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. DISSH Bondi by Brahman Perera.

Modern meets classic meets earthy

Posted on Fri, 26 Jan 2024 by KiM

This is what Kate Marker does best. Neutral, earthy tones with some dark touches, a classic and approachable take on modern that is really cozy and timeless. This massive house has a lot of white going on for my personal taste but Kate manages to make it feel really warm with some of the secondary spaces in darker tones and leaning on wood elements to add texture and keep it from being too bright and stark.

This modernist home by Josh Greene Design plays with 70s nostalgia and desert colours of ochre, pinks and browns. Custom furniture mixes with mid-century classics while monumental stone anchors it all. An oasis in an inhospitable terrain all about functionality, warmth, refinement, and comfort.

A fresh and modern elegance

“Our design approach was a delicate dance between preserving the historical essence of the Edwardian house and infusing it with a breath of fresh air and modern elegance.”

A contemporary Grand Georgian

Posted on Tue, 9 Jan 2024 by midcenturyjo

This contemporary home in the Georgian style exudes a timeless international flair, marrying what the designer calls “Classic Modernist” principles with transitional design. Crafted with meticulous care, this downsizer (yes I did say downsizer) is all about enduring elegance and top-notch craftsmanship. Emphasizing durability and easy maintenance the interior showcases sleek joinery, quartzite stones and a blend of natural elements—timber, stone, metal, and Murano glass—infusing warmth and sophistication. Architectural elements, from stone detailing to Georgian-inspired cornices, were thoughtfully integrated to honour the home’s style. Grand Georgian in Sydney’s Double Bay by Carla Barton.
