Pretty in (pastel) pink

Posted on Thu, 22 Feb 2024 by midcenturyjo

“‘A fresh house with an international, fun and inspiring spirit’ were the premises of the clients, a young Mexican couple determined to live for a long time in Madrid. The combination of bricks, arches and fantasy created an atypical and surprising space, where a pink kitchen with a blue a ceiling reflects the explosion of color and imagination intended.

The apartment has 140m2 distributed in 3 bedrooms: the master bedroom with an integrated bathroom, a bathroom for the other 2 bedrooms and guests, and a living room with an open kitchen. The design’s connecting thread is a flat limestone brick with double circle, a brutalist element that was used for the kitchen’s bar that joins the kitchen and living room, the shelves behind the sofa and a wall in the master bedroom that divides the bedroom from the bathroom. 

Overall the mix of materials, the arched passageways between the rooms and the Orac Decor moldings give the apartment eccentric touches creating a bold and fun atmosphere.”

As white as snow

Posted on Tue, 20 Feb 2024 by midcenturyjo

You’d be forgiven for thinking this Spanish home was a getaway by the beach. The white on white and pale timbers, the cane and linen. But no it’s in the Spanish town of Becerril de la Sierra in the Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range an area more acquainted with snow than sand. And the house? Think earthy yet sophisticated, natural yet refined, timeless, bright and calm. Vivienda en Becerril de la Sierra by Helena Martin.

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.
