Breathing new life

Posted on Thu, 3 Nov 2022 by midcenturyjo

“A renovation of a 1912 Villa to bring it into the 21st Century and make it comfortable for family life (after being a student flat for 25 years). Wall linings were replaced and repainted as was the kitchen, architraves and skirting were reinstated , heating/cooling was installed and the floors were painted.”

Breathing new life into a tired old home. Fresh, contemporary and fun. Further renovations are to come but what a great beginning. Sackville 2019 by Auckland-based Dessein Parke.

The designers knew they had a gem in the rough. The apartment in a functionalist building was derelict but as they stripped it back they discovered a ribbed ceiling and massive concrete columns. Reconfiguring the layout the main public area is an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area that embraces its industrial elements while softening them ever so slightly for family living.

Elegant and refined

Posted on Tue, 1 Nov 2022 by midcenturyjo

Stately homes, refined and elegant. These are the domain of Madrid-based interior designer Lucía Gómez-Acebo.  Think classicism, antiques, a restrained colour palette and beautiful finishes. Whether high street or the designer’s take on rustic living, homes embrace elegance, style, comfort and luxury.

It turns out Ashley Montgomery can do neutrals REALLY well also. And this is her lake house. And it’s stunning and everything a lake house should be. Also please everyone take a very close look at this island that has CURVED ENDS! Absolutely brilliant. (Photos: Lauren Miller)

Modern history

Posted on Wed, 26 Oct 2022 by midcenturyjo

A new beginning for this Haussmanian apartment in the heart of Saint Germain saw interior architects l’Agence Véronique Cotrel create a bright, modern family home while respecting the history of the building. At the heart of it all is a contemporary Boffi kitchen in a confection of a Haussmanian room. Perfection.
