Harbour Edge House c.1910 reworked and extended by Fearon Hay Architects. An ethereal beauty. White floors, white walls, floating white drapes stirred by the breeze from the water beyond. Simplified and sensual. It’s love at first sight for me.

The awards have been decided, gongs to be given and it’s official. The World Architectural Festival has chosen the Dune House by New Zealand’s Fearon Hay Architects as the winner in the Villa category. Nestled in the dunes of a popular beach the home provides shelter and privacy, a raw richness and coastal calm. Interiors are in collaboration with Penny Hay.

Stunning sleek and modern kitchens, spaces bathed in light, and did I mention stunning kitchens? Architecture for London seems to know their way around la cuisine, and they are masters at refurbishing older homes and making them shine.

I’d like to share a couple of beautiful homes designed by Mike Jacobs Architecture that both have mid-century modern vibes. This first one, located in Los Angeles, is as palatial as they come and is a classy, toned-down version of mid-century design. The second is located in Los Feliz, and was a 630 sq ft addition and complete interior renovation of a 1920’s Mediterranean-style bungalow. It has a bright and energizing mid-century vibe that is much more “Palm Springs” and casual than the first. My favourite. (Check out another of their projects here)

Both of these homes have a beautiful selection of furnishings that perfectly suit the architecture. Rove Concepts is an ideal choice for mid century modern furniture (such as seating, tables, accents) if this look is what you are after.
