“These D.C.-area transplants from Brooklyn wanted to take the model-home vibe out of their spacious new abode. Custom and vintage furniture, tons of texture, and well-placed color help achieve that goal. The homeowners also wanted the home to reflect their world travels, which has been expressed throughout with globally sourced pieces and earthy, natural materials.”

The Belgian midcentury project by Moore House Design in Rhode Island involved a complete scale design, renovation, and furnishing of a 3,100 sq ft gambrel colonial home. Originally built in the 80s with builder-grade finishes and partial renovations, the home lacked cohesion. The designers introduced a modern European take, aiming to unify the fragmented elements, emphasizing natural materials and local craftsmanship, including tadelakt, fine cabinetry, furniture joinery, hand-forged ironwork and custom upholstery.

West Bend House, located on a lush site in the Melbourne suburb of Northgate, offers stunning views of the wildlife belt and onto the city. MRTN Architects designed the home and Brave New Eco handled the interiors for a family of five. The house is fully electric with sustainable features like solar power and rainwater tanks. Custom joinery and detailed interiors, including a timber kitchen, plush living room, and functional study, were crafted with the clients’ needs in mind, creating a warm, practical, and beautiful living space.
