Words by Wilson Hack The best architecture allows what has come before it to be seen and cared for while at the same time injecting something new, if not idealistic. Spartan at first glance, the interior of this stately apartment building, located on the iconic Passeig de Gràcia in Barcelona, quickly begins to unfold as a calculated series of textures, visual artifacts and perfected aesthetic continuities. The client, a globe-trotting entrepreneur, selected Jeanne Schultz Design Studio for the remodel and requested that the space be reconditioned into a purposeful and peaceful landing pad. It was to be furnished simply using natural and sustainable materials. Schultz began by gently peeling back before adding only the essentials, resulting in a harmoniously restorative living space where darkness and light coexist and comfort reigns. The design was initially guided by the fireplace—from there a subtle injection of matching color extends up into the thick tiered molding and ceiling trim. “The most reckless patterns live here,” remarks Schultz, referring to the checkered green and white tiles, pink-Pollack-y stone and cast iron detailing. The millwork and warm wood wall panels devour the remainder of the living room, eliminating the need for unnecessary artwork. A curved living room chair by Kave Home punctuates playfully; its shape reveals its pleasant conformity to the human body and sits back, inviting rest and respite. “It’s good for all body types and sizes,” explains Schultz. The single sofa by Dareels is purposefully oversized, casual and inviting. A beige cover was added to soften the otherwise rectilinear edges. Additionally sourced from Dareels, a small yet centrally located side table anchors the space with its dark black wood texture, its visual weight on par with the larger pieces. The black bulbous free standing lamp converses directly with the antique chandelier above. Composed of individual black leather strips, it is seemingly harsh—yet its soft form is reminiscent of a spring tulip. The continuation of the color palette slips softly into the dining room where velvety green chairs sit delicately on a cascade array of pointed legs. The doors that lead out to the patio were sanded down and treated so that the original shape and form could be retained. Although the same green paint was used throughout, this set of doors speaks in darker tones alongside the acute and penetrating daylight. A few different shades of white paint were used throughout the space to add additional depth and embellish this shadowy texture. Specialty lights were added into the space to complement the existing overhead lighting. A wall sconce was added in the living room and extra lighting was placed in the kitchen. However, because of the existing barrel vaulted tile ceiling, sconces were placed on the walls rather than above to avoid penetrating the existing architecture.

Example of a minimalist home design design in Miami

This gorgeous contemporary custom wine cellar features a slew of modern touches, from the sleek and seamless style the vintageview racking provides, to the floor to ceiling display, to the dual paned insulated glass front. Everything about this custom wine room screams "Here I am!" The design also allows for intimate wine decanting inside the cellar itself. This custom wine cellar was constructed in Carlsbad, San Diego, California. It is comprised of vintageview metal wine racks, stone flooring, and some wooden custom wine racking. The entryway wall and custom wine cellar door are of seamless, tempered and insulated dual pane glass.The result is a sleek wine storage space, and a distinctly contemporary wine cellar design by Vintage Cellars. Glass enclosed cellars are becoming the hottest new trend in proper wine storage. Seen in many high end contemporary homes, this style beautifully showcases the wine's individual labels, with the unique metal horizontal display label forward design. Small wine rooms encased in glass are unique in their behind the scenes design and installation. After the room has been built properly, ensuring proper cooling can be troublesome without the proper guidance from a wine cellar expert. The wine cellar specialists and wine cellar builders at Vintage Cellars are extremely knowledgable and qualified in calculating the best possible fit for each unique space. Most often, glass enclosed wine cellars need to be fitted with a larger cooling unit than may seem necessary. Glass - even when dual paned and insulated - is not a great insulator. Understanding the ins and outs of wine cellar construction and wine cellar design from a knowledgeable company like Vintage Cellars is key in ensuring your wine cellar runs smoothly and your wine investment is properly taken care of. This space also boasts a nice little countertop with glass front cabinet storage above and diamond bins and drawers below. Pull out a bottle or two, set up a nice charcuterie and cheese plate, invite a few friends over - you've got the makings of an incredible night!

Example of a transitional kitchen design in Miami

灣仔廈門街(286呎) ‘麻雀雖小，但五臟俱全’ 今次設計是為一個超過40年樓齡的唐樓單位進行翻新，按照業主的要求，將原來的廚房及廁所擴大。由於地方有限，設計師將單位拆掉大部分的牆身，並用人體工學去計算每個空間。 利用電視櫃連接主人房升高地台，大幅提升儲物量。此外利用全高衣櫃代替磚牆區分睡房及客廳，節省空間和成本同時也有具有一定隔音的效果 (櫃內的被鋪及衣服作吸音)。 為了令細單位視覺上感覺更寬敞，中心點是客飯廳與電視之間的通道。同時設計師刻意在用色及物料上加強其連貫性。白色，米色水磨石，兩種楓木色及黏土色作基礎，並用深灰及黑色突顯大自然色的鮮明度。 緊記在安排空間時，除每個空間的燈光佈局外，窗也是主要考量之一。善用自然光，除了節省能源外，用家也能夠在享受每個早上的晨光 更多設計細節照片已在官網: https://www.brginterior.com/amoystreet Amoy St., WanChai (286 sq feet) ‘small but complete in every detail’ The design is to renovate a tenement building unit over 40 years old. Expanding the original kitchen and toilet in accordance with the owner's requirements. In order to make good use of 286 square feet, our designer had locked down most of walls in unit and calculated each space in ergonomic way. The TV cabinet is connected to the raising platform in master room, which greatly increases the storage capacity. Meanwhile, a full-height wardrobe is used instead of a brick wall to distinguish bedrooms and living rooms. It is not only saving space and cost but also providing a certain sound insulation effect (Don’t forget the bedding and clothes in wardrobe are sound-absorbing too!). In order to make small units visually more spacious, the focal point is the passage between dining area and TV. Meanwhile, our design deliberately strengthens their coherence in color and material. Using white, terrazzo in beige, two types of maple and clay color as the foundation (natural color), and highlighting its vividness by using color or material in dark gray, chrome and black. And keep in mind that when arranging lighting layout of each space, windows are also one of the main considerations. Making good balance in use of natural light is not only helping to save energy and most importantly users also enjoy sunlight coming every morning.
