Platt Dana Architects

Hope Dana and Kate Platt partnered up in 1999 to create Platt Dana Architects, a firm with a keen eye for modern designs loaded with functionality, as can be seen in their portfolio filled with many incredible New York residences. There are built-in bookshelves in almost every photo - do these ladies ever know how to create great storage in useful places!

Moroccan interpretations

As promised here's Scott Weston's take on the Moroccan riff. Best let him describe his ideas behind this amazing modern interpretation.

"Thought you may like to see our current project nearing completion in Sydney. It's for the editor of Vogue Australia & has symbolic & graphic modern interpretations of Moroccan tile patterns throughout the home.

We have reinterpreted old palace tile patterns & they appear as strong graphic:
1. Linear components
2. Coved monochromatic bathroom walls & floor
3. Backlit suspended ceilings
4. Dado walls to the courtyard.

The project will be published in Vogue Australia later in the year when completed. These are my office photographs during the construction phase."

Thanks Scott! It's an inspiring space. I can't wait to see the feature in Vogue magazine.

This is a post about an architecture firm - but what is most notable is the decor in these photos from their portfolio. I have but three words....

FAB U LOUS!

Steve Learner Studio

Steve Learner Studio, a New York based architecture and interior design firm began in 1995 and has had much success, resulting in many magazines publications such as Elle Decor, In Style Home, House & Garden and Interior Design. I love that they use neutral colour palettes in main spaces but bold vibrant colours in smaller spaces such as bathrooms. And hats off to them for using furniture in their designs that read modern but it all looks so plush and cosy.
