With a contemporary style that is sophisticated and refined, this North Sydney house mixes carefully considered, luxurious finishes with a limited palette of greys and whites warmed by wood. The result is an elegant modern space, curated yet comfortable by Tania Handelsmann.

Classic environments seen through a modern eye. That’s how interior designer John K. Anderson describes his work. Anderson takes contemporary, mixes in some mid century, always with traditional references and what evolves is a modern urban vibe. It’s about livability and loving the space you’re in. Fresh and  fun and fabulous.

Montréal architecture firm _naturehumaine turned a boring 1950 concrete home in Notre Dame de Grâce into a spectacular contemporary work of art and I am totally smitten with the outcome. Not only is the exterior a beauty, the interior has something intriguing around every corner. There really is nothing better than black window frames, and I am amazed how they mixed several types and shades of wood in one home yet it still looks so cohesive. I am saving every photo in my inspiration folder. 

Hiding silently in the shadows of moss covered trees, dark walls blend seamlessly with old growth. Enter the door and all changes. Wide walls of windows capture the light throwing black and white interiors into stark relief. Wooden accents warm and burnish. Retro meets modern. Light versus dark. Sharp angles against the softening canopy of mature trees. The Arboretum Residence remodel by Portland, Oregon based Skylab Architects.

Sutro Architects call it a Parisian Modern Flat… except it’s in the Pacific Heights area of San Francisco. A chic Euro vibe with sun shining in through large windows onto white walls and herringbone floors. Good architectural bones and great new architectural design. I really don’t care where the flat is. I’m moving in. J’adore.
