Fostering connections

Posted on Mon, 11 Mar 2024 by midcenturyjo

In Sydney’s lower north shore, Hearth House by Arent & Pyke reinvigorates a Federation-style residence, fostering connections through its redesign. The sunken lounge, once a garage, now serves as the heart of the home, linking formal rooms and a rear extension. Various stone selections unify the space with expressive curves and angular planes, creating a softly luminous sanctuary. Architect Luigi Rosselli introduces structural alterations to maximize natural lighting. Removal of the narrow staircase enhances the flow, while olive-shaded leather handrails and custom runners add tactile richness. Fluted travertine tiles adorn the fireplace, linking spaces upstairs. Warmth and interaction are encouraged through immersive colors and textures, echoing throughout the house. Sharp granite and travertine planes in the kitchen are softened by stained timber joinery. Birch-hued wool upholstery wraps the lounge, inviting comfort, while terracotta tones add warmth.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Offices at Serrano by Patricia Bustos Studio.

Colourful cottagecore in a Michigan home

Posted on Fri, 23 Feb 2024 by KiM

This new-build home in Harbor Springs, Michigan is about as pretty as can be, and very feminine. With a backdrop of mostly white shiplap, each space is accented with colour and pattern in a super fun and maximalist way. Cottagecore and vintage auntie vibes with a bit of coastal thrown into the mix. I’d be smiling ear to ear walking through this home.
