“As soon as you walk into this home you feel at ease. Every surface tells a subtle story and goes beyond the norm of a traditional home. The warmth of the exposed brick, Blackbutt timber joinery, textured rendered walls and the array of handmade tiles makes the home feel heavily considered and undoubtedly harmonious. We drew inspiration from Spanish villas and farmhouses; the raw materiality, the minimalistic nature of them and the saturation of texture and fluidity of indoor/outdoor living.”

We kept the footprint of this house in Brooklyn’s Manhattan Beach neighborhood but otherwise reimagined it from the ground up.  Our clients loved French design, but a step closer to home felt better to us, and in the end we settled on drawing our inspiration from the French Quarter (of New Orleans) instead. Beautiful recurring arches, thick walls and moldings, a calming color palette, and the best possible use of the relatively narrow space made a cozy welcoming home for our clients, a family of four.  The widest room, at the end of the house overlooking the pool, is the one everyone seems to gravitate to anyway; the kitchen.  In this case it includes a cushy generous sectional sofa so everyone can gather while dinner is being prepared.

I regularly dream about having a kitchen big enough for lounging on a sofa. I’d actually settle for my husband and I being able to cook meals together but you have to dream big right? The millwork in this house is incredible and I suggest taking a close look at it as you scroll through. By Jessica Helgerson Interior Design. Photos: Aaron Leitz

I bow down to Heidi Caillier once again. The queen of moody, vintage vibin’, colourful but in the dreamist way spaces that only she can nail this well each and every time. I am constantly on the fence about what my favourite style is but maybe I should just start saying “the Heidi way”. This San Francisco pied-à-terre is perfection. Photos: Haris Kenjar

“A property becomes a destination when it speaks to the culture of a particular moment; it comes to life when filled with an audience that gets it.”

Oh I get it. I get it. Chic beach living in Montauk is a dream that can come true. You can actually rent this getaway. I’ll just daydream it’s mine all mine. Edison Bungalow by Studio Robert McKinley.

We have always been committed to creating interiors which have longevity, and this is best illustrated in our most recent project, a Grade II five-bedroom listed house in Primrose Hill – where we got to work once again with previous clients. We were tasked with reusing furniture from their smaller property however, we were at pains to ensure that whilst reusing the furniture we didn’t want to make it feel like the same interior transplanted into a different, albeit a bigger building. What quickly became apparent and evolved was the scheme thrived on contrast – masculine touches were set against feminine curvaceous furnishings, and we were able to create friction throughout whilst highlighting the individuality and integrity of each of the pieces in it.

Another wonderful home designed by Maddux Creative where the colour combinations are as unique as the furniture and the eclectic tones are winning me over. Photos: Michael Sinclair
