Palm Beach Spanish Revival

Posted on Fri, 22 Dec 2023 by midcenturyjo

“Deeply inspired by the natural world, Sarah looks to nature’s juxtaposition of materiality, pattern, texture, and patina to inspire a grounded yet organic feeling in the spaces she designs.”

So here it is my final house before the end of the year “Favourites” and I couldn’t think of a better one than the Palm Beach home of Nachos Figueras and Delfina Blaquier by Sarah Sherman Samuel. No more words this time. I’ll let the rooms do all the talking.

“The studio hallmark of warm modernism is artfully realized by curating a conscious integration of vintage, contemporary, and custom furnishings. The result is singular and refined; a space where tradition meets contemporary allure. Within this paradigm, we take pride in fashioning environments that are timeless, polished, functional, and in harmony with the distinctive lifestyles of our clientele.”

This light bright family home in Central Park West is a perfect example of Neal Beckstedt‘s idea of warm modernism. Layers and colour, art and texture, from subway tile to wood panelling

Rio House

Posted on Wed, 20 Dec 2023 by midcenturyjo

Nestled beside Rio de Janeiro’s Tijuca National Park, this 1,500-square-foot haven is a sleek steel-and-glass sanctuary supported by two concrete piers. Sitting high in the rainforest, it offers seclusion for its owners to commune with nature, seamlessly blending into the wild tropical landscape. The northern end houses a single bedroom while the south unveils vistas of the city, sea and Christ the Redeemer. Below, a screened porch and open-air kitchenette allow interaction with the surroundings. It’s all about durability, functionality and regional aesthetics amidst Rio’s humid climate.

An easy sophistication

Posted on Wed, 20 Dec 2023 by midcenturyjo

Subtle sophistication. A home rich in texture while restrained in palette. Think warm wood and natural materials, white walls and light-filled rooms. Easy, stylish living. This East Hamptons retreat is the holiday bolt-hole of interior designer Julie Hillman where she blends classic and contemporary. A welcoming, warm oasis full of antique finds, contemporary art and personal pieces.
