Seamlessly integrating internal and external living is this extension to a 19th century terrace house. Positive and negative space, a double void emphasising height, sleek and stylish modern finishes extending from the original sandstone. A clean lined contemporary take on the inner city courtyard makes the perfect escape from the inner city bustle. Real estate stalking in Paddington, Sydney. Link here while it lasts.
Light, space and views on a small infill lot in Atlanta, Georgia. Simple levels of living climb up and down to provide a home big on style and small in footprint. With the kitchen as the hub architects Cara Cummins and Jose Tavel of TaC Studios have placed entertaining and family gatherings at the heart of this home. A contemporary aesthetic with colour, texture and art bringing the rooms to life. Love the staircase with its handwritten journey.
The Lawns, Highgate Village, London. Owned by leading British designers John and Frances Sorrell, designed by Eldridge Smerin, link via WSJ and Savills via Raina. Cool new house wrapping around existing historical house for a not so cool £8 million. Think I need to see more before I commit my hard earned cash.Unless you're paying.
Recently I blogged some work by NY based architecture and design firm Incorporated (here, here and here) and because I am now a huge fan, I thought I'd feature another of their projects. This one is a fantastic light-filled apartment whose owners clearly enjoy quirky furnishings. I'm really now sure about that Franz West dining set but I have loved that WrongWoods credenza since it first came on the design scene.
Melbourne based interior designer Chelsea Hing is very versatile - check out an eclectic apartment (and restaurant) and a country-style home that Jo featured here in the past. Now it's time for some modern touches, but what I love is that it's not over the top modern. With the addition of some whimsical artwork (including a David Bromley piece), billowing curtains and a funky sofa pit in the media room, it's a not-so-serious take on the style. And of course, how fab to have those moveable walls to open the indoors to the outdoors. (Architected by Richard Kerr)
