“Together with our talented clients James Chinlund and Clare Crespo we transformed a 1950s era home in the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles into a dynamic and warm living space suited to the way the family spends time together and entertains. By capturing an under-utilized second story balcony we created built-in seating with breathtaking views of the hills and a connection between the kitchen and living spaces.”

Inviting spaces with a certain glow from wood and wide windows. A touch of Japanese and respect for the house’s mid-century roots. This home renovation is by Los Angeles-based Lovers Unite, an architecture and design studio creating one-of-a-kind homes.

A new chapter

Posted on Wed, 15 Jan 2025 by midcenturyjo

In 1985, a historic Redfern warehouse built in 1903 as McMurties Shoe Factory underwent one of Sydney’s first warehouse-to-apartment transformations. Today, Studio Noakes has worked their magic refurbishing one of the apartments. The building’s heritage shines through high ceilings, hardwood columns and exposed rafters. The studio carefully restored and enhanced these industrial features, seamlessly blending history with a contemporary aesthetic. Bold colours, expansive forms and textured spaces highlight the client’s dynamic art collection, showcasing works from local talents. Fusing natural, vintage and iconic pieces has created a vibrant harmony in this young artist’s home. The result is a space that balances historical character with creative energy, reflecting the vibrancy of its inner-city surroundings.

Vaughan Design & Development recently took on the interior design for a spacious six-bedroom family home in Harpenden in Hertfordshire, England. As a new build, the goal was to add warmth, character and functionality to accommodate the clients’ busy lives with young children. Advocates of colour and playful design, Vaughan also needed practical features like a first-floor laundry, boot room, large playroom and luxurious adult spaces. The studio blended natural materials with layered details, traditional fittings and vibrant elements creating a bright, joyful home tailored to the family’s needs.
