La Cartuja – a whimsical mansion

Posted on Wed, 24 Oct 2018 by KiM

Welcome to the magical and whimsical world of Jorge Cañete of design studio Interior Design PhilosophyThe word Serendipity is crucial in the studio’s philosophy. This world means a « happy accident » or « pleasant surprise »; specifically, the accident of finding something good or useful while not specifically searching for it. The ultra-personalized approach of the studio INTERIOR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY suggests creating projects that are inspired by the environment, by the location itself, as well as the client’s personality. In doing so, the resultant of the equation of these three sources of inspiration is unique and coherent every time, by materializing clients’ emotions. Each project starts as a white page where the story and values of the client will be written. Given this philosophy, I would LOVE to get to know the homeowners of this mansion. Also, the way that chandelier is “hung” almost has me in tears it is so beautiful. (I highly suggest you also view Jorge’s portfolio with the sound on)

Laurence Simoncini does light

Posted on Mon, 15 Oct 2018 by midcenturyjo

Laurence Simoncini has moved towards the light. Black still features in her next home, an apartment created from a warren of office space, but more as an accent along with pops of gold. The emphasis is on textures playing off the white walls. Industrial meets vintage meets high Parisian style. Which do you like the dark or the light? Hard choice isn’t it? I think I might just have to take both.

Stalking in Melbourne

Posted on Thu, 11 Oct 2018 by midcenturyjo

I’m stalking black and white with colourful art in South Melbourne. The renovation and extension to the period Victorian terrace house by Finnis architects retains the original heritage detailing while creating an understated tranquillity through a modern, minimalist touch. Link here while it lasts.

Queens Park House

Posted on Thu, 11 Oct 2018 by midcenturyjo

What Alexander and Co said about this Sydney project:
“Queens Park House is the transformation of an existing 1900’s semi-detached cottage in Sydney. The project created a new 4-bedroom home whilst the material palette and architecture explored the use of steel detailing and various natural hues and textures. The internal styling, lighting and furniture responded to our client’s very particular ambitions.”

What I have to say about said property:
“Swoon!”

 

Mid century rustic

Posted on Tue, 9 Oct 2018 by midcenturyjo

So slick. So cool. Mid Century Modern with rustic, monochrome magic with metalic accents. It’s hip, it’s happening. It’s a private apartment in Milan by Quincoces-Dragò & Partners.
