Editor’s letter

Sophie Lewis Managing Editor @sophlew_says

We’re launching this issue of est magazine off the back of Melbourne Design Week 2022, showcasing Australian and international contemporary artists, designers and makers responding to: “Design the World You Want”. Highlights included ‘Futures Collective’ which welcomed the ‘Plastic Rivers’ rugs by Spanish designer Álvaro Catalán de Ocón in collaboration with GAN and the inaugural Melbourne Design Fair, curating collectables such as the all-metal Firescale series by designer Ella Saddington with armourer Sam Bloomfield and Olive GillHille’s sculptural ‘TRUNK’ series.

These expressive works reaffirmed what we set out to explore in this issue, ‘Modern Craft’. We magnify the design details that underpin our experience in the kitchen by tracing craftsmanship, original design thinking and a dedication to raw, honest and reclaimed materials.

We walk through 12 kitchens from different corners of the globe to see how designers confront our understanding of this space, and at the same time, we deconstruct the elements of a kitchen into a definitive resource; ‘The est Best 50 Kitchen Fixtures, Lighting, Products and Materials’. Through our Detail pages, we appreciate how even the smallest details can leave a lasting impression in the kitchen.

We enter an Ibizan villa where Dutch designers Framework Studio employ traditional building methods to impart deep respect for landscape and history. These same principles take us to a family home in Paris that adheres to the classical codes of its architecture through bespoke intervention. A dedication to refined detailing also transcends a Sydney home by architect Madeleine Blanchfield to conjure ‘palpable’ calm and character.

This intuitive, human-centred approach to design continues to inspire us – and finds its way onto every page in this issue.

Where Architects Live

A Detailed Lens

BY YVETTE CAPRIOGLIO STYLE EDITOR

An eye for detail manifests in many ways. Apply the same lens any great designer does regardless of discipline and make materiality key when looking for new or consignment pieces to add to your wardrobe. Think about the craft behind the clothing with an enduring yet contemporary approach. Consider brands and lean towards pieces that sit at the crossroad of cohesive design integrity and materiality, ones that innately transcend fashion through form and function while preserving artisanal craft and process.

WORLD’S EDGE

At the edge of Spain’s Balearic Sea sits a villa that is a testament to artisanal craftsmanship.

DESIGN | Framework Studio PHOTOGRAPHY | Thomas De Bruyne

WORDS | Holly Beadle

The home’s traditional stonework exterior and garden walls set the tone for the artisanal details within.

Can Brut, the most recent project from Paris and Amsterdam-based Framework Studio lies in the centre of an 85,000 square-metre plot overlooking the Balearic Sea. The family villa adheres to a design vernacular that is both steeped in tradition and tethered to now.

Most who descend on the island of Ibiza are looking for an escape from reality and for the family of Can Brut, their story is no different; the villa is their secluded sanctuary by the sea. As one of the smallest beaches on the island, the area remains largely unfrequented by travellers, rendering it a private cove for locals. The seabed is inlaid with smooth stone, making swimming and snorkelling an all-yearround affair. The pool area draws inspiration from its sequestered locale; the ocean materialises in Verde Lapponia tiles, while the beach materialises in sandstone and Travertino Romano. The garden has all the hallmarks of Balearic island life, with lush romantic flowers and winding sandstone corridors. “We tried to capture the Balearic feel in the material palette,” Framework Studio senior architect and interior designer Alexandra Ramos says, striving for “comfortability and simplicity.”

The custom kitchen designed by Framework Studio features a material mix of oak, gunmetal and Travertino Romano. A vintage Alla Gould lounge chair and Arno de Clercq Senufo stool feature in the foreground.

The dining room features a wooden table crafted by the late Brazilian architect Jose’ Zanine Caldas and vintage Pierre Jeanneret chairs.

Entering Can Brut, light floods the hallway creating an easy passage into the kitchen and living area. Curved ceilings reference traditional building methods and attribute an open, airy feel to the villa. Hidden skylights create depth, while internal elevations create contrast. An ongoing engagement with the outdoors is achieved through a direct line between indoor and outdoor spaces. Standing in the kitchen or living area, views of the pool and outdoor dining area are framed from all angles. “The view gives you this magical feeling of being completely secluded; of being off the beaten track,” Alexandra says. An ocean backdrop and century-old Sabina trees certainly affirm this.

