Lonika Chande revamped a mid-19th century terraced house in Chelsea for clients who shared her love for bold textile pairings. Despite its central location, the house maintains a tranquil atmosphere. Original features like the fireplace, cornicing, architraves and panelling were reinstated. The kitchen and living room were opened to create a sociable space featuring a curved, upholstered banquette. A third-floor rear extension houses a cozy guest room with a bed nook, custom headboard and fabric-lined wardrobe, creating a cozy effect.

Belgian mid-century in Rhode Island

Posted on Mon, 17 Jun 2024 by midcenturyjo

The Belgian midcentury project by Moore House Design in Rhode Island involved a complete scale design, renovation, and furnishing of a 3,100 sq ft gambrel colonial home. Originally built in the 80s with builder-grade finishes and partial renovations, the home lacked cohesion. The designers introduced a modern European take, aiming to unify the fragmented elements, emphasizing natural materials and local craftsmanship, including tadelakt, fine cabinetry, furniture joinery, hand-forged ironwork and custom upholstery.

A historic 1660 (yes you read that right) saltbox house in Cape Cod is an elegant interpretation of Early American style and modern facilities. The renovation by Boston-based SLC Interiors exposed the rustic bones of the building yet infused the home with style and grace. Warm, inviting and well lived in.

Reinventing a Federation bungalow

Posted on Tue, 11 Jun 2024 by midcenturyjo

A Federation bungalow transformed into a light-filled courtyard home with distinct zones for family living, all connected to the landscape. The professional couple with three sons wanted a sustainable, long-term family home with areas for parents and children, generous entertaining spaces, a private master suite, a dedicated work-from-home study, and a wine cellar. The new addition features an open kitchen, dining, living area, and a luxurious master suite with a roof terrace, blending old and new with harmonious finishes.

West Bend House, located on a lush site in the Melbourne suburb of Northgate, offers stunning views of the wildlife belt and onto the city. MRTN Architects designed the home and Brave New Eco handled the interiors for a family of five. The house is fully electric with sustainable features like solar power and rainwater tanks. Custom joinery and detailed interiors, including a timber kitchen, plush living room, and functional study, were crafted with the clients’ needs in mind, creating a warm, practical, and beautiful living space.
