A tranquil townhouse

Posted on Wed, 1 Feb 2023 by midcenturyjo

“A gut renovation and enlargement of a 2 story + garden level 1899 brick townhouse. The project features a new cast-in-place concrete frame extension off the rear, interlocked with the original building. The existing rear brick window openings are enlarged on every floor, creating a generous and fluid series of passageways between the existing rooms and the new extension. A new top floor primary suite is clad in corrugated + perforated Cor-ten siding. The extension includes Douglas Fir structural beams and clerestory windows, providing ample light into the rear spaces from 3 directions. New configurations and finishes throughout include heavy flake oak cabinetry, diamond veneer plaster walls, custom harlequin cement bath tile, and heart pine floors.”

Small but perfectly formed

“This pied-à-terre in a 1920s building in Marylebone was replete with period details. The two-bedroom apartment is the London residence of a Los Angles based couple who wanted an elegant canvas to display their growing contemporary art collection. The residence had incredible features to work with which provided the scheme with a sense of timelessness and character, such as original mouldings and parquet flooring. We felt it was important to blur the line between being able to tell if something was original or new which allowed us to push boundaries and flex our artistic ideas.”

Kitchen love

Posted on Mon, 30 Jan 2023 by midcenturyjo

“Conceptually we wanted to keep the space free from ‘visual stress’ and we embarked on a journey to use materiality and tactility to create unique detailing which is not always noticed at first but can often be felt before it is seen. The kitchen is a beautiful example of this with the marble ‘live edge’ shelving, handmade walnut handles and brass details in the breakfast bar. The coffee station further removes clutter by hiding most of the kitchen equipment.”

Sophisticated by the sea

Posted on Mon, 30 Jan 2023 by midcenturyjo

“Ocean views and coastal landscapes inspired a palette of cooler tones, paired with warm flecks in golden-veined stone on the ground floor of a two-storey penthouse. Enhanced by the texture and tactility of materials, such as expressed wood-grained joinery and fluted oak. Upstairs to the master suite, the palette transforms into a moody and masculine interior with deeper tones and richer materials, a more intimate space predominantly occupied at night time. The end result, a space of coastal elegance, classical, yet contemporary.”

Earthy eclectic

Posted on Thu, 26 Jan 2023 by midcenturyjo

“Hidden in the canyon of Irvine, California, this 10,000 square foot home is full of Spanish influences. With architectural foundations like beautiful archways and organic characteristics, our team brought a vision to life that is uniquely exquisite. As a result, you’ll see high ceilings, geometric shapes, plaster throughout, and luxury goods for an eloquent look. With an intentional design approach that is functional and aristocratic, our design encompasses natural light and a trendy color palette.”