With a focus on craftsmanship, Framework Studio have paired custom woodwork with minimalist sculptural pieces – a vintage Wiener Werstatten sofa, and a one-of-a-kind wall art piece by Nerone Patuzzi – consummating an unpretentious and organic interior.

Vintage, pre-loved pieces are the guiding motif, while honest materials are the foundation. Framework Studio’s philosophy is grounded in “enabling the true identity of materials to come through”; from the way they are treated to the way they are presented.

Can Brut by Framework Studio bears witness to the synergy between craftsmanship and context, attesting to the importance of being present in the world around us.

A curation of vintage objects in the living room includes the circa 1970 vintage sculptural sectional sofa by Wiener Werstätten, vintage Conoid lounge chair by George Nakashima, Vincenzo de Cotiis coffee table and vintage wooden wall art piece by Nerone & Patuzzi.

The Arno Declercq Senufo stool is a recurring theme in the villa, as is the custom woodwork designed by Framework Studio, including the headboard in fabric and elmwood.

The bathroom palette is consistent with the kitchen, featuring gunmetal fixtures, oak and Travertino Romano.

HOVE

BY Antwerp, Belgium

BENOIT VIAENE

The Hove kitchen’s arched ceiling isn’t what you’d typically expect in a home on the outskirts of Antwerp. “It surprises every guest, and the monumentality combined with the materials awaken an emotive response,” Belgian designer Benoit Viaene says.

Naturally, Benoit set out to create a kitchen unique in form and experience. While the arch sets the tone, it’s accentuated by the materials and finishes, from the custom clay plaster, smoked oak veneer “left as natural as possible to keep the gradation in the wood” to the brushed Travertine benchtops. The kitchen floors are a custom mix of gravel, hand polished to give an imperfect, waved appearance. “Although monumental in space, the palette of materials, kitchen design and wall finish create a more intimate atmosphere,” Benoit adds.

A custom wine cellar, dining table, kitchen tap and central pendant have been specially designed for the space. Benoit credits the craftspeople they worked with to pull off this level of detail. “An idea or a design can be strong on a drawing board or presentation, but in the end, the skills of craftspeople make it real,” he says. “They are a key element in making a design real.”

WOOLLAHRA HOUSE

BY Sydney, Australia

AP DESIGN HOUSE

The Woollahra kitchen by AP Design House takes cues from its past life as a gallery space through a minimal aesthetic, heralded by custom stainless steel joinery. Taking form in a space that was dark and narrow, the stainless steel plays an unexpected role in reflecting light and movement.

AP Design House director Alexandra Ponting draws attention to the intricacies of the craftsmanship, where the stainless steel benchtop sits flush with the door and drawers below. “The benchtop seamlessly integrates into a custom stainless sink; a thing of beauty, but also unbelievably practical,” Alexandra says. She also admires the relationship between the joinery and cooker. “The custom joinery hugs the French Lacanche cooker with such precision that it appears it was made for the oven,” Alexandra adds.

Creamy Tadelakt and micro-cement finishes and olive terrazzo tiled flooring anchor the stainless steel’s soft and sharp lines, just as the custom-made and antique Italian furniture and lighting. “The antique furniture and lighting boast charm and intrigue; a refreshing and homely contrast to the foundations.”

The stainless steel’s strong lines are softened by micro-cement joinery, as well as a Tadelakt rangehood, splashback and floating shelf.

“I love the reflective nature of stainless steel and the light and movement it creates.”

DIRAND RESIDENCE BY

JOSEPH DIRAND

Paris, France

French architect Joseph Dirand is always concerned with how the senses respond to space, particularly through the quality of light, informing his restrained yet elegant interiors. This couldn’t be more clear than in his own kitchen, located on Paris’ Right Bank with front-row views of the Eiffel Tower.

The architect is known for collecting cuts of marble and saving them for the right opportunity – just like the Breccia Stazzema marble he selected for his kitchen island, which he had stored away for five years prior. The marble island symbolises Joseph’s belief that “craftsmanship and its wide range of expertise are a genuine laboratory of ideas”, reflected in the stone’s polished curved edges and detailing beneath. The scorched stainless steel cabinets also attest to his signature approach to materiality, grounded by the Versailles parquet flooring. Above, a chandelier by Philippe Anthonioz and Joseph’s own Gelule wall light nearby affirm how Joseph’s classic French design is always grounded by artisans, classic and contemporary.

