“The family who lives here has two small girls, and more than anything they wanted a calm atmosphere … This house has a sense of air and light that really takes advantage of its setting and views, and lets the owner’s art collection shine.”

The challenge is keeping the character and history while creating a light, bright family home with all the mod cons. It’s something we share often on Desire to Inspire and this Pacific Heights, San Francisco home by Redmond Aldrich is all about bringing the house into a new century ready to face a beautiful future.

“The spirit of the house is grounded in the materiality of its muscular architecture—its chunky plaster walls, terracotta tile roof, stone fireplace surrounds, and dark ceiling of exposed wood beams. The interior appointments alternately reinforce the ruggedness of the architectural envelope and respectfully contradict it with furnishings that place a premium on refined lines, distilled forms, and soft textures.”

With an emphasis on deep colors and antiques, Cameron Ruppert Interiors was entrusted with transforming this space into an energetic yet timeless work of art. Adding in architectural components like paneling in the entryway and millwork throughout, CRI added warmth and complexity to every corner. These colours and patterns, whether on the pale/pastel side or bold and saturated, give me LIFE. Photos: Stazy Zarin Goldberg

“Designed by Joshua Nimmo of Nimmo Architecture with interior design and styling by Joshua Rice Design, the emphasis on natural wood gives warmth to an otherwise all-glass house. Furthermore, an array of carefully-curated objects and vintage furniture pieces sets the tone for this sophisticated contemporary residence.”

A multi-generational home where sustainability is as important as sophistication. Beautifully decorated with a mid century riff the glass and concrete rooms are warmed with wood accents and modern art.

“The Notting Hill Apartment is one of twenty-six luxury residential apartments set within a boutique development in West London. The architectural language of the site is a contemporary interpretation of the original, white stuccoed Victorian villas that line the streets in the area. Using the same studied ethos as the inspiration, the interior design is true to its context but explicitly modern”
