekov by Bratislava-based Benko Benkova.

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 just like Romanek Design Studio‘s own workspace.

Huge thanks to Adam for sending us the link to this incredible listing!
This stunning French Empire majestic home was built in 1876 and was formerly known as the Sheilds Residence and one of Toronto’s oldest homes. It was recently restored & renovated and has 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 11 ft ceilings and is over 5,000 sq ft. The attention to detail in every square inch and the colours and patterns are impeccable. I am in love. This could all be yours for a mere $4.725M 🙂 (Also kudos to SilverHouse for fab listing pics)

“Located within an early Merchant Builders development, think earthy textures, 70s sensibility and a magical green oasis.”

This sympathetic reworking of a classic Aussie 70s house by Melbourne-based Studio Wonder is modern yet retro, full of colour and texture. Love the original wooden raked ceiling, the polished concrete floors and the standout art.