PROJECT M

BY Oudenburg, Belgium

FREDERIC KIELEMOES

Belgian designer Frederic Kielemoes says his Project M kitchen exists as a series of balancing juxtapositions; “Contemporary, yet timeless. Minimal, yet warm. Graphic, yet calm. Calculated, yet intuitive.” For this, he derived inspiration from how we seek tactile, familiar touch points away from the virtual world. “This longing for familiarity translated into a study on materiality. I did this mostly by opposing raw materials, often with a history, with refined contemporary materials,” he says.

Reclaimed old French flagstones on the floor meet untreated iron and solid worn oak, limewashed cupboards and expressive marble that intersects in a series of pieces. Above, solid timber slats line the ceiling, “directly cut from a tree”. An important aspect of the kitchen is also the nearby fireplace, “almost as sacred and symmetrical as an altar,” Frederic says. Deliberately, Frederic has hidden as much modern technology as possible – heating, ventilation, appliances, lighting – so that the space elicits relaxation and ease.

“Contemporary, yet timeless. Minimal, yet warm. Graphic, yet calm. Calculated, yet intuitive.”

– Frederic Kielemoes

The kitchen features a palette of raw and reclaimed materials; French flagstones, solid worn oak, expressive marble, untreated iron and limewashed surfaces.

LEINSTER SQUARE TOWNHOUSE

BY London, UK

BANDA

Banda follows the mantra that homes and spaces are not just to be lived in, but to be loved. It’s through working with craftspeople and the provenance of the materials, that they achieve this. “Craftsmanship is everything,” CEO and creative director Edo Mapelli Mozzi says, leading the redesign of an 1850s townhouse, with its high ceilings, period windows and historic garden square vistas.

The cantilevered Calacatta Oro marble Obumex ‘Joseph Dirand’ kitchen, is the space’s dramatic centrepiece. “It gives the notion of solidity and quality, the roots of the home, and then the softer, contrasting features of the vintage wooden pieces and fabrics,” Edo says. “The kitchen is a celebration of natural materials, colours and textures – marble, bronzes, vintage and antique woods.”

There’s even a bespoke bar that can be completely shut away behind a hidden door when not in use. “The kitchen is the perfect blend of old and new, hard and soft,” Edo reflects. “It is a place to come together, to gather, cook, talk, entertain, have fun but also seek respite.”

“The kitchen is a celebration of natural materials, colours and textures – marble, bronzes, vintage and antique woods.”

BRICK 99

BY East Flanders, Belgium

AM DESIGNS

Brick 99 by Belgian studio am designs takes in views of the Scheldt river, in the country’s East Flanders region. The entire apartment is designed around this outlook, inviting natural light through large openings and terraces.

The kitchen exists as part of the open plan living and dining area, so every effort was made to conceal it being a workspace. “I wanted the kitchen to integrate seamlessly,” am designs founder Mark Mertens adds, concealing Gaggenau appliances behind the floor-to-ceiling wall joinery that runs along the side of the kitchen.

am designs visualised the kitchen as “pieces of free-standing furniture”, achieved through a signature palette of Douglas fir timber and Pietra Dei Medici stone, warmed by brushed brass fixtures. “Ultimately, the stone and timber needed to connect with the large outside terraces and surrounding nature,” Mark adds.

The Brick 99 kitchen was designed to not appear as a workspace. All appliances are concealed behind joinery which forms one wall in the apartment’s open plan kitchen and living area.

RUSTIC CANYON

BY Los Angeles, USA

WALKER WORKSHOP

Walker Workshop’s president Noah Walker describes their Rustic Canyon kitchen as a sacred place. As the tallest room in the house, Walker Workshop designed and installed the expansive steel-framed windows, crediting natural light for the creation of their ‘Kitchen Cathedral’. “Rustic Canyon is nestled among some of the most beautiful Southern California flora and fauna,” Noah says. “We chose to pull dappled natural light from the outside environment into the core of the home. It was imperative to pull that light into the house.”

The material palette was selected for how it collected, reflected or observed the light. “We chose the softer, lighter-coloured wood veneer that was consistent in colour and a white, almost ephemeral stone to complement,” Noah says. Fundamentally, Rustic Canyon also challenges traditional perceptions of a kitchen’s purpose. “The great lesson we learned is a kitchen doesn’t have to prescribe to outdated notions of what a kitchen should be for it to be functional, exciting, and unexpected,” Noah adds.

