We’re back with our recurring blog column! If you’re new here, at the end of each month(ish) we’ll be rounding up all of the articles, designs, reveals, and more that have inspired us in the past thirty days. As we’ve mentioned this mid-winter term is going to be a busy one for our team with lots of new projects to come this spring!! Here’s what caught our attention in the midst of the organized chaos that always is the first month of the new year. Happy reading and stay tuned…
Australia day was Wednesday the 26th so it wouldn’t be right if we didn’t throw a few things in for the roots. Bundanon, the 1,000-hectare arts destination in regional New South Wales, Australia, is taking sustainability to a rather unheard of level. Designed by the Australian firm Kerstin Thompson Architects (KTA), the new Art Museum and Bridge for Creative Learning is intended to respond and adapt to both current and future climate disasters. The design is also completely epic — read the full article here.

Also from the land of AUS and for those of you also into biophilic design — In 2020, DFJ Architects designed this award-winning, open-air, sustainable home dubbed the “Coolamon House”. It’s stunning views of New South Wales’ Tweed Caldera, landscape design and modern material selections were just a few of the elements that called our attention. We’re forever on the lookout for landscape inspiration, and although we’re a little late to the party on this one it had to be included for the central oasis-style courtyard garden!! All the little fescue grasses with the mix of pea and crushed stone is making us want to break ground in our own courtyard right now, but we’ll have to just look for now because unfortunately it is about 12 degrees in Rhody right now.
If you “couldn’t help but wonder” what makes a home feel like home… then you’re in for a good read. The Somerset House founder Alan Eckstein and stylist Haley Loewenthal have an unsurprisingly perfectly curated apartment. Check out the full article on this power couple’s amazing Long Island City duplex and a little bit about the curator himself here.

The wonderful thing about design is that there’s always a place to experiment and play. This round-up of interiors focuses on the way glass allows for a dialogue between light and shadow. Many of these interiors feel very Japanese because the glass forms are rather reminiscent of the shoji screens seen throughout traditional Japanese design. We love how the original style has been re-incarnated through glass.

Have you all seen this Oregon Beach House by Anne McDonald Design? The Pacific Northwest pad has a laid-back elegance that’s full of terracotta tones and wonderful vintage pieces. As you know by now, we’re big fans of exposed natural wood ceilings and we’re loving her use of warmer wood tones throughout the space!

Kyiv based designer Rina Lovko’s use of materials is giving us the stunning minimalist energy we need to slow down and really hone in on the details in material palettes. Check out her feed here.

"Any period of sobriety is generally
followed by heady abandonment"…
Let’s be honest for a second here, though we might not live by them, we all like to look at the new year’s trend forecasts. So, if you’re at all intrigued by design trends this article from Dezeen on how trends and interior design psychology are evolving in the post-pandemic world might just pique your interest.
All the right curves in all the right places. Organic forms are stealing the show (and our hearts) lately with their groovy vibes. We’re seeing them across the board in furniture, lighting, staircases… Just about everything is feeling a bit softer.

This sculpturally modern take on lighting features your grandma’s favorite pastime — crocheting. We’ve recently come across lighting designer Naomi Paul and we’re absolutely in love with her organic, yet geometric forms. Have a look at her studio’s feed if you’re in need of a lighting fix.

Mile high fireplaces will forever have us swooning because they’re just so darn dramatic. Chango and Co’s recent Hamptons Modern project is for the most part very neutral, but there are some hidden pops of color that are SO fun! We’re loving all play with curvilinear and rectilinear forms and obviously all the plaster.
That wraps up some of our favorites for January — we hope you enjoyed reading and viewing as much as we enjoyed compiling all these awesome articles, designs and spaces! Come back next month for more of our top saves and findings.
