Light floods through generous skylights into this repurposed former garage in Amsterdam by i29. Clean lines, contemporary materials, simple spaces that speak for themselves. Stark white with walls of oak and accents of black all grounded by a stunning mossy green and white carpet.

Slick brick, textured minimalism, an emphasis on construction, on materials, on details. Raw and rough becoming more sophisticated, smoother as you progress through this prewar loft in NYC’s Greenwich Village. By Raad.

I thought I would share a random assortment of images from other projects by Septembre Architecture. A renovation and extension of a traditional courtyard house in Hammamet, Tunisia… a wood cabin with sauna and bedroom on the island of Trossö, Sweden… a renovation of a 70m² apartment for a family of four in the 19th district of Paris… a renovation of a 70m² apartment in the 19th arrondissement of Paris… a renovation of a 110 m² apartment in the first arrondissement of Paris.

The face it presents to the street is quite stern. Box-like, no adornment, a little severe. The architects call it a “nod to the Victorian character of the street without any of the attendant frou frou.” Open the door and the mood changes. Although still minimalist there is a warmth conveyed but the lightest of pastel shades and the extensive use of wood. The small space is enhanced by furniture and fittings that stand on narrow legs allowing longer sight lines while a double height void opens up the room. I’d love to see how this house mellows over time as the new owners put their stamp on the clean contemporary lines. House in Double Bay by Sydney-based architectural studio Tribe.

A starkly beautiful white shell becomes a stylish contemporary apartment by Berlin-based BRUZKUS BATEK. Stripped down and gallery-like the scene is set for life’s dramas through “the interplay of space, materiality, colour and light”.