Concealed elements in the kitchen were a key consideration. Ventilation was the first, followed by a pantry hidden behind a cabinet door panel, allowing the main kitchen to be “as minimal as possible”. A hidden roller shade on the outside of the kitchen’s expansive glass protects it from the heat.

APARTMENT MARIPOSA

BY Cannes, France

CAPRINI &PELLERIN

‘Apartment Mariposa’ lies within a 1970s architectural icon designed by Sir Basil Spence and Eugène Lizero, in Cannes, France. The Brutalist-Modernist style of the building informed Caprini & Pellerin interior treatment. “The apartment was designed so that it would age with authenticity,” Caprini & Pellerin co-director Kevin Caprini says. “It was very important the result gave the impression that everything had always been there.”

In Kevin’s words, they’re “defenders of ancestral techniques”. “We like to apply them or reinterpret them,” he says. It’s how they worked with their 70s-inspired material palette; ash grey Dordogne stone, upcycled oak, patinated bronze, Travertine and walnut wood. “We used handmade bottle green tiles by New Terracotta, laid one by one for an artisanal touch and to create depth,” Kevin adds.

Designed for Caprini & Pellerin co-director Jerry Pellerin’s mother, he says what lies within the kitchen drawers tells its story best. “I know all of her objects and utensils and I took all of these into consideration,” Jerry says. “For example, moulds of her silverware and spice jars were taken so that they all fit snugly.”

Lime plaster covers the walls, ceiling and rangehood, while green tiles laid by hand echo the outdoor vegetation. All kitchen surfaces are clad in Travertine, with the Gaggenau cooktop integrated within.

“The apartment was designed so that it would age with authenticity. It was very important to us that the result gave the impression that everything had always been there.”

LUNE 1860

BY Rural Ontario, Canada

STUDIO AUTHOR

Studio Author’s co-founders Alex Simpson and Jayme Million were inspired by the moon in their restoration of an 18th-century stone manor in rural Goderich, Ontario, Canada. The now private residence and special events space nods to the state it was found through an underlying theme of imperfection that reflects the textures of the moon. Studio Author co-founder Jayme Million says this is most notable in the kitchen’s large raw brass island – the showpiece – designed to patina. “We used unlacquered brass, which will transform beautifully over time, further adding to the character and story of the space,” Jayme says.

Marble slabs were broken by hand and layered to create a unique backsplash, “not dissimilar from the rocky terrain of the moon”, underpinned by contrasting stone floor tiles and hand-applied limewashed walls. “We knew that we wanted the focus to be on the finishes,” Jayme says. “Integrated finger pulls and appliances, the absence of upper cabinets and the island’s monolithic form allowed the natural, tactile surfaces to stand out,” Jayme says.

Studio Author took inspiration from the moon for their Lune 1860 kitchen, as seen in the contrasting light and dark stone floor tiles, limewashed walls and raw marble backsplash detail.

BRUSSELS APARTMENT

BY Brussels, Belgium

ÆSTUDIO

Æ Studio, led by interior designers Arno Broeckhoven and Ellen Van Laer, were tasked with designing the “perfect hideaway” from the city centre in Brussels, Belgium. In an apartment that deliberately eschews the hustle, Æ Studio derived calm from patina and texture. “The patinated copper was the key ingredient in the kitchen,” Arno says. “The colour, depth and gradient will keep on evolving through the years, while the sleek lines and sharp corners make the welded copper cabinetry dramatic and stylish.”

Arno believes the combination of materials in the kitchen and their bespoke application, including custom patinated copper Vola tapware, are essential to the design outcome.“The combination of the plaster technique’s soothing tones, and the dramatic copper forge a strong bond. They tell the story of those who live there.”

OLD FACTORY

BY Berchem, Belgium

ARJAAN DE FEYTER

When Arjaan De Feyter was first introduced to the ‘Old Factory’, it consisted of two parts – a terraced house, and a small former steel factory. The designer converted the two into a complete ‘whole’ for the family that now lives there.

Arjaan says the kitchen was deliberately positioned at the centre of the former factory space. “It oversees the house and its users like a captain on a ship,” he adds. The kitchen makes liberal use of Calacatta Viola stone for the island with a custom sink, backsplash, benchtop and shelving. The evocative stone commands attention on a canvas of ebony cabinetry painted using a “special paint technique” and white concrete floors. “Everything happens around the kitchen island, everyone passes by there,” Arjaan says. “That’s why it has also been given striking materials in an otherwise sober context.”

