Sophisticated rustic

Posted on Thu, 4 Nov 2021 by midcenturyjo

“Complete rehabilitation project of a house in the mythical town of Pedraza. Maintaining the amazing aesthetic of the place, a large staircase makes its presence at the entrance, becoming the main character of the house. From there, structural elements and rustic furniture, transform the rural house to a place with an industrial touch.”

Sophisticated living in a rustic shell. Gilt and linen, stone and velvet. Contemporary pieces sit with country antiques. The scene is set by Madrid-based Belén Ferrándiz for an elegant country town sojourn.

Volume within volume

What was once a maze of disconnected rooms with a false ceiling above is now a stunning celebration of a quintessential Haussmannian apartment with it’s wedding cake icing ceiling and cornices. Modern living is delineated by a series of shelving walls that stand independently creating volumes within the a volume. It’s the perfect way to have your cake and eat it too.

A cabin in the woods

Posted on Tue, 2 Nov 2021 by midcenturyjo

“This abandoned shed in the middle of 18 acres had endless charm and character. We worked with this rustic charm and remote wooded location and juxtaposed it with a clean minimal Scandinavian-inspired design for dramatic effect.”

It’s all about contrast in this gut renovation of a cabin in the woods by Stewart-Schafer, contrast of wild forest and clean, minimalist interiors, of rustic versus modern living, dark versus light. It’s also about unity, of the Douglas fir used inside mirroring the surrounding firs, of a wall of windows bringing inside and out together. I’d happily get lost in the woods if I knew I would stumbled across this charming cabin.

A designer’s pared-back home

Pared-back, carefully curated and immediately welcoming. The restrained colour palette is elevated by the layering of texture and natural materials. Timeless, elegant, comfortable. Mandeville Canyon by Caroline Irvin Davis.

A polished Polish apartment

Vintage meets contemporary, saturated colour meets bright white. Think orange and mustard and avocado hues as well as Tobia Scarpa and Mario Bellini. You could be in the 1960s or 70s. A masterful mix in this renovated Warsaw apartment by Paradowski Studio.
