A contemporary Grand Georgian

Posted on Tue, 9 Jan 2024 by midcenturyjo

This contemporary home in the Georgian style exudes a timeless international flair, marrying what the designer calls “Classic Modernist” principles with transitional design. Crafted with meticulous care, this downsizer (yes I did say downsizer) is all about enduring elegance and top-notch craftsmanship. Emphasizing durability and easy maintenance the interior showcases sleek joinery, quartzite stones and a blend of natural elements—timber, stone, metal, and Murano glass—infusing warmth and sophistication. Architectural elements, from stone detailing to Georgian-inspired cornices, were thoughtfully integrated to honour the home’s style. Grand Georgian in Sydney’s Double Bay by Carla Barton.

A cozy countryside retreat

Posted on Mon, 8 Jan 2024 by KiM

A cosy, Grade II Listed, country bolthole – full of charm, warmth and character. A carefully curated blend of old and new was used to create the feeling of a home which has organically evolved over time in a magical, bucolic setting.

L.A. French Eclectic

Posted on Wed, 6 Dec 2023 by midcenturyjo

Built in 1924 this Los Angeles house embodies French Eclectic style, popular post-WWI with returned soldiers. Influenced by Normandy architecture, it showcases steep roofs, casement windows, French doors and a mix of timber and stucco. Interior designs would often blend Tudor and Spanish influences. Jessica Helgerson Interior Design redesigned the kitchen and bathrooms, adding a ground-floor guest suite, refreshing and furnishing the house. New features reference the old and the rooms are an eclectic mix of furniture reflecting the family’s lifestyle.

Completely refurbished to accommodate the clients’ family, this typical 1980s home has been modernized to showcase the various vintage pieces amidst a space filled with character, just like its owners.  With a strong presence of wood, marble and touches of color, the ambience of each room reflects the Blanc Marine signature as well as the clients’ love of art and antiques, contributing in every way to the unique atmosphere that emanates from this home.
Charlotte-Denys residence designed again by Blanc Marine. I would have never EVER guessed this was a typical boring 1980s home. Lots of dark elements for drama, gold toned woods for some warmth, a sense of calm and old world vibes…I love every element and every inch of this. (Photos: Charles-Olivier Richard)