At the centre of the former factory space, the kitchen asserts itself through Calacatta Viola stone and textured black cabinetry, that calls on the Shou Sugi Ban exterior cladding.

“The kitchen is a striking intervention in the former factory space and was deliberately positioned at the centre. It oversees the house and its users like a captain on a ship.”

HOUSE E KITCHEN

CJH STUDIO

Interior designer Cassie James-Herrick is a stickler for details, which comes with leading both her design practice CJH Studio and architecture and interior hardware business, Linear Standard. The House E Kitchen sees both come together inside a heritage home, in a response that highlights the strength of natural materials, contrasted by textural bronze accents.

Cassie selected Quartzite as a hardwearing working surface for the central island, explored through a series of precise, angular intersections. “The kitchen explores an interplay of mixed grain directions in the timber veneer and natural stone, pushing what’s possible with interconnecting planes on the island bench,” Cassie says.

Full-height solid American oak handles were designed for the kitchen and crafted by Grange Joinery, integrated into the wall joinery. “They enhance the bespoke detailing that’s streamlined yet durable in nature,” Cassie says. Linear Standard ‘THIN’ handles were also powder coated in a custom bronze for the return working bench area. The craftsmanship behind the finer details throughout was imperative to the project’s success.

The kitchen features the designer’s own hardware range and custom-designed full height handles in American oak.

ELOQUENCE F RENCH

Drawing from various eras and art movements of the past two centuries results in a rare balance of subtlety and excess.

DESIGN Humbert & Poyet

PHOTOGRAPHY Francis Amiand WORDS Haydn Spurrell

Within the third arrondissement, in the northern section of Paris’s Marais, Humbert & Poyet designers Emil Humbert and Christophe Poyet reworked a two-storey apartment of sublime eloquence, simple in its layout and arresting in its atmosphere.

The design is largely inspired by the Art Deco stylings of a bygone era. Defined by its popularity in the 1920s and 30s and characterised by sleek geometry and form materialised by human ingenuity, it proved a deep well for the designers to draw from.

Humbert & Poyet handpicked the Arabescato marble to serve as a backdrop for the La Cornue range cooker. They custom-designed the Asterios suspension light to hang above the marble island, with BassamFellows Tractor stools. All kitchen cabinets are fitted with brass handles and painted in Farrow & Ball’s Calke Green.

An electric blue Grand Theodore sofa designed by Humbert & Poyet is the focal point in the living room, accompanied by their Theodore armchair and Gabrielle coffee table. A sconce by Gino Sarfatti (1963), painting by Bertrand Lavier and ceramics by Georges Jouve also make an appearance in this space.

A custom marble fireplace designed by Humbert & Poyet reflects their mission to keep traditional craftsmanship alive, by carefully selecting the best artisans and craftspeople.

The dining room features Humbert & Poyet’s metallic Apolline table, paired with the Superleggera chairs by Gio Ponti for Cassina. Wall art by Katja Strunz.

Apartment Turenne features ornate frames, hardware by I1 Fanale, lighting and suspension by the firm’s in-house Asterios, and decorative furnishings, all of which use noble materials such as marble, terrazzo, wood and brass. “In all of our designs, we think it is important to carefully select the best artisans and craftsmen in order to keep traditional craftsmanship alive,” Emil says. “To source the marble we use for our projects, we work closely with the Carrara quarry where we go ourselves to handpick every slab.” Melded with a precise layout and Parisian-inspired interior design, Humbert & Poyet have captured all of these often disparate qualities and pulled them together harmoniously.

This transcendent balance of material abundance and the warmth accentuated by use of space, is encapsulated by the kitchen – modern in its design, yet balanced with classical inspiration. For the firm, the Arabescato marble is a standout, to serve as a backdrop for the La Cornue range cooker. Lining all of the kitchen’s surfaces, they “used the marble for its richness, colour and overall presence which really helps to bring the space to life,” Emil says. “When you have a party, there’s always a gathering in the kitchen – here, it’s around this incredible marble island,” he adds.

However striking through the abundance of design intricacies, Humbert & Poyet never lose sight of their mission – to craft a family home that speaks to the character of its occupants.

“In all of our designs, we think it is important to carefully select the best artisans in order to keep traditional craftsmanship alive.”

