The redesign of the historic hide warehouse at Strandgade 104 in Copenhagen by David Thulstrup seamlessly blends heritage with contemporary luxury. This meticulous transformation reimagines the 218-year-old industrial structure into four exclusive apartments while preserving its architectural essence. Natural materials, including Dinesen wood planks, highlight the building’s character while expansive windows frame views of the canal and city, enhancing the connection between old and new. A central core integrates essential amenities without disrupting the open-plan layout. Featuring a penthouse, single-floor residences and shared wellness spaces, this project epitomizes refined, modern living within a historic framework.

Art, space and materiality

Posted on Fri, 28 Mar 2025 by midcenturyjo

Designed by J.Kidman Architects with interiors by Golden and Studio Tali Roth, this Melbourne home is a quiet yet powerful expression of art and spatial refinement. Rooted in Belgian minimalism, an elemental colour story and tactile layering create a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. Sculptural furniture, curated artworks and striking materiality shape a living experience akin to encountering a great piece of art. A reimagined spatial plan prioritizes northern light with interconnected volumes framing outdoor spaces. The result is a residence that transcends trends, evoking timelessness, contemplation and an intimate dialogue between form, texture and function.

Gable House, designed by Studio Doherty & Folk Architects, redefines family living through bold yet harmonious design. A zinc-clad extension by Folk Architects introduces contemporary contrast, with a glazed bridge linking the heritage Queen Anne Federation home to the new wing. The reconfigured interiors embrace openness and natural light, with a salvaged brick feature wall grounding the space in history. Timber-lined ceilings add warmth, while pale blue quartzite and a striking pink pantry energize the kitchen. Playful yet refined, the home’s layered material palette—stone, Murano glass, and vintage accents—creates a rich, expressive interior that blends heritage charm with modern sophistication.
