Villa Cali

Posted on Thu, 5 Jan 2023 by KiM

 “To the studs” renovation of an iconic 1971 New Formalist home on a half-acre waterfront lot in Preston Hollow (Dallas, Texas).  This home remained in mostly original condition, allowing for a blank canvas of well-preserved details and room for imagination. We paid careful attention to the original architect’s design intent, as well as studied photographs of the home from the 1970s to understand how the home was decorated and functioned in its early years.  Our goal was to preserve key design elements while making the home functional for today. Our design solution is a Maximalist interior design full of patterns, textures, a mixture of glossy and matte finishes, and big impact statements.  Inspired by Hollywood and Palm Springs glamour and destinations around the globe, the spaces are curated with heirloom pieces, Maestri originals, and beautiful objects and original art to make the spaces feel as personal as possible.
This is EXACTLY what this home called for. Nothing too serious, graphic and playful. Designed by Maestri Studio. (Photos: Nathan Schroeder; Styling: Jenny O’Connor)

Modernizing a period home

Posted on Fri, 16 Dec 2022 by KiM

Hewitt Road. Our design for this victorian property enhances the period features and brings it bang up to date for modern life. Play, Unwind, Entertain – A family home to thrive in. A refined palette brings a touch of Parisienne chic to this London family home, contrasting industrial elements with our own touch of decorative minimalism.
2LG Studio (Jordan Cluroe and Russell Whitehead) are at it again with eye popping, unique colour schemes and continue to bring some modern vitality to London homes.

A whimsical home in Poland

I adore this home in Warsaw, Poland designed by Colombe Studio. The fun, vibrant colours and the curvy trim detail repeated throughout – that big glorious mirror, doors, kitchen cabinetry and doorways. The result is unique and whimsical. (Photos: Depasquale+Maffini)

Bold shapes and colours in a Vancouver home

Posted on Fri, 2 Dec 2022 by KiM

Taking a home that is devoid of personality, colour and texture, and breathing new life into its walls is something that brings us unending joy. Nestled in Vancouver’s British Properties, the exterior of this stunning modernist-style home didn’t match its bland interior. The extensive 12-month renovation saw the home take on a new and exciting persona. The clients had asked us to be bold, experimental and create something not easily reproducible. Inspired by the bungalow-style homes of the Hollywood Hills, we took a page from days gone by and married a more modern aesthetic with one that felt classic and with real history. Our homes should reflect what we want to see in the world, and for this homeowner that meant boldness, colour and warmth. The furniture and decor were curated and sourced globally, with cutting-edge design paired with seamlessly with antique pieces.
Another project by PlaidFox Studio, this one is more modern and what they’re known for, whilst oozing with creativity and personality. I am obsessed with Montreal’s Lambert & Fils lighting and the Parc collection lights over the kitchen island look incredible. (Photos: Ema Peter)
