When she’s not on location for photo shoots or soaking in inspiration on her many travels, creative consultant, Michelle Adams, masterfully tackles her projects in the comfort of her quaint home in Michigan. Working with California Closets design consultant, Janice Fischer, Michelle set out to transform an underutilized room into a fresh and functional office that would keep her organized and motivated. Considering the space’s visible sight-line from most of the first floor, Michelle wanted a sleek system that would allow optimal storage, plenty of work space and an unobstructed view to outside. Janice first addressed the room’s initial challenges, which included large windows spanning two of the three walls that were also low to floor where the system would be installed. Working closely with Michelle on an inventory of everything for the office, Janice realized that there were also items Michelle needed to store that were unique in size, such as portfolios. After their consultation, however, Janice proposed three, custom options to best suit the space and Michelle’s needs. To achieve a timeless, contemporary look, Janice used slab faces on the doors and drawers, no hardware and floated the portion of the system with the biggest sight-line that went under the window. Each option also included file drawers and covered shelving space for items Michelle did not want to have on constant display. The completed system design features a chic, low profile and maximizes the room’s space for clean, open look. Simple and uncluttered, the system gives Michelle a place for not only her files, but also her oversized portfolios, supplies and fabric swatches, which are now right at her fingertips.

This is the first in a series of images and IGTV posts showing the transformation of our apartment renovation in Kensington, London. It is not often as an interior designer that you get to totally transform a home from top to bottom. This four-bed apartment situated in one of London’s most prestigious garden squares was a joy to work on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I designed and project-managed the entire renovation. The 2,500sqft apartment was tired and needed a total transformation. My brief was to create a classic contemporary space. The flat was stripped back to the bare bones; we removed the old flooring and installed full soundproofing throughout the apartment. I then laid a dark Wenge parquet flooring and kept the walls in a light off-white paint to keep the apartment light and airy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I decided to retain the original mouldings on the walls and paint the areas (walls, moulding and covings) in the same colour. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This first image shows the Bolection-style fireplace with the dark slate contrast hearth and slips. I balanced the room by placing two dark wood sideboards and a dark round mirror above the fireplace as a punchy contract to the pale walls.

PIÈCE DE VIE Un sol pas tout à fait droit recouvert d'un carrelage rustique, des murs décorés d’un épais crépi, aucune pierre apparente et des poutres recouvertes d'une épaisse peinture brun foncé : il était nécessaire d’avoir un peu d’imagination pour se projeter vers ce résultat. L'objectif du client était de redonner le charme de l'ancien tout en apportant une touche de modernité. La bonne surprise fut de trouver la pierre derrière le crépi, le reste fut le fruit de longues heures de travail minutieux par notre artisan plâtrier. Le parquet en chêne posé en pointe de Hongrie engendre, certes, un coût supplémentaire mais le rendu final en vaut largement la peine. Un lave linge étant essentiel pour espérer des voyageurs qu’ils restent sur des durées plus longues Côté décoration le propriétaire s'est affranchi de notre shopping list car il possédait déjà tout le mobilier, un rendu assez minimaliste mais qui convient à son usage (locatif type AIRBNB).

寝室のみを1階へ、他のすべての機能は2階へ １階は塀を設けず、寝室のみを配置したことで、外構にゆとりができ、街の人も住まい手も楽しめるお庭を作ったり、駐車場をつくったり、お隣のご両親宅へとつながる道を設けたりすることができます。車のない時には子供たちの遊び場にもなります。 2階は、十分な採光や通風を取り入れることができます。さらに、周辺の住人と1、2階の生活時間帯が逆転することで、お互いのプライバシーを確保できます。 道路や隣地との境界をあいまいにし、お互いが環境を享受しあう住まいの提案です。

ANTES: En la vivienda original, el espacio que ahora ocupa el espacio abierto de la zona de día se distribuía en estancias pequeñas. Una pequeña cocina, separada del resto del hogar. Un largo y oscuro pasillo sin ninguna gracia, a la entrada de la vivienda. Y la terraza quedaba en un segundo plano.