AT HOME WITH WILL DANGAR

INTERIOR DESIGN Alwill Interiors ARCHITECTURE Clayton Orszacky

PHOTOGRAPHY Prue Ruscoe

William Dangar, of landscape design practice Dangar Barin Smith, has a family home The Barn in Sydney’s Bondi that reflects his passions and preoccupations. Working facing a garden of ‘perfect imperfect’ planting he enjoys the blurring of lines from inside to out in a space filled with art and furniture that has evolved over time.

The living and dining space face the garden with silvery tones of blues and greys in the rug and sofa designed by Romy Alwill. The abstract work is by Michael Cusack at Olsen Gallery and just seen outside on the fence is an outdoor sculpture in corten by Caroline Duffy.

You’ve said the block of land you bought in Sydney’s Bondi was an unconventional, pizza-slice shape. What drew you and Julia to it?

Julia found the block. We had been looking for years as Bondi is a very tightly held suburb and level sites with rear access are uncommon. We also liked the proximity to the beach but also the road access to other suburbs to the west, south and north. It was not a popular site due to the shape of the block and I don’t think other interested parties could quite imagine the potential.

You worked with architect Michelle Orszacky of architecture practice Clayton Orszacky on the design of the house a decade ago. What was the creative concept ?

Photographer Murray Fredericks is a good friend and he was showing me images of simple structures on the edges of glaciers from his trip to Greenland.

They reminded me of the barn structures I had grown up with in country NSW and this became the very high-level structural brief to Michelle.

We knew we wanted a timber building that was simply but elegantly detailed. Michelle, Julia and I worked really closely with our building business Robert Plumb Build to deliver the project. We did it with the bare minimum of documentation as there was great deal of trust within the team. We also had an amazing friend of mine Paul Sheather who we employed as our foreman. He died not long after we completed the house which was very sad. We have an apprentice award named in Paul’s honour within our building team which is given annually.

You have long supported the work of interior designer Romaine Alwill who did both the original fit-out and recent updates – what was the original brief?

Romy and I met while working at Belle magazine. Our careers have developed together and we have been friends for several decades. Julia and I love her unfussy style: it’s elegant yet unpretentious and not overwhelming. Originally when the kids were smaller we had a slightly less refined interior – more robust. But as they are now older we have recently updated much of the furniture to be a little more sophisticated with a bespoke sofa designed by Romy and with some iconic furniture pieces such as the Borge Mogensen Spanish chair.

The entrance boasts a bolt of vibrant orange with a sculpture by Korban Flaubert and a more muted bench in oak from the Robert Plumb Ribbon range.

Over time some things have changed and some have remained. Is the ability to evolve the sign of a good interior?

The built-in components of our house are timeless and have remained. The joinery is hand painted and we have combined this with solid timber and stone which never dates. This makes updating as simple as bringing in some key pieces and selecting items that will be with us for life.

Art plays a big role in the interior. What are you and Julia drawn to?

We have just slowly begun collecting more art. We have some really beautiful art and sculpture from Australian artists Michael Cusack, Greg Wood and Indivi Sutton. We are also lucky to have two beautiful images of Murray Fredericks’ Lake Eyre series as well as a very interesting photographic composition from Daniel Shipp in our bedroom. We like sculpture both inside and in the garden with work from Caroline Duffy on an interior wall and a punchy tangerine metal piece by Korban Flaubert in the entrance way.

You often work from home and have meetings here. Is the house conducive to creativity?

It’s a lovely creative space and very sunny in winter. I work from the dining table and when the doors are open to the garden you feel like you are literally in it. I think it’s also nice for my clients to see my garden as it’s very unexpected for Bondi.

For The Barn, the relationship with the garden was always going to be crucial. Large sliding doors ensure the connection is maintained while the planting embodies Will’s philosophy of perfectly imperfect.

What are the garden’s defining elements?

It’s very green and relies on texture and foliage form. It’s also a composition of entirely native plants from Japan and Asia, except for the jacaranda and Ficus which were here when we moved in. I never get sick of looking at it – it is so perfectly imperfect.

You have created a beautiful, contained world with the house and garden but you also spill the landscaping out to the street. What does that achieve?

It’s a trick I often employ where possible on all of my projects. I detest large imposing fences or walls as the first thing you see of a project. Our house is enveloped by a beautiful composition of native plants outside the physical boundary of the site planted in the verge and the narrow strip of garden between the boundary and our fence. The Banksia trees also attract lots of bird life.

