Living simply with things you love in a house with the history of those who have gone before. The next generation custodian. That’s what and where I’d like to be. Harbor House in South Port, Connecticut by Billy Cotton.

This Clovelly home embodies simple, tactile, and understated beauty, fulfilling the clients’ desire for a functional yet meditative space for their growing family. The design embraces the concept of barefoot meandering, creating a world where beautiful design harmonizes with family life. Winding paths lead from the street to the front door, offering privacy without sacrificing openness to the natural surroundings. Courtyards, a double-height void, and strategic material choices like travertine, concrete, terracotta, render and timber contribute to a coastal ambiance, reminiscent of the client’s summer memories. The architecture prioritizes nature-filled experiences, drawing light and air into every space. Barefoot House by Sydney-based Madeleine Blanchfield Architects.

This Bend, Oregon residence, situated on a 10-acre site on the edge of a national forest, is a timeless home for a family of four. The single-story floor plan features distinct volumes, with private areas at one end and a central core connecting to a garage and workshop. Designed as a retreat, the house maximizes views of the mountains and forest. Natural materials, such as slate siding and warm cedar, blend seamlessly with the surroundings.

It has been several years since we featured the work of California designer Carla Lane (here and here) and she kindly reached out and shared a couple new projects with us. This one has definite Cali vibes along with organic and vintage elements that really add a coziness and vibrance to the home. I adore the wallpaper in the dining room and the bedroom sofa and ottoman.
