The power of original architecture

Posted on Thu, 28 Mar 2024 by KiM

Vanguard Flower – A 90 square meters apartment in a tenement house dating back to the beginning of the 20th century located near the beach. Renovation works involved a complete reconstruction along with the restoration of the original window woodwork in order to restore the ambiance of a pre-war interior. Beautiful patterns from Pierre Frey and Braquenié collections are exposed in all of the rooms. The bedroom doors are decorated with a Ralph Lauren wallpaper. Furniture is upholstered and wooden furniture systems are tailor-made according to the original design.
The architectural details of this home are absolutely stunning!!! Hooray again to Karolina Rochman-Drohomirecka for honouring the original details in this home and ensuring they were maintained and for playing off of the rounded shapes in most of the apartment to really make them a focal point.

The Net Loft of Trevone Bay

Posted on Thu, 14 Mar 2024 by KiM

The Net Loft of Trevone Bay, Cornwall, is an imagined sea captain’s home and our latest turnkey project. The building has a rich history as a former Net Loft, where local fishermen would mend their nets and store lobster pots. The interior design aims to narrate the story of this place and mirror the picturesque Cornish landscape surrounding it. Available to guests as part of Atlanta Trevone Bay.
Well if isn’t the freaking cutest little vacation spot you ever did see! I adore all of the different materials used throughout this home, and LOVE the idea of a tile “baseboard”. Designed by HÁM Interiors.

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.
