Church Loft

Posted on Tue, 28 May 2024 by midcenturyjo

Nestled in an urban landscape, the Church Loft by Toronto-based NIVEK REMAS is a distinctive home within a repurposed historic church. It blends historic charm with modern comforts featuring a neutral palette that highlights wooden beams and a matte black four-story staircase. Open-concept living areas foster a spacious, inviting atmosphere while original church details, like ornate light fixtures and a fresco, enhance the loft’s character. The primary suite combines minimalist wood cabinetry with sleek stone finishes creating a serene retreat.

Minimalism in pastels

“Inspiring, smart and beautifully tailored. We could be talking about the home we crafted or the gorgeous client it’s for. Lilac Linen encapsulates both the fresh seaside ambience of the Mornington Peninsula alongside the unique whims and contemporary living patterns of the young family who live within it … This home expresses itself in tactile layers and a level of restraint that allows the curation of dusky colours, noble materials and beautiful objects to sing in perfect harmony.”

Can minimalism be pretty? Sure can. Lilac Linen by Melbourne-based interior atelier Sally Caroline.

“Picture a young family of globetrotters who recently settled in the land of bikes and canals, seeking a home that’s both timeless and fun. This nomadic family of four wanted to revel in vibrant colours and playful spaces that spark joy and curiosity. From kicking back in the music room – records playing – to entertaining their tribe, this was the perfect place to lay down some memories. As usual, we gathered from a global black-book of both new and vintage gems, including unique finds from local Dutch artisans, to create an atmosphere that’s truly one of a kind.”

From layers of neutral textures, pops of colour and carefully collated furniture details emerges a fun, fresh family home in Amsterdam. Dutch Quarter by Melbourne-based Sally Caroline.

As much as I love colour and pattern, the soothing vibes of a totally neutral home like this Edwardian 6 bedroom house in rural Sussex also tugs at my heartstrings. I also thought I was completely over the lime washed walls craze but it’s soooo perfect in this home these folks get a pass. Available as a location home via Shoot Factory.

Pretty in pink

Jillian Dinkel Interior Design revamped the interiors of a beautifully preserved Victorian Italianate terrace house for a professional couple and their children … and it’s all the clients’ love of pink. The designers prioritized preserving the interior architecture while integrating modern joinery and conveniences. The Woollahra terrace, built in 1891, offered a rare experience of stepping into a century-old home with well-preserved grand architectural elements. Named Tarella, its ornate cornices, stone fireplaces, and spacious front rooms provided a luxurious canvas for the design. The formal floor plan includes a sitting room, library and a generous primary suite with a walk-in wardrobe. A powder room with Memphis-inspired burgundy cabinetry was added on the entry level, mirroring the laundry and family bathroom design. Marble and bronze touches throughout create a sophisticated, textured look.
