A stone sanctuary

Posted on Thu, 11 Dec 2025 by midcenturyjo

The Forest Lodge Residence by Woods & Warner champions structural honesty, where exposed concrete, dark bronze, timber and stone establish a bold, monolithic character. A two-level internal garden anchors the design, offering moments of green from every vantage. A charcoal, graphite and earth palette underpins the scheme, softened through layered textiles. Sophisticated with a hint of Hollywood glamour, the interiors balance black, white and mixed metals, enlivened by selective colour. Tessellated marble, polished brass and fine craftsmanship enrich each space, complemented by Australian-designed furniture and art.

The New Classic Residence by STUDIOJOS, a Sydney-based interior architecture studio, strikes a balance between classic detailing and modernist architecture. The design offers a fresh take on tradition, combining timeless materials and elegant forms with contemporary touches. Layers of texture and tone bring a sense of calm and permanence, with each piece thoughtfully chosen to create a home that feels evolved and personal—an effortless expression of beauty, function and individuality.

This prestigious home has been completely redesigned and renovated, giving it a new lease on life. The Blanc Marine signature style shines through in the use of exquisite natural materials and thoughtful details. The combination of refined textures, architectural features, and subtle craftsmanship has restored the home’s welcoming presence and timeless personality.
I saw some ‘before’ photos of this on Instagram and OMGGGGG Blanc Marine really did give this home a new life. It was stuck in the 90s with features that really needed to stay in the past and be forgotten. This home is now elegant and relevant. Photos: Annie Fafard.

Designed as a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, this weekend home transports you straight to the rolling hills of Tuscany—right here in Texas. With its timeless charm and cozy elegance, this space is the perfect retreat for our clients to relax, unwind, and make lasting memories with family and friends. Where every detail, from flowing iron work to organic shapes, invites you to slow down and savour the moment. Its soft palette and natural textures echo the peaceful surroundings just outside.
