The garden library

Posted on Mon, 19 May 2014 by midcenturyjo

Down at the end of the garden is where you would normally find a folly. But how can you call a garden library a folly? Created by Czech firm Mjölk Architects, this fibreglass and wood box provides a reading room, a sleeping floor, a perch to observe your literary kingdom and of course books, glorious books. My head is swimming with possibilities. Just where in my garden will I place mine?

Stalking again

Posted on Wed, 5 Feb 2014 by midcenturyjo

A standard layout in a standard apartment block but it’s the little personal touches, the cute kitchen, the fabulous inner, inner almost right in the centre of Sydney location. Stalking wee apartments in Surry Hills. Link here while it lasts.

Sliding door

A small area, a big idea. Multi use space in a bijou apartment by Sydney based architect Nicholas Gurney. Stylish, clever and just a little bit fun. Now you see it. Now you don’t.

Bijou and bright

Posted on Mon, 25 Nov 2013 by midcenturyjo

A dark green lacquered entry opens to light and bright living space in this little jewel box of an apartment in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. (It’s only only 75m².) Rooms are entered in a circular, almost wandering fashion with each space defined by texture and colour, white marble, green lacquer, blue tiles and oak.  By Septembre Architecture.

Ufogel

Posted on Mon, 4 Nov 2013 by midcenturyjo

Like a UFO landed in an alpine village or a retro caravan stopped in its travels, perhaps a sculptural bird or even a chicken coop perched next to an old timbered farmhouse, Ufogel (UFO plus the German word for bird, Vogel) is a 45 m2 larch wood getaway in the village of Nußdorf in the East Tyrolean region of Austria. Look at the views. It would be like sitting, sipping wine and reaching out to touch heaven. I might not include you in this Monday escape. Hope you don’t mind. I’d like to share it with my blind husband. I want to describe every inch of that view.
