Stalking the imperfect

Posted on Mon, 3 Nov 2014 by midcenturyjo

A house and a tiny apartment. Both perfectly imperfect. Yes there are gaps and cracks. White paint unites disparate surfaces and eras. Art draws the eye. Style and personality and something I can’t put my finger on. The frisson of wabi sabi? One thing I do know. There are not enough photos! I need to see more. The first house is in Avalon with the link here. The second is a bijou home in Potts Point. Who needs a sofa when friends can gather round your table. Link here while it lasts.

 

29sqm

Posted on Mon, 3 Nov 2014 by midcenturyjo

Rough and sleek, old and new, neutral and black. Walls softened by fabric and mezzanine of OSB. Even a false door. Big on style and small in square metres. 29sqm by Polish architects 3XA.

Still stalking

If Blairgowrie was my beach house (see my previous post) then this Fitzroy North, Melbourne house would be my city crash pad. Love it and love real estate stalking. Link here while it lasts.

Stalking wee white

Posted on Wed, 3 Sep 2014 by midcenturyjo

Small and white, clean and bright…. ooops that’s a couple of lines from the song Edelweiss but if they truly applied to this Woollahra, Sydney garden apartment you’d have to include stylish, layered, textured and sold. Too late with this stalking I fear. Link here while it lasts.

Long Courtyard House

Posted on Tue, 2 Sep 2014 by midcenturyjo

A modern extension to an inner Sydney house sees contemporary concrete and timber “boxes” provide the owners with courtyard living as well as extra living space. Love the sliding walls that open the inside to the out as well as the second garden on the roof. Long Courtyard House by Scale Architecture.
