The taste of calm

Posted on Mon, 22 May 2023 by midcenturyjo

Interior designer Marta de La Rica calls it a taste of calm where traditional meets contemporary. This Madrid apartment is an ode to beauty with an emphasis on colour, texture, fabrics and craft. The painted walls and chandelier in the living room bring a sense of whimsy as does the shell-encrusted bathroom vanity. Chic European living but with Spanish roots.

Brutalist in São Paulo

Posted on Thu, 18 May 2023 by midcenturyjo

It was a gut demolition and reimagining of this São Paulo apartment by Memola Estúdio that created expansive open-plan social spaces with killer views. Wooden floors warm the brutalist concrete shell while white walls bounce the light into the apartment and provide a backdrop for the owners’ art collection. New and old furniture pieces share the neutral tones of the finishes with the “new color palette inspired by the autumn tones of the sunset that appears on the horizon.”

Kooky class

Posted on Tue, 16 May 2023 by midcenturyjo

“As far as 2-bedroom new builds go, this property packs a punch. Studio Doherty were brought on board to reimagine and design the interiors, working alongside Enth Degree Architects and their architectural framework, which reflected our client’s passion for mid-century architecture (think 1950’s Palm Springs). Our challenge was to create a dynamic, inviting, unique and kooky home that referenced, rather than imitated touchstones of mid-century design.”

From the electric blue spiral staircase to the DTILE kitchen, from the carefully curated mix of vintage and new furniture (hello 13 m long conversation pit) and the window into the pool this house by Melbourne-based Studio Doherty is stylish and fun, perfect for entertaining all your family and friends.

Bridgehampton Residence

Posted on Fri, 12 May 2023 by midcenturyjo

Traditional and yet edgy and young. Think mid-century scandi meets quintessential English cottage. What a great mix for this Bridgehampton home by Augusta Hoffman Studio for a couple who wanted it all.

So chic, so sophisticated, so French. A modern with mid-century take on the Haussmannian style with its mix of French tradition and style with vintage furniture, exclusive 20th-century antiques and bespoke furniture. Luxembourg Gardens by Argentine-trained Paris-based architect Luis Laplace.
