What was once a derelict warehouse so full of bird droppings it was nicknamed the Pigeon Shed is now a stunning, contemporary home by Sydney architects and interior designers Marsh Cashman Koolloos. Levels of luxury and style in an historic industrial shell.

Maddalena Cannarsa of extrArchitecture is an Italian architect living in London, and Jo featured her flat a while back here. She emailed recently wanting to share a couple of her recent projects with us. This first project is the interior design refurbishment of a home in Notting Hill. The flooring is beautiful (wide plank all the way!) and the kitchen is simple and sleek. 

Here we have a refurbished flat in Chelsea with a new side extension. Pops of yellow in the kitchen alcoves and the bold tiled shower in the bathroom are a fun way to add colour in an otherwise neutral space. I hope the homeowners are big fans of yellow! 

I have a thing for eclectic spaces, where it appears that the homeowner does alot of thrift shopping and most pieces have not originated from Ikea. This simple yet eclectic apartment in Madrid caught my attention. It has some fun, graphic art mixed with mid-century furnishings and accessories (ie. beautiful West German vases!). I personally would have maybe added some colour to a wall or 2 (maybe they aren’t allowed) and I find the dining room very underwhelming. Other than that it is a wonderful, bright open space that is very inviting. Via Architectural Digest Spain, photos by Asier Rua.

A little bit Hollywood Regency. A little bit midcentury glam. A little bit calm and classic with a fresh bite of colour. It’s about easy elegance, personality and fun. Like a lively interiors tonic this Sunset Plaza home by LA-based interior designer Ames Ingham has put some pep in my weekend.

A dreamy living room. The ceiling-mount lights give me heart palpitations.

Love the massive loungey sofa, and the hanging display boxes and clips (?)

OMG I want that alien dude!! (Anyone know what it is? Saw it a while back and didn’t take note dammit)

Lighting always ALWAYS makes a room.
