Lavaca House, renovated by Lake Flato Architects, transforms an 1870s caliche block home in San Antonio’s historic Lavaca district into a vibrant, modern retreat. The design preserves the original stone structure while introducing contemporary elements that reflect the personality of the homeowner, an artist and collector. Art-filled interiors celebrate local talent, with each room offering surprise and charm. The home balances historic character with modern living, creating an adaptable, light-filled sanctuary deeply connected to its urban and cultural context.

An artful Upper East Side townhouse

Posted on Tue, 15 Apr 2025 by midcenturyjo

On the Upper East Side, Australian interior designer Greg Natale’s New York townhouse reflects the city’s vibrant spirit and its owner’s global influences. Once a mixed-use building, it now blends Italian craftsmanship and Parisian flair. Natale reinstated the original two-door entrance and infused the interiors with bold marble, vintage finds, and bespoke details like the floral chandelier by Crizu. Inspired by a pink and green palette, the layered design celebrates art, culture, and creativity, with the ground floor serving as a dedicated art school.

Rosherville House is a thoughtful reworking by Kennedy Nolan of a solid 1980s brick and tile home set on a sandstone outcrop in Sydney’s north. The house’s size suited the client, so the focus was on reorganising the interior for better flow, privacy, and garden connection, improving energy performance, and reimagining the material palette. Embracing the home’s original character, subtle yet precise interventions transformed bland, fragmented interiors into a rich, cohesive environment of natural textures, improved zoning, and a strong connection between indoors and out.

The redesign of this Montreal pied-à-terre by LES ENSEMBLIERS reimagines a two bedroom apartment into a seamless one-bedroom living space. A significant custom closet optimizes storage, while the primary living area balances sleek hard surfaces with soft plaster walls, velvet and bouclé. Thoughtfully curated local accessories and curvaceous, low-profile furniture maintain unobstructed river views. A curved kitchen island and minimalist cabinetry enhance openness, blending elegance with architectural integrity.

Interior design firm Haldon House is based in Philadelphia and was founded by Autumn Oser and Andre Golsorkhi. Haldon House has cultivated a distinct aesthetic that defies simple definition, yet remains instantly recognizable. Known for masterfully balancing masculine and feminine elements, we design homes that are rich, soulful, and impossible to pin to a specific era – a testament to their enduring and sophisticated design ethos. Every project is approached in a thoughtful and personalized way to create an intentional design that evokes a mood and feels iconically timeless. Haldon House’s careful curation of unexpected materials and objects with artful touches puts the work in an eclectic category all its own. We achieve a timeless sophistication that defines our aesthetic. The end result is an environment that is warm, alluring, layered, and truly iconic.
Timeless sophistication this absolutely is – and I’d throw moody and classic in there as well. It’s as if these spaces have been there for years and will be there for years to come. I am completely obsessed with that deep red scullery and the dining banquette nook that looks like a corner in the cutest British pub. Photos: Jason Varney.
