Originally designed by the renowned, late architect, Wayne Gillespie, the Pickford Residence has undergone a seamless extension by architectural practice Watson Young Architects. Built by Bloom Projects, this residence perfectly blends its original features with contemporary details, creating a fresh and luxurious family home. Framed around an incredible courtyard space, this U-shaped home enables a real sense of connectedness, whilst also offering a whole lot of space for the kids to play and the parents to relax. With interiors by Lisa Buxton Interiors, each room beautifully considers the details from the buildings past, such as the use of the classic Gillespie brass. We love the way this beautiful material palette pairs so flawlessly wi... En savoir plus

The project came about with the development of a large residential block close to the Elwood foreshore and Port Philip Bay. The brief simply requested a spacious apartment product that was cutting edge and contemporary, but subtle both inside and out. The concept of a large apartment resulted in six single level dwellings, each with the proportions of a small house. The apartments are low maintenance, functionally adaptable to appeal to a range of potential residents, and highly sustainable. Externally, rather than go for a standard “stacked wedding cake” form, the building was set back significantly from the adjoining properties on the lower levels. This allowed the main volume of the building to have vertical sides and reduce... En savoir plus

'A previously dated but solidly built 90’s style house with ‘good bones’ has been renovated with minimal structural changes but with a comprehensive interior design program. Our clients purchased a large, solidly built and well-located beach house. However, the kitchen was impractical, the large bar unnecessary and the finishes were colourful – the house had the sensibility of a 90’s office interior rather than a home near the beach. Our repeat clients trusted we would give the house a more relaxed and warm feel as well as creating practical spaces for a family that likes to cook and entertain.  As the house was quite large we had sufficient space to enlarge the kitchen and include the client’s sele...

Situated on the third floor of a classic Grade-II Listed building in West London, this apartment is set across what was once four separate houses. The expansive lateral layout emphasises the extraordinary sense of space.  The living areas communicate through sets of large double doors, so the space can feel private when necessary, but also has a sociable, open flow to it.  The rooms are punctuated with charismatic pockets of colour: a rich brown in the sitting room and subtle peach emerging in the dining room.  Marble and touches of burnished brass are combined with rich fabrics including bouclé, velvet and wool to enhance the sense of feminine elegance and comfort.    For this residential project an Artico...

Timeless with a twist. Melding a classic yet contemporary interior from which to appreciate a jaw-dropping view of the city skyline, this family home was designed to last a lifetime. Responding to a brief for the ultimate in quality of finishes and furnishings whilst mindfully avoiding a gallery of showpieces, we grounded our aesthetic in the European inflexion of the architectural language. Layering an energetic and warm palette with the selection of playful art, we balanced fine materiality and specification of timeless bespoke furniture pieces, to carefully shape a resounding sense of home for this busy family of six.   Words - Decus InteriorsArchitecture - Luigi Rosselli ArchitectsBuilder - Critharis ConstructionPhotography - An...

This collaborative process allows architects and interior designers from across the world to respond to site specific needs or the simple desire for something truly one of a kind.   For this residential project in Australia by Conrad Architects, Articolo lighting was specified for its atmospheric, jewel-like qualities, contemporary linearity and orb-like elements in step with the other circular punctuations of the scheme such as round skylights and mirrors, and a sculpted central stairwell. The pièce de résistance is a bespoke installation of fifty ‘Fizi’ ball lights sus...

Triangular at first sight in cross-section building has no sharp corners. They are rounded and closed with a mesh structure that softens t... En savoir plus

This apartment, designed by Andrey Porvatov, is located in the private residential complex of “Brodsky” in Moscow.  One of the main advantages of it is the panoramic view. For this reason, choosing the right lighting solution, Andrey needed a transparent lamp that did not block this view.   The choice fell on Mountain view by Dima Loginoff. Its unique design fits perfectly into the living room, characterized by luxurious finishes and furniture such as the wooden decorative panel, with a fireplace portal, made of a natural stone slab.    Project by: Andrey Porvatov, “TADAproject” project office En savoir plus

In these photos, we can see the living room projected by Olga Lapshova for an apartment near Moscow. Before the renovation, this 50 sqm three-room apartment was narrow and dark. For this reason, the starting point was easy to find for Olga Lapshova: she needed to give back light to all the rooms.   The redesign of the areas became the first objective, trying to restore as much space as possible. In this regard, the living room and the kitchen, previously separated, have been reunited, creating one single space wider and brighter. A partition glass door was foreseen anyway, just in case of necessity.   To visually expand the limited spaces, Olga wisely used uniform colors and pastel shades, in addition to mirrors that are prese...
