When space is at a premium in places like Paris, I love seeing how designers and architects use their creativity to maximize space and create storage. This Paris apartment isn’t very small (124 m²) but the amount of storage in each room makes me very envious (having lived in old homes with either no closets or tiny ones for many years). Also love the all white backdrop for the fun pops of colour and the black corridor that adds some serious drama. Designed by l’Agence June. (Photos: BCDF studio)

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. Fuego Camina Conmigo x SANCAL by Isern Serra.

The beauty of minimalism

Posted on Tue, 7 Feb 2023 by midcenturyjo

“Hidden behind the brick façade of Richmond’s historic AKM building, this apartment had endured poorly planned refurbishments in the past. When invited to work on this project we aimed to honour the building’s history whilst offering a new approach to inner-city family living. Working within the existing 80m2 footprint, we replanned the two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment to include an additional study & ensuite.”

From its double height ceiling and steel framed windows to the restrained palette of oak, grey limestone, soft whites and neutral furnishings this Melbourne apartment by Melanie Beynon is an exercise in the beauty of minimalism.

Barcelona cool

Posted on Fri, 3 Feb 2023 by midcenturyjo

It’s not just how wonderfully cool this Barcelona apartment would be in the Spanish heat but how fabulously cool (as in awesome) it is.  White walls on white tiles, rooms that open and close, walls of books and a terrace that beckons just past the doors. Simplicity and authenticy. Monterols by interior designers Conti, Cert.
