“Originating from two separate, neighbouring terrace homes dating back to 1865, and now, merged as one, West Block, is a perennial, light-filled home. Inspired by the clients love and patronage of the arts, West Block sought to fuse a lyricism of historical romance and complexities, with a contemporary vernacular that was more avant-garde. Due to its original state of two separate, narrow residences, the project intervened with its labyrinth-like layout and consolidated and streamlined the ergonomics of the space, whilst still maintaining intimacies throughout the plan.”

It’s all about the curve

“A simple curving wall was employed to unify previously awkward and poorly defined spaces by wrapping and distinguishing the living, kitchen and dining rooms. The wall is present in every room, yet never visible in its entirety. This element contrasts the smaller, more intimate dining and kitchen nooks and provides a fluid backdrop to the main living areas, whilst concealing valuable storage space.”

“There is a common thread in our work – clean lines, chic materiality and details, a mix of vintage and modern sourcing — but the end result is always unique.”

Have you ever fallen head over heels for a room that you have only seen in a couple of pictures? I have. I’m smitten by this dark and sexy living room. Stylish and brooding. Luxe and enveloping. The rest of the house is gorgeous too. Westport by Monica Fried Design.

Seriously

Seriously sexy. Seriously serene. What? Sexy and serene? You can have both you know and this house by Houston-based Wimmel DC is the perfect example. Layers of texture, natural materials, the luxury of bespoke fittings and rooms light filled at times and smudgy and cocooning at others.
