Working on a Saturday

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Holland Park Office by Miminat.

Light House

“Light House, Vaucluse: An award-winning project for a family who love Italian-inspired design. Described as ‘timeless and lovingly layered’ by Belle and ‘beautifully nuanced’ by Vogue Living.”

And why the name “Light House”? Yes, the design allows light to pour into the rooms through large windows and a central void, but look out the window and you might see another reason. Sophisticated contemporary living by Sydney-based Smac Studio.

Sophisticated Urban Oasis

Posted on Mon, 4 Dec 2023 by midcenturyjo

“Thoughtfully balancing luxury and restraint, Hyland Street delivers a lifestyle-driven residence tailored to its compact, inner-suburban site. Beyond a sculpted facade of hit-and-miss brickwork, the new residence embraces deft planning and a restrained material palette to enhance scale and connection.

Upon entry, views are dramatically cast across a narrow reflection pool to the property’s rear boundary, guiding movement and lending a feeling of generosity. A central sunken lounge, complete with a suspended fireplace and multi-use plinth, offers a layered setting to entertain or unwind. Beyond, a timber-lined kitchen is anchored by a scooped, blush-onyx bench – a natural gathering place to socialise and dine, opening laterally to the pool and courtyard.

Ascending the timber-lined stairs, the home’s private zones embrace a soothing tone with elemental forms and curved profiles elevating domestic rituals. Finely crafted timber joinery, tactile finishes and subtle embellishments impart a calm cohesion throughout – a relaxed ambience, emphasised by an intimate rooftop terrace with expansive views across Melbourne’s city skyline.”

Southern charm in a Nashville home

Posted on Fri, 1 Dec 2023 by KiM

This family home in Nashville was designed by April Tomlin and exudes warmth and character and cozy cottage vibes from every corner. I am completely smitten with the European-style kitchen AND the working pantry AND the entertaining kitchen off the pool area. So much kitchen-y goodness to fall head over heels for!

Rosetta, built in the 1920s, has started a new chapter in its legacy. Adhering to heritage restrictions, its latest owners harmoniously blend old and new, balancing preservation with connectivity. The interior, spacious and embracing, echoes the past while embracing a muted, welcoming ambience. Georgian influences echo in the exterior’s original pink hue and restored details, preserving its essence within the original structure. An underground addition expands family space, prioritizing flexibility and harmony with the garden. Rosetta embodies sustainability, integrating vintage pieces, natural light, and ventilation, preserving its narrative while embracing ecological consciousness.
