Heritage reimagined

Posted on Tue, 28 Oct 2025 by midcenturyjo

In the heart of Park Slope, Lyons Studio redesigned a historic brownstone, balancing tradition with modernity. The updated layout enhances flow and function, while bespoke millwork and layered materials bring depth and warmth. Classic detailing is carefully interpreted through a contemporary lens, preserving the home’s heritage while accommodating modern living, an expression of Lyons Studio’s refined, practical and joyfully sophisticated design approach.

A coastal composition

Posted on Tue, 28 Oct 2025 by midcenturyjo

Set on a prime harborfront site, this 1990s Nantucket residence has been reimagined by Workshop/APD as a forever home. The design unifies its original gabled form with a refined, contemporary sensibility, anchored by a sculptural staircase in textured plaster and dark-stained wood. Reclaimed timber, wire-brushed oak, striated stone and steel paneling lend depth and tactility. True to the Workshop/APD aesthetic the home embodies an artful, unmistakable expression of modern Nantucket living.

Paola Moretti

Posted on Mon, 27 Oct 2025 by KiM

Paola Moretti’s vision combines being both an interior designer with an artistic sensibility. Ranging from contemporary art to design, from cinema to fashion and architecture, from newly built to historic buildings through extraordinaries unexpected contaminations. Therefore she has established a fertile dialogue among past and future, old and new, ancient and contemporary. A constant exchange which enhances the identity of the space. Her goal or mission is to preserve the future. A personal, richly poetic and emotional vision of interiors, comprised of tradition, contemporaneity and worlds, in a timeless aesthetic journey because nothing is more contemporary than the eternal.

Timeless balance

Posted on Fri, 24 Oct 2025 by midcenturyjo

This 18th-century barn has been reimagined by Berkeley Hawkes with an easy respect for balance, natural materials and a strong sense of place. Drawing on the calm symmetry of Georgian architecture the interior balances rustic texture with refined detail. Raw beams meet finely panelled walls, reclaimed oak and honed marble lend warmth and permanence. Antique pieces and salvaged elements layer history into the space, creating a home of enduring depth, rooted in contrast, crafted with soul.

Spec house turned retreat

Posted on Thu, 23 Oct 2025 by KiM

Similar to the last project I featured by McLean Interiors, this spec house in Dallas, Texas is also a wonderful mix of light and dark (with dark in the rooms that I loooove seeing dark – the dining room and lounge/media/bar/games room) and an overall warm modern approach that is timeless and full of cozy furnishings. I need a big furry/fleecy chair so damn bad. Builder: Bean Co Homes; Photos: Matti Gresham.
