Upward spiral

Posted on Mon, 16 Jan 2023 by midcenturyjo

It’s the understanding of space and structure that sets this 70 m2 apartment in Marais, Paris apart from your usual cookie-cutter small space design. A spiral staircase may save space and allow sight lines but why have something pedestrian? Make it a monumental one. It’s an upward spiral, a strong design statement. Volta by interior architecture studio Hauvette Madani.

Spanish tile, mid-century and colour in Spain

Posted on Thu, 12 Jan 2023 by midcenturyjo

Traditional Spanish tiles, mid-century pieces and a riot of colour. Shouldn’t work? Hell yes, it does. Packed with personality and fun San Sebastián-based interior designer Mikel Irastorza respects the traditional Spanish roots of the building then starts layering … and layering … and layering. Fabulous fun!

Loft love

Posted on Thu, 12 Jan 2023 by midcenturyjo

Just when I think my love for lofts has waned BAM! I’m smitten all over again. The space, the ceiling heights, light flooding in and the touch of industrial. In this case, the industrial remnants are juxtaposed with a neoclassical riff. Sophisticated with a touch of urban grit Soho Factory Loft by Jessica Schuster.

Moody mid century

Posted on Tue, 10 Jan 2023 by midcenturyjo

“A complete interior and exterior remodel of a Paul Sterling Hoag home in Los Angeles, California. Restrained yet warm, we began calling this gem the ‘Zen Treehouse’ because of its treeline views and great vibes. The interior floor plan and finishes were reimagined to reflect a modern-day aesthetic while continuing to pay respect to Hoag’s iconic architecture.”

The ’70s Rêve

Posted on Tue, 10 Jan 2023 by midcenturyjo

“Intoxicating and serene, the ’70s Rêve is a glam rock riff on the sultry vibes and breezy bliss of bohemian life. Restored and reconceived, this lush estate in Ross, California, exudes a balmy calm with a sexy swagger. Earthy and sumptuous, playfully plush, it teems with the effervescent cool of a YSL muse—both ageless and of the moment.”

If that’s the way Alexis Tompkins and Leann Conquer, the design duo behind San Francisco-based Chroma describe this house then anything I can add is just useless verbiage. Crazy perfect!
