Maxa Design

Posted on Thu, 3 Apr 2014 by midcenturyjo

A Melbourne family home undergoes a make over by Maxa Design and not only is it funky and fresh but the design team have adhered to eco friendly building principles. Prize winning, stylish, family friendly, affordable and sustainable. A great combination.

 

Apartment as sculpture

Posted on Thu, 27 Mar 2014 by midcenturyjo

When is an apartment more than shelter, more than home? When it is art. The sculptural form of this loft apartment in West Melbourne by Adrian Amore Architects blurs the line between habitation and installation. Curvaceous and twisting, the staircase leads to first the sleeping level then rises to the rooftop terrace.

(P.S. You may recognise the space from my real estate stalking here.)

Shadow play

Posted on Wed, 26 Mar 2014 by midcenturyjo

Light and shadow, solid and pierced, concrete and timber, private and public, inside and out. Family home, coastal home, another home by Wolveridge Architects. Eltham South, Blairgowrie in Victoria and, yes, also shortlisted for the Australian Interior Design Awards 2014.

San Francisco

Posted on Fri, 7 Mar 2014 by midcenturyjo

A modern retreat up on the hill. Telegraph Hill, San Francisco that is. Climb the stairs and not only does a stunning view await you but the clean, minimal lines of the two floor apartment by CCS Architecture. Can common sense be sexy? Can practical be super stylish? Sure can!

Doherty Lynch now Doherty and Lynch

Posted on Tue, 25 Feb 2014 by midcenturyjo

Two beautiful homes today from Australian design duo Doherty Lynch. Sadly no more. Excitingly now two interior design firms Doherty Design Studio and Fiona Lynch. Does this mean double the design output? I certainly hope so. Theirs is the epitome of the clean, modern Australian design ethos.
