“This Federation Arts and Crafts home was full of charm from a bygone era. Soaring ornate ceilings, leadlight windows and a beautiful enclosed veranda were just some of the period features that would need to marry with the new iteration of the home. So, taking our cue from the arts and craft ethos, layers of colour, materiality and fine craftsmanship were carried through to bond the old and contemporary architecture, ensuring the new rooms had a current generation of detailing.”

If it’s a layer cake then it’s a great big citrusy one. I never knew I’d like orange so much. Layer Cake by Sydney-based Arent & Pyke.

I’ll let the designer describe the approach to this fabulous Beverly Hills home.

“For this archetypal 1920s Spanish-style house in Beverly Hills, we conjured a relaxed, youthful atmosphere in opposition to the formality of many nearby homes. Painting the living room’s beamed ceiling white significantly altered the space’s complexion, providing a luminous backdrop for texture-rich furnishings. A low-slung yellow velvet Mario Bellini sofa sits on a Moroccan carpet laid wall to wall, while a built-in banquette boasts multicolored Majorcan ikats. The kitchen’s wallpaper is by artist Alviro Barrington — part of a collection of contemporary art with works by Laura Owens, Tracey Emin, Richard Prince, and Josh Smith. The result: an unpretentious environment in sync with the rhythms and rituals of contemporary life.”

Light-filled, colourful and downright fun. Beverly by Billy Cotton.

“Briefed to capture the spirit of India and house treasures from faraway lands, our studio has transformed this federation home into an exuberant space that celebrates inventive colour and fabric combinations, with clever antique finds and smart artworks”

Bold colour, beautiful original architectural details (the leaded windows are to die for) and a carefully curated mix of old and new breathe new life into the old house. Lang Road by Alexandra Kidd Design.

“Micro-architecture & play on patterns/materials … Archetypal forms underline how a modern family uses the space, while respecting its Haussmannian architecture. Monolithic settings made from noble materials are complemented by furniture specially designed for the space, such as the monumental dining table of 3.5m created for the rotunda of the dining room. Or, in the master suite, where the graphic wardrobe made of wood marquetry counterbalances the bed, like a pictorial work in a vast room.”

In other words a play on volume and space, new and oversized within a traditional Parisian apartment.  The historical shell remains while modern living spaces are delineated with colour and material blocking as well as simplified geometric repeats. R.O.F flat by Paris-based creative studio Pool.
