Terra House

“The client’s brief was primarily to transplant their pre-existing family home into their contemporary new home in an authentic and integrated way. Stylistically, the clients wanted to the interior to be designed around their key pieces of furniture and collectibles, cultivated over many years. The design skilfully re-frames these sentimental items with care and attention.”

Tonal variations, layers of texture, wabi-sabi and soft filtered light. The result is an urban oasis. Terra House by Melbourne-based interior designer Brahman Perera.

Warm and tactile minimalism

Posted on Tue, 12 Jul 2022 by midcenturyjo

The perfect blend of primitive and modern with a warm minimalism and a touch of wabi-sabi. It’s about clean lines, variations on a neutral colour palette and subtle changes in texture. Earthy but chic. T Studio by Taipei-based Ecru Studio.

A château for sale in Bordeaux

Posted on Sun, 10 Jul 2022 by KiM

This stunning 11 bedroom, 9 bathroom French castle was built in the the middle of the 19th century and is located about a 20 minute drive from Bordeaux. This castle has been completely renovated with quality materials by an architect specializing in the restoration of historic buildings and I can’t help but laugh at alot of the interior. Trendy much? It has a lot going for it regardless – a 5-hectare park, 19th century wind turbine, heated outdoor swimming pool with pool house, a “sound and light” installation that illuminates the chateau in the evening while music is played from loudspeakers hidden throughout the chateau grounds (OMGGGGG). For sale via Leggett and Belles Demeures.

“Warmth and charm were infused into this 1790’s farm by clearly defining the personality of every room – yet having small moments of connection to make the home feel complete. We worked with the home’s existing floor plan to maintain the historical character and updated all the finishes, paint colors and furnishings so it’s liveable but not too precious.”

A celebration of pattern and colour, bespoke and antique, this home is packed with personality and history. It’s about welcoming family and friends and overstuffed comfort for all, about cottage living mixed with modern conveniences. Historic Farm by Cameron Ruppert.

A century old cabin in California

Posted on Fri, 1 Jul 2022 by KiM

Santa Anita cabin. Angeles National Forest, California. By Commune Design.
Our intent was to blend a variety of inspirations within the original hundred year old historic cabin. We looked at Swedish and French chalets, Japanese and Shaker design details all through the framework of utility and function. Every bit of space was utilized creating places to stash gear and organize clutter for a weekend trip… All materials and furnishings were transported down a narrow canyon path by pack mule or hand built wheel barrow.
This cabin would be an absolute BLAST to spend a summer holiday. I’d even be game for going all in and using the outhouse 🙂
