Open and airy live-work

Posted on Tue, 8 Aug 2023 by midcenturyjo

“The 1930’s Cape had undergone multiple renovations throughout the years by its previous visionary and eclectic owners. ERA chose to preserve and retain the layout and spirit of the house. Mechanicals were updated, all windows were replaced and the summer retreat was transformed into a year-round space for creativity and collaboration. A dilapidated entry volume was rebuilt and furnishings were chosen to enhance the open and airy environment. The palette of the architecture, including painted floors, wood clad columns, and fresh white baths, was combined with a mix of new and old furniture, melding different eras and materials to create a unique space that feels as though it is from no particular era.”

A home designed with openness and airiness in mind, collaboration and creativity. Architect Elizabeth Roberts’ live-work home in Bellport, Long Island.

Marbella-based architecture and interior design studio Garnica Miguelena has meticulously crafted a luxurious and personalized ambience in this Madrid apartment. Sophisticated and serene with a white-on-white colour palette the home is both luxurious and functional. The carefully chosen furnishings and decor elements add a mix of contemporary flair and a traditional timeless allure.

A Martha’s Vineyard cottage

Posted on Fri, 14 Jul 2023 by KiM

If I were to have a cottage in a place like Martha’s Vineyard, I would want it to be decorated exactly like this. Especially that yellow kitchen. Such a charming and incredibly inviting home that I bet allows for the most epic granny naps and games nights. Historic preservation + deep energy retrofit + interior design by Cuppett Kilpatrick.

Camp Frio

Posted on Mon, 10 Jul 2023 by KiM

A multi-family compound rises from a remote, grassy valley on the bank of the Frio River deep in the Texas Hill Country. The goal for this project was to create shelters with an environmental experience unique to its place where Summer madness gives way to Winter stillness. Structures consist of a main house, meditation room over art studio/garage, and two guest studio cottages. Main house and cottages are linked by a slightly elevated walkway. A “breezeway” bookended by concealed multi-slide doors bisects the main house enabling alfresco dining most of the year.
The new owner says the spaces are “cozy…but ample and gracious; dark and moody….but bright and airy”. Sounds like the perfect juxtapositions that allow you to easily adjust per your mood of the moment (or season). Architecture and interior by Cuppett Kilpatrick.

Applied colour

Posted on Mon, 3 Jul 2023 by midcenturyjo

With its post war modernist bones it would be easy to reproduce a retro 50’s decor or worse demo and create a bare modern interior. Instead Warsaw-based interior design firm Colombe celebrated the building painting everything white then appling pops of colour framed like works of art and filling it with a mix of midcentury and contemporary pieces. Fun, fabulous and fresh, a liveable, loveable family home.
