Respect to all those designers out there who appreciate original architectural details and attempt to maintain the history of a home. Such as San Francisco firm Landed Interiors & Homes. The renovation of this classic 1936 home included a reimagining of a cluster of small rooms that were no longer functional. We opened up the kitchen to the dining room and backyard, utilizing a view from the front of the house extending to the back yard and reconfigured the connection to the ground level, addressing the floor plan of bedrooms and bathrooms on both levels. The transformation has an incredible feeling of openness that wasn’t there before. We were careful of the original architectural details, installing new windows and doors that matched the old style, repeating arches in the openings, and keeping original trim where possible. The original vaulted living room was enhanced with updated furnishings from different eras to reflect the client’s eclectic taste, from contemporary to mid-century to antique pieces. Our choices for both furniture and interior finishes were motivated by the vintage Storybook architecture, which is British-influenced and calls for classic materials that are of solid quality.

“With iconic Sydney Harbour as it’s backdrop and flooded with natural light the brief for Wolseley was to inject high Parisian style and design into a suburban setting. This involved the complete transformation and refurbishment of an existing three story semi-detached townhouse through considered custom detailing and materiality. The home retains a strong connection to the external environment and is accentuated by bold strokes of drama and ethereal forms.”

This art-filled Georgian Revival home in Charlotte, North Carolina was designed to be family friendly and is so warm, comfortable and casual. Style was not compromised here, and I am particularly smitten with the simple, Parisian café vibe of the kitchen. The home has a subtle beachy, Caribbean vibe. By interior designer Barrie Benson.

Clean modern lines play against almost rustic exposed brick walls while an industrial vibe is balanced by natural materials in this contemporary family home. Indoors and out meet seamlessly while private spaces are soft and restful. Functional, cohesive and considered. Lot B Bridge House by Sydney-based interior design studio Lot 1.

I started the week with a Hamptons beach shack getaway by Marie-Christine Design. I’m going to finish it with another of her designs. What’s as iconic as a Hamptons vacation home? why a Soho loft of course! Lots of light flooding in through tall windows, white painted exposed brick and that dining room. Swoon!
