“Louis Denavaut was asked to renovate and decorate a duplex owned by two artists. The apartment is located between the Tuileries garden and the Opéra Garnier, with a breathtaking view of the dome atop the Saint Roch church on rue Saint-Honoré.

The living room, flooded with light from a spectacular round window facing the Saint Roch church, has a 1970s Italian table and a custom-designed banquette made from panels of bleached oak with leather cushions.”

As if that wasn’t enough a white steel mezzanine with a glass floor perches above, the kitchen features an island made of veined Pele de Tigre marble and the bathroom is fully tiled in black zellige. I may be hideously jealous but I’m also incredibly inspired. Saint Roch by interior architect Louis Denavaut.

Monica Fried encore

You didn’t think I was going to let it go too long without plunging into the portfolio of  New York based design firm Monica Fried Design? With its clean lines, chic materiality and details, mix of vintage and modern this Scarsdale home is just about perfect.

“Originating from two separate, neighbouring terrace homes dating back to 1865, and now, merged as one, West Block, is a perennial, light-filled home. Inspired by the clients love and patronage of the arts, West Block sought to fuse a lyricism of historical romance and complexities, with a contemporary vernacular that was more avant-garde. Due to its original state of two separate, narrow residences, the project intervened with its labyrinth-like layout and consolidated and streamlined the ergonomics of the space, whilst still maintaining intimacies throughout the plan.”

It’s all about the curve

“A simple curving wall was employed to unify previously awkward and poorly defined spaces by wrapping and distinguishing the living, kitchen and dining rooms. The wall is present in every room, yet never visible in its entirety. This element contrasts the smaller, more intimate dining and kitchen nooks and provides a fluid backdrop to the main living areas, whilst concealing valuable storage space.”

Kitchen love

Posted on Mon, 14 Mar 2022 by midcenturyjo

Do you know what I love about a good kitchen? Not the colour of the cabinets or whether the benchtops are stone. OK the layout is very important and I do love open shelving, contentious I know. No what I love about a good kitchen is clever storage and great design, a home for everything and everything in its home. Boards pull out from cabinets, garbage is sorted neatly and dogs have dinner stations. It’s the extras that make a kitchen special like this light-filled room by award winning kitchen design firm Studio Dearborn.
