It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend then it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Alémais HQ by YSG.

Refined Spanish Revival

Posted on Wed, 22 Oct 2025 by midcenturyjo

Abbie Naber of A. Naber Design undertook this comprehensive interior and exterior renovation in La Quinta, encompassing furnishings, kitchen and bathroom upgrades. The design preserves the integrity of the original Spanish architecture while enriching it with layered pattern, texture and colour. Mediterranean details were thoughtfully aligned with contemporary elements to create depth, harmony and continuity. The completed home offers a refined expression of its architectural character.

The Studio’s first ground-up build finds both solace and togetherness in a one-room pavilion envisioned as a family retreat unfolding in the garden behind the main home, enveloped and enlivened in a thatch of greenery. A pleasing admixture of provenance and period fulfills the desire to “mess up the hair of the house”: custom furniture of the Studio’s own design — a sofa the color of saffron, tactile tables hewn from local lava stone; vintage Postwar examples — Pierre Chapo, Jeanerret, Noguchi. A bar of locally-sculpted brass rings a half-round form that hugs the structure, creating a self-contained entertaining space. Terracotta tiles in the bathroom tap into the heritage of Mexican craft. Barragan-inspired shutters frame the windows, a custom pattern Nepalese silk rug stretches across the floor like a sun-baked field.

Modern living rooted in tradition

Posted on Tue, 14 Oct 2025 by midcenturyjo

Set amid the sweeping Texas landscape, Heritage Ranch by Angeline & Co. redefines modern ranch living through a seamless blend of heritage and innovation. The stone-clad exterior and metal roofing evoke classic ranch architecture, while expansive windows and outdoor living spaces frame the home’s natural beauty. Inside, layers of texture—stone, wood, and soft textiles—create warmth and rhythm, anchored by a monumental fireplace. The primary suite offers a serene, spa-like retreat, while a bespoke bar and cigar room introduce moody sophistication. Children’s spaces bring color and playfulness, each crafted with lasting intention. From the resort-inspired pool to the hand-finished interiors, Heritage Ranch embodies Angeline & Co.’s signature balance of authenticity, craftsmanship, and contemporary ease.
