When a house that has been a hodgepodge of styles and rooms for many years meets a designer like David Lucido magic happens. Things were rationalised, removed, replaced but always with a respect for the buildings original features. The result is a calm oasis in the hustle of LA, sophisticated yet relaxed.

Barefoot house

Posted on Fri, 2 Feb 2024 by midcenturyjo

This Clovelly home embodies simple, tactile, and understated beauty, fulfilling the clients’ desire for a functional yet meditative space for their growing family. The design embraces the concept of barefoot meandering, creating a world where beautiful design harmonizes with family life. Winding paths lead from the street to the front door, offering privacy without sacrificing openness to the natural surroundings. Courtyards, a double-height void, and strategic material choices like travertine, concrete, terracotta, render and timber contribute to a coastal ambiance, reminiscent of the client’s summer memories. The architecture prioritizes nature-filled experiences, drawing light and air into every space. Barefoot House by Sydney-based Madeleine Blanchfield Architects.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to work on a weekend then it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Commune’s office by who else by Commune.

Dax I Architekten

Posted on Mon, 11 Dec 2023 by KiM

Dax I creates timeless places in which architecture and design are combined. This architecture firm based in Berlin seems to be very familiar with designing small spaces as well as those with historic details. They succeed in optimizing space in creative ways (I adore a good built-in anything) and maintaining original features but adding modern touches for the way we live today.
