Bungalow blues

Posted on Thu, 5 Mar 2020 by midcenturyjo

“Located on a large leafy suburban block Bungalow House has been transformed and reconfigured from a labyrinthine of rooms & hallways to thoughtfully planned living spaces. By retaining the existing footprint and carefully replanning each space, internal spaces were renovated, each room designed and transitioning into one another to reflect the family, location and farmhouse design aesthetic.”

Hello blue kitchen! I think it’s a case of love at first sight. I shouldn’t have called this post “Bungalow blues” when there is so much to love about this house by Adelaide-based interior designer Georgie Shepherd.

Restoration of a Regency villa

Posted on Thu, 12 Dec 2019 by midcenturyjo

The Regency villa had seen better days, sadly divided into 3 flats with clumsy additions and awkward spaces. Enter London-based interior designers Harding & Read who created a family home with all the mod cons while retaining its historic proportions and details. Atmospheric with its own sense of place the home feels like it has evolved over generations not resurrected recently.

 

Oak Tree House

This modern extension to an Edwardian era house has resulted in something very special. Think contemporary sculpture meets colour blocking, new connections between inside and out and restraint versus drama. The Oak House (named for the mature oak that dominates the site) by Melbourne based Kennedy Nolan.

Library nirvana

Posted on Mon, 20 Aug 2018 by midcenturyjo

Yes I know I posted an office on Saturday. Kim even posted an office on Sunday but I knew you would forgive a hat trick of workplaces once you set eyes on this library nirvana. This is Hordern House, a purveyor of rare books, manuscripts and paintings in Sydney’s Surry Hills. Richly layered, beautifully curated, this gem of a space was designed by Studio Kate and is quite possibly the most beautiful retail/office space I have ever set eyes upon. Once I had entered I would never want to leave.
