Living above the shop

Posted on Wed, 5 Jan 2022 by midcenturyjo

It’s fabulous to be back blogging in a new year. Here’s to 2022 being so much better and brighter than last year. I couldn’t think of a better home to start off the year than this apartment above a shop … but not just any shop. It’s Barracuda Interiors showroom in the sea side town of Comporta, Portugal. Think relaxed beachy vibe with natural materials, old found pieces and the occasional pop of colour against a bleached out colour palette. The perfect holiday getaway or imagine being lucky enough to enjoy it year round.

Inside outside in

I love living in the subtropics. Here it is all about blurring the edges between indoors and out, expanding  living spaces when the weather is warm and inviting but being able to close up and hunker down if things turn inclement. This house in the Brisbane suburb of Bulimba by DAHA is the perfect example. The alterations and additions revolve around a central coutrtyard opening up the public spaces to the views and the breezes.

Welcome to this tiny (30sq m) Haussmannian pied-à-terre with its beautiful original features and bespoke pieces to delineate spaces and provide function. A small kitchen sits in an alcove carved from a central volume which houses the bathroom and a mezzanine sleeping area above. The living room is separated from the bedroom by a berry coloured fluted screen providing privacy and a pop of colour. Boulevard Haussmann by Paris-based Batiik Studio.
