A cottage renovation

“A nurse with a busy lifestyle wants more function in her early 1900s home without losing its character & charm.”

A neutral colour palette doesn’t necessarily mean bland. Layers of texture and natural materials add warmth and life. A sweet small home, a calming escape from a hectic work life. St. Kilda Aussie Cottage Reno by Studio Ezra.

A successful landing

Posted on Fri, 29 Sep 2023 by midcenturyjo

After six intense years in Manhattan, the owners asked interior and furniture designer Bateaumagne to transform this former artist’s studio hidden in a leafy courtyard in Paris’ 6th arrondissement. They created a spacious loft-style living area on the ground floor, preserving the studio’s artistic essence with modernist walnut woodwork. Upstairs, vibrant mid-century colours define the rooms, while Winkelmans tiles adorn the bathrooms. Their eclectic choices, like the Cameleonda sofa and Verner Panton chairs, resulted in a harmonious and artistic family-friendly space.

Brazilian and blue

Apartment BW by Renata Gaia Arquitetura (in collaboration with Vapor Arquitetura) transformed an apartment in the Paraíso region of São Paulo for a family of four. The living area boasts an open layout with a central shelving unit that defines spaces without restricting flow and features exposed concrete slabs and pillars, herringbone wood and marble floors. The design embraces calming colours throughout, with a vibrant blue entryway inspired by Frida Kahlo. The furniture showcases Brazilian design, providing both functionality and style, creating a youthful and personality-filled space that plays with unconventional textures, finishes, and colours.

This project is all about the seamless blending opposites. A classic building meets a bold, concrete addition, giving a fresh twist to regional architecture. Inside, it’s all about creating a relaxing vibe with natural materials and artisanal flair for that subtle touch of luxury. And in a fabulous position like this, the gardens were a top priority. Traditional yet modern, breaking down the barriers between indoor and outdoor through the retractable windows. A Mediterranean dream. Villa Frederica by Caprini & Pellerin.