Desert Oasis

Dramatic desert views surround a home reminiscent of the iconic architecture of the region.

WORDS Sarah Knight DESIGN Kovac Design Studio STYLING Anita Sarsidi PHOTOGRAPHY Roger Davies

Madison Desert Club by Californian architectural firm Kovac Design Studio is equal parts vacation home and boutique hotel. With a generous nod to the ‘Golden Hollywood’ era of nearby Palm Springs, the two-level residence is hidden deep in the exclusive Coachella Valley of La Quinta.

Overwater pavers lead to the main entrance of Madison Desert Club. Overhead, a large oculus peeps through the foamed aluminium canopy – a signature design element extended over the entire 9,220 square foot home.

Hosting large numbers of guests was at the core of the design brief, seen through the home’s unique flow and layout. “The homeowner’s love for entertaining and outdoor living served as the driving force behind the design,” Kovac Design Studio partner Michael Kovac says. Kovac Design Studio created “a central, double-height gathering space with four flanking casitas housing six bedrooms, separated by outdoor walkways and courtyards for visual and acoustic privacy,” Michael says. Each bedroom features an en-suite, mini bar, private terrace and fire pit – not to mention amenities including a wellness spa, gymnasium and private garden.

A foamed aluminium canopy shelters the entire home, mimicking the cholla cactus skeleton, protecting it from the harsh desert elements while creating intriguing shadow play as the sun moves throughout the day. The retreat takes full advantage of its dramatic mountain panorama. Frameless, oversized glass doors open from the kitchen, dining and living space; they are capable of disappearing completely to create an illusion of being immersed in the landscape.

The great room features a Tufty Time sofa by Patricia Urquiola for B&B Italia resting on a custom Armadillo rug.

In the lounge area, Tom Dixon pendants hint at Hollywood glamour, hanging above reupholstered vintage Groovy chairs by Pierre Paulin. Sheer bronze metal mesh drapery by Whiting & Davis initiates a more intimate space.

A Cremo Delicato marble countertop with waterfall edges creates a centrepiece for the kitchen. Miele dishwasher and cooktop appliances are accompanied by a Dacor oven, refrigerator and freezer.

To negotiate the desert climate, Kovac Design Studio favoured enduring materiality. “We leaned on materials like exposed aggregate exterior plaster for the walls and foamed aluminium for the canopy, neither need any maintenance,” managing partner Thomas Scheider explains. Inside, soft-textured plastered walls meet concrete floors and rich walnut paneled ceilings.

In the kitchen, Cremo Delicato marble countertops reference ‘old Palm Springs’, coupled with stone and warm timber. However, what is most intriguing about this space is the ability for guests to view live chef demonstrations projected onto the motorised cinema screen across the room.

“The design of the home is less about privacy, although that was desired – and more about creating a sense of mystery,” Michael Kovac says. “Encouraging exploration as new spaces and moments are revealed throughout.”

Stairway to the lower level leads to a wellness spa, gym (which opens to a private garden), as well as an entertainment room with custom built-in bunk beds.

Each of the six bedrooms features an en-suite, mini bar, private terrace and fire pit.

WORDS Yvette Caprioglio

once unassuming single-storey house has been thoughtfully transformed into a tranquil and evocative family home. Through a series of juxtapositions, ‘Dusk House’ by Madeleine Blanchfield Architects embraces light and dark, play and rest and indulgence and restraint.

Before its transformation into Dusk House, the mostly dark and cold 1960s residence with little architectural merit, was home to a family of four. After making the decision to undertake a substantial renovation, their brief was to bring warmth and light into the home and create a sense of openness, boldness and connectivity to otherwise unremarkable spaces. The family’s love of art and design also inspired the design approach.

The site sits within a leafy, suburban locale and this provided the opportunity to create new focal points in the interior spaces together with new vistas and spatial layering within the home. The family enjoy large gatherings yet also enjoy intimate time together, so the house needed to be flexible, offering both expansive and cosy spaces.

The kitchen island takes the form of a cube with Calacatta Oro (gold) on all faces.

