Working on a Saturday

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Fella Flagship by AP Design House.

Alidad

Opulent, elegant, sophisticated and refined. Not to everyone’s taste but there’s an other-worldy quality to Alidad‘s spaces that provide an escape to the everyday.

And the sea goes on forever

“Great architecture and interior design is always site-responsive and client-specific. It reflects and amplifies the character and attributes of its place, and of its owners. It is progressive and ambitious yet timeless.”

The old apartment was pokey and ignored the view. The new apartment is streamlined, light-filled and drinks in the sea that goes on forever. Add clever storage and hidden doors and it’s just about perfect contemporary living. Clovelly Apartment by Sydney-based James Garvan Architecture.

A library at the end of the garden

Posted on Mon, 14 Feb 2022 by midcenturyjo

Dear Design Gods hear my prayer. I want a studio space at the end of my garden just like this one by London-based Turner Architects. A library, under a tree, at the end of the garden. Sigh. I have the tree in the garden. I just need these talented architects to complete my dream.

Organic curves at Bondi Beach

Posted on Thu, 10 Feb 2022 by midcenturyjo

“Divided through the centre, the house draws light from above. A central skylight illuminates the bridging circulation spaces while a double height void running East to West provides fresh air and ventilation.

On a street primarily populated with semi-detached dwellings, this single dwelling house has been carefully designed to reflect its symmetrical neighbours. Elements of symmetry can be seen at first floor level. While the ground floor remains asymmetrical in use with the garage located to the East of the site, the building form has been intentionally divided creating a rhythm of solid and void similar to the front rooms and entry portico’s of a semi-detached development. Thoughtful consideration of materiality, colour and detail reflective of the surrounding streetscape was encompassed and deliberately reduced to a minimal palate creating a contemporary echo of its surroundings.”

Fluid, organic lines, natural material palette, emphasis on texture and playful exploration of solid and voids. Contemporary seaside living, Bondi Brise at Bondi Beach by Stafford.
