Concrete sophistication

Posted on Thu, 28 May 2015 by midcenturyjo

Raw concrete and honed basalt. A monochrome palette warmed with burnt orange highlights. A nod to Palladian villas perched by the sea. Loggia lounging and beachside modern. A marriage between swimwear and sophistication. Sorrento House on the Mornington Peninsula by Melbourne-based Rob Mills Architects.

 

 

Nest

The perfect family nest by Nest Architects. Let me clarify. Perfect is for the modern extension to this older home. Don’t really care if the family is perfect or not 😉

New from Nils Finne

Posted on Fri, 22 May 2015 by midcenturyjo

Touching lightly on the meadow in which it sits, this amazing home by Finne Architects celebrates not only the view but the craftsmanship and artisan beauty of a carefully considered building. Nils Finne calls it crafted modernism, with cast bronze inserts at the front door, variegated laser-cut steel railing panels, a curvilinear cast-glass kitchen counter, waterjet-cut aluminum light fixtures and many custom furniture pieces. Interior, exterior, relation to site, all integrated, all pleasing to the mind and soul. The Mazama house located in the Methow Valley of Washington State, a secluded mountain valley on the eastern edge of the North Cascades, about 200 miles northeast of Seattle.

Bold Brazil

Posted on Tue, 19 May 2015 by midcenturyjo

A Brazil! Bold and beautiful. Love this São Paulo apartment by Diego Revollo Arquitetura. A monochromatic palette revved up with rich hues and slick surfaces. Oh so cool and definitely hot. It may be purple but it’s no shrinking violet.

I think I’ve died and gone to kitchen heaven. Amazing! And if this is heaven then New York studio Workstead are design gods.
