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 and there’s nowhere more stylish than a designer’s own offices. MED Design Office by Meredith Ellis.

“Together with our talented clients James Chinlund and Clare Crespo we transformed a 1950s era home in the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles into a dynamic and warm living space suited to the way the family spends time together and entertains. By capturing an under-utilized second story balcony we created built-in seating with breathtaking views of the hills and a connection between the kitchen and living spaces.”

Inviting spaces with a certain glow from wood and wide windows. A touch of Japanese and respect for the house’s mid-century roots. This home renovation is by Los Angeles-based Lovers Unite, an architecture and design studio creating one-of-a-kind homes.

Set on a tree-lined street in Victoria’s southeast, Garden House blends a stately Victorian home with a contemporary glazed addition, creating a serene family sanctuary connected to its gardens. McCluskey Studio embraced understated opulence, using deft planning, a textured material palette and fine detailing. The minimalist, light-filled addition harmonizes with the original home fostering warmth and elegance throughout.
