Perched on the Mornington Peninsula, this farmhouse renovation seamlessly integrates bushland and sea vistas, crafting a serene horse hobby farm away from the city bustle. Inspired by its Australian rural surroundings the design palette echoes nature’s hues with eucalyptus greens and ocean blues. Collaborating with local artisans, bespoke elements like kitchen plates and handcrafted balustrades adorn the space. The design has balanced the modern with the heritage, incorporating textured renders and reclaimed French beams for character while personal touches fill every corner.

Situated within a 19th-century apartment building along Barcelona’s iconic Paseo San Juan, this project by YLAB Architects involved the revitalization of a modernist residence. The owners, an Australian couple in love with Barcelona, wanted to renovate the property to establish their European residence. The dilapidated flat was transformed into a comfortable space where they could host visits from family and friends.

Balancing contemporary comforts within a historically significant setting, the preservation of key features like the Nolla mosaic flooring and ceilings was paramount. The space was reconfigured into social and private areas flanking the entrance hall, each tailored to the owners’ needs. Drawing inspiration from the mosaic’s vibrant hues, Bauwerk lime paints and bespoke furniture complement the flooring. At the same time, a connecting element, made up of baseboards and interior and exterior carpentry in a very dark brown colour, runs through the space from one end to the other. This element penetrates and envelops the smaller interior rooms, which, combined with sophisticated artificial lighting and reflective materials, are transformed into powerful and luminous spaces. The outcome is a fusion of preservation and modern elegance, resulting in a home that is a serene and refined retreat.

The apartment has a clock chip in a partial enfilade and is located in the attic of a tenement house dating back to 1905. A marble fireplace constitutes the central part of the interior. A hand-painted ceiling refers to the Dutch painting. The walls are covered with wooden panels. Single herringbone pattern of the wooden floor is painted in white. The apartment is furnished with originally designed furniture and furniture systems which are tailor-made according to a design. (Some of this might not be translating correctly from Polish)
This project by Polish architect and colour designer Karolina Rochman-Drohomirecka is titled “Red Stove” but I think it really needs to be “Red Stove and Yellow Walls”. The graphic trim in the kitchen with the fun red stove, the lemon yellow central area with the gorgeous painted floral design on the black ceiling are really making a statement. Though I will admit I am 100% not on board with the white painted herringbone wood floor (whyyyyyyyyy?????).

The power of beauty and the feeling of home is deeply consequential to the way we live, affecting our emotional, spiritual, & physical selves.” Interiors are highly personalized, a marriage of the client’s individuality and the studio’s eye for detail none more so than their stylish Chelsea project.

This full gut renovation in Dallas celebrates the original build while accommodating the needs of contemporary living. With its confident use of colour and an emphasis on deco details, the design draws on its Art Deco roots. Clean lines, period pieces, light pouring in through metal framed windows. It all adds up to a fabulous blend of past and present. Beverly Drive, Highland Park by Avery Cox Design.
