Designer’s own

Posted on Thu, 7 Sep 2023 by midcenturyjo

I love a glimpse into a designer’s own home especially when they take the chance to think outside the box. Tali Roth‘s exuberant and eclectic style shines through in her Melbourne home. Colour, design classics and her own pieces create a fabulous and fun family home. “Textural, layered & useful spaces full of bold forms and patinas you can literally lean in and touch.”

Casa Rubens

Posted on Wed, 6 Sep 2023 by KiM

Comprehensive rehabilitation of a single-storey house located at the foot of Monte Abantos, in San Lorenzo del Escorial. Conceived as a weekend home for a young couple from Madrid with two children, it takes the summer homes of Cadaqués from the 1950s as a reference. The premise was to create a warm and welcoming home, where in addition to recreating a subtle idea of what we understand as the Mediterranean, color was the other protagonist. Color as the guiding thread of a house that is designed to host friends and artistic presentations on a regular basis. The new distribution divides the volume in two, giving rise to a double-height unitary space that houses the living room-dining room-kitchen, and a study on the mezzanine that is accessed through a sculptural spiral staircase. The other half of the volume houses three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a small double-height distributor that allows direct interaction with the mezzanine and its natural lighting.

A riverside renovation

Posted on Tue, 5 Sep 2023 by midcenturyjo

This riverside home on the outskirts of London underwent a meticulous renovation, striking a balance between urban and rural living. The restoration respected the building’s historical charm while adapting it for a young family’s weekend escape. A light-filled orangery extension now functions as a serene living space with garden and river views. The house features a library and an Art Deco-style bar in previously awkward spaces. Glazed ceramic floor tiles play with light, while a rich colour palette sets unique moods in each room. The garden connects harmoniously with the river, offering terraced lawns, a boat jetty, an outdoor kitchen, and a scenic pergola for dining and relaxation. The Riverside House by Nicola Harding.

A jewel box of a London pied-à-terre

Posted on Mon, 4 Sep 2023 by KiM

This London pied-à-terre is an absolute gem, full of whimsy and colour just all around good vibes. There’s an elegance to this home while at the same time a playfulness. For example, the kitchen includes a hand-painted meadow mural on the tiles. There’s modern pieces mixed with antiques, with backdrops of deGournay wallpapers and yellow curtains and marble marquetry floors that all add so much drama and interest. Designed by Studio Ashby.

Grand Plan

Posted on Fri, 1 Sep 2023 by midcenturyjo

The house exudes an artisanal, textured allure echoing the wild, relaxed beauty of central Provence. Paris-based designer Diego Delgado-Elias has transformed the centuries-old home by employing rough plaster walls, woven raffia and a mix of rustic antiques and contemporary designs. The colour palette is earthy, the feel artisan. Grand plan by Diego Delgado-Elias.
