“Copper-clad and streaming with light, a new townhouse by Fox Johnston Architects offers a blueprint for compact multi-level living. On an exposed corner site in the leafy back streets of Bondi, it deftly balances natural light, garden outlooks and privacy, while leaving one or two tricks up its sleeve. Fox Johnston used the site topography to carve three distinct levels, modulating materials and form to give the building strength, character and privacy. On a site of just 153 square metres, they engineered a house of 212 square metres, fringed with landscape spaces for the owners to cultivate.”

A very neutral colour palette with light wood, brass and some subtle bits of darkness…all with a touch of European flair make for such a relaxing and timeless pairing. Located in Edmond, OK, this beautiful home was designed with an English Revival style focus. The goal was to create a backdrop for balancing both beauty and function for this family. Pairing of old with new in many of the design elements, including a 200-year-old vintage Italian marble stone sink used in the powder bathroom. Vintage modern is a signature style of the Kelsey Leigh Design Co. brand this home is a perfect example of that.

Classic, neutral, casual and a bit traditional, with the sweetest exterior. This is the lovely new-build Roswell, Atlanta cottage of designer Anna Braund.

How could I not share one more house by Heidi Woodman and the team at Indianapolis-based Haus Love Interiors? Rich gold and mustard accents anchor the white of the living room while earthy tones warm the kitchen and the relaxed bedrooms. Beautiful and very liveable.

This project by Zoë Feldman Design is world’s apart from the last project I shared. And while the vibe here is a completely 180 it is also tugging at my heartstrings. Inspired by our client’s Portuguese background, we drew upon the history and unique design elements of this picturesque European country to transform the pictured Palisades townhome from dated to “old-world.” The plaster walls and soft curves that define the home’s esthetic are carried throughout the core spaces. Floating marble shelves combined with upper and lower cabinetry in the kitchen fuses function with decoration for the ultimate kitchen design. We enjoyed mixing metal finishes throughout the kitchen & bathrooms to produce a design that is well-curated through tension and balance. Built-ins and hidden closet doors are strategically placed in almost every room to capitalize on any opportunity to maximize storage.
