A timeless forest retreat

Posted on Mon, 29 Jan 2024 by midcenturyjo

This Bend, Oregon residence, situated on a 10-acre site on the edge of a national forest, is a timeless home for a family of four. The single-story floor plan features distinct volumes, with private areas at one end and a central core connecting to a garage and workshop. Designed as a retreat, the house maximizes views of the mountains and forest. Natural materials, such as slate siding and warm cedar, blend seamlessly with the surroundings. Architecture by Bestor Architects and interior design by Reath Design.

“Set on the banks of the Brisbane River this three-level apartment was transformed into a warm and welcoming home for a young family of four. The extensive renovation saw SLI strip the entire apartment back to its bones before reconfiguring it into a four-bedroom, four-bathroom home. Our primary objective was to create a space that seamlessly blends sophistication, functionality, and a sense of comfort with a focus on adding warmth and texture. Each level has been thoughtfully curated to cater to the specific needs and preferences of the family, providing a seamless flow between shared spaces and private retreats.”

Style and substance with an amazing view. I love sharing homes from my part of the world. New Farm Residence by Samantha Leigh.

Modern farmhouse

Posted on Tue, 23 Jan 2024 by midcenturyjo

Bucolic setting meets monumental meets modern farmhouse. With its midcentury sensibility the interiors of this Mandeville Canyon house by Jamie Bush explore natural materials and textures, the artisanal and the bespoke, volume and mass, inside and out.

Woollahra Terrace by Madeleine Blanchfield Architects blends original character with contemporary family living. Transforming the original dark residence, the vibrant and fresh design emphasises existing period details within a modern context. Arched doors connect the new living space, echoing the original brick doorway motif. A sunlit kitchen, framed by steel windows, centres the layout. Monochrome interiors are offset by greenery-framed views while the austere concrete and white exteriors contrast with a lush, intentionally flowerless garden.
