Jessica Helgerson and her family used to live in a tiny house on their land outside Portland, Oregon. Now they have spread out just a little. Their new home is a classic American farmhouse, a collaboration between Jessica and her architect husband Yianni Doulis. Simple, practical and beautiful, new with an old soul.

I love this house don’t get me wrong. Chic, comfortable, fabulous but I’d forgo it all, live in a half completed shell if I could just have that kitchen. S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G! Clover Leaf by Scarsdale, NY based Monica Fried Design.

“Traditional architectural details are blended with the contemporary to create a cohesive home for the modern family. WPD blended a neutral foundation with pops of color to enhance the home’s finishes and create depth. Beautiful fabrics mix well with slick metals and warm woods in this eclectic residence.”

Beautiful, functional and soooooo much storage in this stylish renovation. A fabulous family home by Indianapolis based Whittney Parkinson Design.

Great old bones but this Chicago house needed an injection of character when it came time to renovate. Carefully curated vintage finds, splashes of colour and an almost Parisian flair. Sophisticated and nuanced. Hyde Park House by Jen Talbot Design.

“An existing heritage building is transformed through the introduction of a modern, two-storey addition that playfully re-interprets the distinctive geometry of the original dwelling through a contemporary lens. Capturing abundant natural light and garden aspects, the new addition employs a refined and subtle palette of brick, steel and timber.”

Adding more space to a heritage home isn’t always about replicating the existing style. Sometimes it’s better to clearly delineate between old and new. This contemporary extension with its umbilical cord of glass and brick connecting it to the mother house shares similar materials such as brick while referencing the existing hips and gables in its form.