“Working with the existing plan we wanted to bring clarity and a sense of order to the spaces,” Madeleine Blanchfield says. A series of glass sliding doors aligned to enable the house to be completely open or closed off into more intimate spaces, depending on the time or mood. The glass also enables light to reach the previously dark and disconnected central spaces of the home. Large windows, visual connections and a new void to a second level transformed the rooms into voluminous spaces. “Light plays a crucial role in our work and we thought a lot about its reflective quality upon different finishes, textures and tiles as we designed,” Madeleine says.

The client was very interested in using colour and texture within a refined interior layout, so the material palette was always going to be rich and warm. Dark timber and textured glass bring an inherent sophistication to the space, while white polished plaster and refined detailing engender a natural sense of calm.

The kitchen is a focal point of innovative design in the home. The design team worked together with joinery and stone fabricators to create a perfect alignment of seamless panels and joints which can be seen on the altar-like marble island, where each face is book matched – after a model of the piece was set up using photos of the slabs before being made on site. The home’s powder rooms were a blank canvas for playfulness, with Cipollino marble and deep sea-foam green walls offering a surprise for guests.

“Light and simplicity are fundamental to everything we do and this is reflected in the quiet atmosphere of the Dusk House,” Madeleine says. “Beyond that, we treat each project as an opportunity to showcase the client’s personality and character.”

The client was open to playing with colour and materials. The powder room makes a statement with green Lavanza honed stone and emerald green walls. The Michael Anastassiades sconce and Astra Walker tap appear as jewel-like accents.

PARADISE

hen Thomas Melhorn architect Christian Thomas was asked by clients to pinpoint a site for their dream house it was the start of something special. The search covered a broad stretch of 40 miles up and down the Florida coast, with the only proviso it had views of the ocean and privacy. “After bouncing around for six months I found these two pieces of property, raw land on Jupiter Island that were adjacent but had been separated,” recalls the local architect, adding, “the clients bought it sight unseen and flew down to this forest on the ocean that you couldn’t really see and that’s where it all began.”

The entrance to the Jupiter House features a curation of classic pieces; a late 19thcentury French entry table that resembles a tree stump, a Spanish Chair by Børge Mogensen, Dordogne dining chair by Charlotte Perriand and Poul M. Volther daybed. Artwork by Jean-Marc Louis..

The brief was as compelling as the hunt for the land, a blank page with 10 evocative words that the holiday house should encapsulate rather than a prescriptive list. From a practical sense, the design needed to accommodate the clients, a couple from New Jersey, and three adult children with families of their own. “It was really a game for us to create a house that had all these functions for this wonderful family, yet it feels manageable and very human in scale,” Christian says who was able to execute this with clever planning.

With a nod to the old Florida vernacular in style, the house is divided into two parts with a formal wing parallel to the ocean and a family wing splaying off at an angle. “If you pull into the property you are only addressed with portions of the house at any given time, you only ever see vignettes and that was really intentional to make it feel quite cottage-like,” the architect explains. The varied views this affords is another advantage of the home’s unique siting. “As you circulate through the house you have these different presentations of the ocean,” he says.

In the Jupiter House, materials are layered in their purest form; as seen in kitchen with its timber stained and treated naturally, and wood beams overhead. French stools sit up at the island bench, beneath the Twig 5 chandelier by Apparatus.

Materials and furnishings were selected to reflect the passing of time. “We wanted materials that patina and age because I think it adds to the story, over time those nicks and scratches are reminders of past generations,” Christian shares. This approach is in keeping with the Japanese philosophy wabi-sabi, perfection through imperfection, a philosophy Christian has followed for a long time.

Locally-sourced materials run inside and out, from limed Cypress for walls, ceilings and joinery and American white oak floorboards that are fumed but left raw, to Florida coral stone paving. Christian worked with Alabama-based interior designer Betsy Brown on the rustic but understated palette so it complimented her artful curation of mid-century furniture along with the client’s existing collection of Papua New Guinean art.

A unified collaboration between all involved has created something that speaks for itself. “It’s just one of those unions that came together perfectly where the client was receptive and open to pushing boundaries to try to create something more soulful and it really allowed for our creativity to run,” Christian says. “And as that snowballed it became this magnificent and magical place that feels like it has been there forever.”

The dining nook features the industrial Savoy pendant by Huniford, custom chestnut dining table by Demiurge and Dordogne dining chairs by Charlotte Perriand. A Boisson steel ‘C’ drinks table sits next to the custom window seat.

“The intention of this property was that it was meant to be handed down through generations and this was really built into the materiality.”
