A courtyard oasis in London

Posted on Wed, 25 May 2022 by midcenturyjo

A little mid-week escape and where better than a verdant courtyard garden in London’s Kensington by Alasdair Cameron of Cameron Gardens. Lush, practical, stylish and green with the perfect transition between inside and out all on a narrow block the size of a handkerchief. Small IS beautiful.

A Di Biase Filkoff Architects roundup

Posted on Mon, 16 May 2022 by KiM

After featuring this project last week by Di Biase Filkoff Architects and being in awe of the beauty of their work I thought I would show a smattering of spaces from some of their other projects. I am particularly fond of the Swedish manor in the first few photos.

“The house was in good condition however did not have the style or layout to suit a contemporary way of living for a modern family. We therefore set out to open up key spaces, such as the kitchen and dining area, creating a family-style ‘heart of the home’ space. The master bedroom received a luxurious en suite bathroom, by knocking down walls between a former dressing room and smaller bathroom.”

Bringing a European sensibility with strong Scandinavian undertones Pernille Lind Studio used a neutral colour palette and a beautifully curated mix of old and new, bespoke and antique to create a sanctuary for the family, a place for cherishing past memories and for making new.

Beautifully calm

“The family who lives here has two small girls, and more than anything they wanted a calm atmosphere … This house has a sense of air and light that really takes advantage of its setting and views, and lets the owner’s art collection shine.”

The challenge is keeping the character and history while creating a light, bright family home with all the mod cons. It’s something we share often on Desire to Inspire and this Pacific Heights, San Francisco home by Redmond Aldrich is all about bringing the house into a new century ready to face a beautiful future.

With an emphasis on deep colors and antiques, Cameron Ruppert Interiors was entrusted with transforming this space into an energetic yet timeless work of art. Adding in architectural components like paneling in the entryway and millwork throughout, CRI added warmth and complexity to every corner. These colours and patterns, whether on the pale/pastel side or bold and saturated, give me LIFE. Photos: Stazy Zarin Goldberg
