Timeless balance

Posted on Fri, 24 Oct 2025 by midcenturyjo

This 18th-century barn has been reimagined by Berkeley Hawkes with an easy respect for balance, natural materials and a strong sense of place. Drawing on the calm symmetry of Georgian architecture the interior balances rustic texture with refined detail. Raw beams meet finely panelled walls, reclaimed oak and honed marble lend warmth and permanence. Antique pieces and salvaged elements layer history into the space, creating a home of enduring depth, rooted in contrast, crafted with soul.

Spec house turned retreat

Posted on Thu, 23 Oct 2025 by KiM

Similar to the last project I featured by McLean Interiors, this spec house in Dallas, Texas is also a wonderful mix of light and dark (with dark in the rooms that I loooove seeing dark – the dining room and lounge/media/bar/games room) and an overall warm modern approach that is timeless and full of cozy furnishings. I need a big furry/fleecy chair so damn bad. Builder: Bean Co Homes; Photos: Matti Gresham.

Art Deco reimagined

Posted on Fri, 10 Oct 2025 by midcenturyjo

Michiru Higginbotham is a Sydney-based residential architecture and interior design practice that blends Australian openness with Japanese simplicity. Their work balances innovation and tradition, functionality and beauty. Cremorne Deco, an Art Deco residence on Sydney’s Lower North Shore, has been reimagined with a pared-back palette of warm timber, quartzite stone and subtle colour. Original porthole windows and curves were preserved, honouring its heritage while creating a serene, contemporary home connected to the garden beyond.

Quiet elegance

Posted on Wed, 8 Oct 2025 by midcenturyjo

Greg Dutton‘s work is rooted in simplicity, warmth and a strong connection to place. Here this early 1900s residence has been reimagined with quiet elegance. The light-filled kitchen features buttery yellow cabinetry, marble countertops and open shelves, creating calm, intentional spaces. Brass fixtures and handcrafted pendants bring timeless charm, while textures and tones are thoughtfully layered throughout. Each room encourages lingering, offering comfort and serenity, a home designed for long afternoons and the gentle, unhurried rhythm of daily life.

This stunning newly built 8,000 SF, 5-bed, 8-bath home in Dallas was Belgian countryside inspired and has such beautiful proportions and details to give it an air of elegance but also a bit of rustic, southern appeal. Filled with bespoke finishes, centuries old antiques, sculptural furnishings, it’s a wonderful mix of modernity and history.
