Like many of the Australian houses I feature here the Trellis House by West Australian design firm Fringe Architects involves an extension to a late 19th/early 20th century building. These inner city homes are small, often dark and not at all suited to our modern way of life. Their location in desirable inner city suburbs will see owners extend them to embrace more space, the open plan living we all desire these days and an almost culturally ingrained need for Australians to open the indoors to the out. This Perth home sees the marriage of old and new, modern with mid century, polished concrete, exposed brick and a set of pivoting doors that would not be out of place in a Palm Springs mid century pad.

I have a crush on Jennie Gruss. For realz. 

This gorgeous home was designed by Seattle interior designer Jennie Gruss and it is pushing all the right buttons with me. Classy with a vintage feel. Throw in a Platner chair and a Greta Grossman grasshopper light and some really stunning dining chairs (by ?) and I am ALL OVER THIS. 

William Platner lounge chairs are SO sexy – up there with Panton chairs. This photo is STUNNING!

Floor to ceiling sea green tiles. A shaft of light from above. Like swimming underwater. Love! Bathroom in Kate’s House by Bower Architecture.

It’s over a year ago that Kim featured the work of Russian architecture and design firm INT2 architecture and they just keep getting better and better. Actually there is only one thing to fault in this amazing Moscow townhouse. It’s not real. It’s a rendering. Part Scandinavian, part mid century, all computer generated… until it’s built. The colour blocking is blowing my mind. I can’t wait for virtual to be made real.
