“The apartment is located in Warsaw, in the Wola neighbourhood. The new plan required a major renovation and redevelopment project. The interior has been equipped with furniture and accessories designed by Loft Kolasiński, such as a library, dining table, wardrobe, bench with storage function, desk, coffee table, bed, and bedside tables, as well as kitchen, bathroom and office furniture. We also designed elements of steel joinery. In the project in Wola, we used a new technology of covering the fronts of the kitchen, bathroom and wardrobe furniture with the same plaster that we also covered the walls with. To equip the apartment, we have also collected unique furniture and lamps from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, which have undergone carpentry and upholstery renovation. Particularly noteworthy is the restored desk from Prague made to order in a single copy in the 1950s. Another unique object can be found in the study on the mezzanine-a grey armchair by Ivan Matusik, designed in the 1970s for the Kyjev hotel in Bratislava. To decorate the walls, we used photographs by Erwin Olaf, the duo Billy & Hells, and a painting by Apolonia Sokół.”

I love it when Loft Kolasiński share their work with us and this modern Warsaw loft is no exception. Clean, contemporary lines with carefully considered details.

A strong, masculine scheme to match the bones of this fabulous 70s home. Brown reigns supreme as does the layering of textures and natural materials. It’s about monumental stone, soaring ceilings of timber, reflections off polished concrete floors and grass paper walls that beg you to stroke them. Retrolicious furniture completes the picture.

“Tasked with creating an urban oasis on a small block in a densely populated area, connecting to the street and community while maintaining privacy for the residents was key. Nine-Square Bondi is a reflection of the client’s global and creative mindset, incorporating influences of time spent living in Hong Kong, their eclectic collection of art and love of Brazilian Brutalist houses. The core concept was to draw on their individuality but also to embrace and reflect the unique character of the Bondi Beach locality: casual, communal, colourful, imperfect and unadorned.”

“Somers Beach House occupies a prominent beach fronted property overlooking Westernport Bay with expansive views to Phillip Island and beyond to Bass Strait. The house sits on the steepest section of the site, with two generous levels acting independently of one another. It is designed as an inter-generational holiday house, with a focus on the upper level of the home being comfortable when occupied only by a retired couple.”

Now that’s the way to do a beach house. I’m packing my bags. I guess I can just turn up uninvited. A sensitive and considered approach to people and site. Somers Beach House by Melbourne-based Wellard Architects.
