A transformed 300 year old barn in the Hudson Valley

Posted on Fri, 10 Mar 2023 by KiM

A 300 year old barn is transformed into a weekend retreat that is modern, minimal and really REALLY cool. I’m dreamy about this kind of rustic/modern/industrial/loft space for as long as I can remember. By Studio Todd Raymond. (Photos: Adrian Gaut)

Mid-Century Modern

Posted on Fri, 3 Mar 2023 by midcenturyjo

Twin Gable House in Sunnyvale, California is an Eichler, Plan OJ-1605, originally designed by A. Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons in 1962. Twin Gable House is also a sympathetic and stylish renovation by Ryan Leidner Architecture. Minimalist modern living in a house that still celebrates its Eichler history. A fabulous example of Mid-Century Modern, not mid-century mash-up.

Maximizing space for storage in a Paris apartment

Posted on Fri, 24 Feb 2023 by KiM

When space is at a premium in places like Paris, I love seeing how designers and architects use their creativity to maximize space and create storage. This Paris apartment isn’t very small (124 m²) but the amount of storage in each room makes me very envious (having lived in old homes with either no closets or tiny ones for many years). Also love the all white backdrop for the fun pops of colour and the black corridor that adds some serious drama. Designed by l’Agence June. (Photos: BCDF studio)

Earthy modern minimalist

This Orange County family home is full of warmth and a really grounded energy. Design firm Soko Dai added alot of natural stone, wood and textural fabrics to bring an earthy, modern, minimalist vibe. Also, I’ve never seen so many gorgeous bathrooms in one home! WOW!!! (Photos: Tramp Studio)

The beauty of minimalism

Posted on Tue, 7 Feb 2023 by midcenturyjo

“Hidden behind the brick façade of Richmond’s historic AKM building, this apartment had endured poorly planned refurbishments in the past. When invited to work on this project we aimed to honour the building’s history whilst offering a new approach to inner-city family living. Working within the existing 80m² footprint, we replanned the two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment to include an additional study & ensuite.”

From its double height ceiling and steel framed windows to the restrained palette of oak, grey limestone, soft whites and neutral furnishings this Melbourne apartment by Melanie Beynon is an exercise in the beauty of minimalism.
