“Stepping into this 19th-century apartment, refurbished in the 1980s, in Lisbon. Across 120 square meters of living space, the fusion of old-world charm with 20th-century allure creates a unique country side house atmosphere. A cozy 50 square meter garden adds to the sense of serenity. In this eclectic setting, inspired by travels near and far, objects  various cultures and historical periods, create a rich mix of diverse influences. The blend of contemporary flair and vintage charm evokes the warmth and comfort.”

Chimney Rock

Posted on Fri, 3 May 2024 by KiM

Situated at the foot of a towering 14,000-foot mountain peak and overlooking ancient red rock formations, this modern yet warm home crests a forested ridge. Studio Plow’s maiden, ground-up design embraces the surrounding coniferous forest of Colorado’s Front Range while offering a cozy and inviting refuge for the parents of Plow’s Founder and Chief Creative Officer, Brit Epperson. Created to emulate the intimacy of camping while maximizing the area’s grandiose mountain views, the home’s design is inspired by household rituals and a connection to nature. Each detail of this special home was lovingly crafted in collaboration with kin. With many of the custom furniture pieces sourced from Epperson’s brother, furniture designer, and builder Barrett Karber, the integration of various family skills and heirlooms into the design creates a truly bespoke, forever home for the architect and interior designer’s parents.
Most designer’s would have gone cabin-chic with this home given the rugged terrain and surroundings but the interior is sophisticated, contemporary and really warm. A bit minimal was a great approach so as to not distract from the incredible views. General Contractor: High Country Homes; Custom Furniture: Grain Construction; Photography: Nicole Franzen

Sag Harbor retreat

Posted on Thu, 2 May 2024 by midcenturyjo

“Originally constructed in the 18th century, this five bedroom residence with guest house in Sag Harbor, NY, was updated for contemporary comfort with layers of luxurious neutrals. A carefully curated mix of vintage and custom-designed pieces make a relaxing weekend retreat for crowds large and small.”

Casual luxury. Beautifully fresh and light. I’d be happy with just the guest house! Sag Habor by Anna Karlin.

Light-filled harmony

Posted on Tue, 30 Apr 2024 by midcenturyjo

The villa’s exterior belies its stunning interior transformation. Once an unassuming 1960s structure, it now shines as a bright, cohesive family home. The layout was reimagined to maximize light and garden views, focusing on opening up living areas and creating a chef-worthy kitchen. Large windows and doors connect indoors with outdoors bringing light into previously dim spaces. A muted palette and natural materials complement the client’s collections, enhancing rather than overpowering the design while custom touches like terracotta tiles and bespoke joinery.

Maximalism meets minimalism in Miami

Posted on Tue, 30 Apr 2024 by midcenturyjo

This Miami house with its Art Deco influences has been taken to the next level by Istanbul-based design practice Sanayi313. Enis Karavil created a neutral base using natural materials and a light palette then piled in a maximalist meets minimalist flair. With vibrant gallery walls, black-and-white kitchen and powder room, a mix of Art Deco bones with pieces from different design eras, the result is dynamic and fresh.
