Hugh Randolph Architects updated this 1935 Greek Revival cottage in Austin, Texas and the result is functional and modern yet honouring its past and maintaining the traditional look of the exterior. This is my favourite type of renovation - traditional facade with an unexpected surprise on the inside (and some great use of under-the-stairs space!). The exterior of this home is absolutely gorgeous. I think this needs to go in my inspiration file.
One more from InForm Design, a townhouse, one of three in a row. Contemporary Australian design done well. I think my favourite bit is the hallway/staircase. I love the sense of transition, the attention given to the process of travel between public and private, the light that floods into what could have been a long, dark corridor.
It's not often that a passage way gets my design senses tingling but I'm loving everything about this one. Often overlooked as purely utilitarian, this glorious light filled space celebrates the journey rather than scurrying towards the destination. See more of the Concrete House 1 by Auhaus Architecture on their website. I'll wait for you here.
A work in progress, this Brooklyn apartment by SABO project plays with blocks both figuratively and literally. Escheresque style expressed through the tile pattern of diamonds and hexagons in the bathroom while stairs and storage in the open plan living and kitchen areas continue the homage to the tumbling block.
Tucked up under these open stairs is a clever little office space while further bespoke cabinetry helps overcome the limitations of this narrow open plan living dining kitchen space. North Fitzroy Residence by Chamberlain Architects. Crafted architectural solutions to enrich daily life.
