Binker Barn designed in 1967 by William Turnbull for the Sea Ranch community in Sonoma County, California sits serenely in its surroundings. The interiors have been reimagined by Kay Kollar, emphasising a fabulous collection of mid-century pieces and jewell-like pops of colour. It’s a successful marriage of styles with an acknowledgement of the mid-century bones of this otherwise rustic space.

This four-bedroom holiday home in Point Leo, Victoria blends Aussie beach shack vibes with Palm Springs motel style. The mid-century design features vibrant finishes, a reception-inspired kitchen, sunken lounge, and pool room. A long hallway, echoing a motel gangway, connects colour-blocked bedrooms with views of a central courtyard and pool. Brickwork, wooden shutters, and extensive glazing optimize natural light and passive heating for each bedroom. Not a Motel by Pleysier Perkins.

“This mid-century modern gem underwent a comprehensive remodel focusing on the office, principal bathroom, and laundry room. No stone was left unturned in creating this modern, functional space infused with whimsical touches and subtle nods to the 1970’s.”

Designer Cara Woodhouse and her family live in this fabulous modernist Long Island ranch and in her typical bold, graphic and step-outside-the-box way, she has created a whimsical space filled with circles and curves that really add warmth and a level of coziness. I would not have expected this vibe to work so well in this style of home but she really nailed it. I would have loved growing up in a house like this. So inspiring! Photos: Brian Wetzel
The remodel of a California Mid-Century home by Studio Meghan Eisenberg, originally designed and built by Meghan’s grandfather, Donald Park, in 1950, pays homage to its architectural heritage. Inspired by the original design details, the finish palette was playfully updated to revive the home with a warm sensibility. For furnishings, 60’s Ranch House decor was referenced, introducing traditional fabrics and classical silhouettes into the post and beam setting.
