An artful Upper East Side townhouse

Posted on Tue, 15 Apr 2025 by midcenturyjo

On the Upper East Side, Australian interior designer Greg Natale’s New York townhouse reflects the city’s vibrant spirit and its owner’s global influences. Once a mixed-use building, it now blends Italian craftsmanship and Parisian flair. Natale reinstated the original two-door entrance and infused the interiors with bold marble, vintage finds, and bespoke details like the floral chandelier by Crizu. Inspired by a pink and green palette, the layered design celebrates art, culture, and creativity, with the ground floor serving as a dedicated art school.

“From art to spirituality, psychology to design, no realm is closed to exploration. In design, there is freedom in fluidity.”

Subtle historical nods merge with vibrant design elements, fostering engaging conversations and adaptable spaces. Balancing comfort and grandeur, the interiors offer a refined yet inviting atmosphere, seamlessly transporting you beyond the city while maintaining a sense of home.

This full gut renovation of a 2800 square foot existing loft apartment located in the heart of Soho offers a refuge of calm for the homeowners in contrast to the bustle of Soho just outside the front door. The design concept worked to achieve a tranquil respite through an encompassing interior that feels at once calm and cozy. A relatively minimal architectural expression achieves this serenity when paired with the lived-in and eclectic curation of furniture, lighting, and art. The warmth of white oak millwork, hand-finished limewash, and plaster wall treatments ensure the space feels approachable and unified. Vintage pieces were collected on trips to antique fairs, like Brimfield and Round Top and are paired with contemporary furniture and art, primarily from independent makers.

Art, space and materiality

Posted on Fri, 28 Mar 2025 by midcenturyjo

Designed by J.Kidman Architects with interiors by Golden and Studio Tali Roth, this Melbourne home is a quiet yet powerful expression of art and spatial refinement. Rooted in Belgian minimalism, an elemental colour story and tactile layering create a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. Sculptural furniture, curated artworks and striking materiality shape a living experience akin to encountering a great piece of art. A reimagined spatial plan prioritizes northern light with interconnected volumes framing outdoor spaces. The result is a residence that transcends trends, evoking timelessness, contemplation and an intimate dialogue between form, texture and function.
