Sognate una camera da letto colorata? Grazie all'architetto Jess Thomas sì. La sua casa di Brooklyn è piena di buone idee - si veda il nostro post "Il minimalista sentimentale" - ma è stata la sua camera degli ospiti rosa pallido su rosa a suscitare il nostro interesse. Come dimostra la sua casa, una camera da letto monocromatica trasmette una completezza e una calma invitanti. [...]

Rubate questo look: Una stanza per gli ospiti in mansarda, semplice ed essenziale, in Danimarca
Uno dei nostri spazi scandinavi preferiti degli ultimi anni è la casa di famiglia di Johanne Landbo e Lukas Filip Fernandes a Copenhagen. La loro ristrutturazione consisteva in “non molte cose da sistemare, tranne quelle esteticamente divertenti”, con il risultato di una serie di stanze con pezzi fatti a mano o vintage. La mansarda della casa di città funge da [...]

La cucina della settimana: Una cucina moderna ed elegante con un cuore hippie
Qui a Remodelista cerchiamo tutti di fare scelte a basso impatto, quindi è stato particolarmente emozionante imbattersi di recente in Sustainable Kitchens, un'azienda di progettazione e produzione di cucine con sede a Bristol, in Inghilterra, che dà priorità ai materiali etici.

Prima e dopo: Una cucina galeotta reinventata
Il direttore creativo Jakob Daschek è svedese, la fashion stylist Barbara Abbatemaggio è italiana e la loro cucina rinnovata a New York, progettata dall'architetto Lauren Wegel, pupilla di Annabelle Selldorf, risponde alla sensibilità di entrambi. “L'estetica di Jakob è moderna, mentre Barbara spesso preferisce spazi rustici e romantici con molto calore e comfort”, dice Wegel, “quindi abbiamo preso [...]
Diario della ristrutturazione: Una cucina datata riceve un aggiornamento moderno a Maplewood, NJ
Dopo 15 anni passati ad affittare appartamenti a Brooklyn e a convivere con le scelte progettuali altrui, è stato un sogno che si è avverato quando io e mio marito abbiamo acquistato una casa di 1.000 metri quadrati a Maplewood, nel New Jersey, un sobborgo a 30 miglia da New York. La nostra casa, diciamo scherzosamente, è la più piccola di Maplewood: potrebbe essere [...]
Stile inglese a Seattle: La casa di una coppia da tempo riceve un aggiornamento anglosassone
Trascorrere tutto questo tempo nel proprio alloggio porta a pensare con inquietudine ad apportare migliorie alla casa o a trasferirsi, magari su un altro pianeta. Oggi abbiamo in primo piano la casa di famiglia di una coppia con figli grandi che si sentiva pronta per un cambiamento, ma che ha deciso di non muoversi. La loro casa, un'affascinante ma compatta abitazione del 1915, [...]

L'architetto Simon Astridge è noto soprattutto per la sua Plywood House, una casa a schiera nel sud di Londra che ha resuscitato inserendo tre aggiunte nella struttura esistente (si veda Materiali grezzi in una ristrutturazione vittoriana attenta ai costi). Dall'altra parte della strada, lui e il suo team hanno lasciato il segno su un'altra abitazione. Questa, un'umile casa a un piano [...]
Rimodellamento 101: la cucina a L
Siete alla ricerca di una cucina che offra spazio a più cuochi e spettatori? Prendete in considerazione la versatile forma a L, una configurazione a due pareti che si inserisce ordinatamente in un angolo pur rimanendo aperta allo spazio circostante. La cucina a L funziona particolarmente bene nei loft e negli open-living, dove è spesso circondata da un'isola o da un tavolo da pranzo. Ecco una [...]
House Call: Shoring Up—and Unbuttoning—One of the Most Historic Haciendas in Galisteo, New Mexico
Dani Brubaker spotted artist Patricia Larsen’s handmade interiors here on Remodelista and on Instagram, and recognized a kindred spirit. Patricia specializes in using salvaged materials: she creates rather than buys what she needs and likes her rooms to have a welcomingly unbuttoned look. “Her work is very raw, it’s emotional, and she has this tendency to […]
A Rising-Star Architect Casts Her Own Brooklyn Townhouse in Pinks, Greens, and Grays
What happens when two young architects get to be their own clients? Budget constraints are, of course, a given—so things like learning how to hang wallpaper come into play. So does treating the house as a treasure hunt, and finding out what’s hiding under the carpets and painted mantels. And, of course, experimenting with the […]
Kitchen of the Week: A Minimalist Design by an Annabelle Selldorf Protégé
Lauren Wegel is an architect who loves succinctness. She began her career working for another New York minimalist, Annabelle Selldorf, which is how we met: see A Hardworking Brooklyn Kitchen By A Big Gun Architect.

Eat, Pray, Love: Luxury Linens for Less
It was a trip to the Amalfi Coast that inspired Ariel Kaye, an LA entrepreneur, to start her own line of affordable luxury bed linens.

The clients—a photographer and a solar engineer—exuded a “relaxed intelligence” throughout the design process. When […]

Rubate questo look: La nuova camera da letto dell'appartamento parigino
We recently featured the new Second Residence, a showcase apartment from cult lifestyle store Merci, located in an 18th-century building in the Latin Quarter of Paris.

Diario della ristrutturazione: Rifacimento della cucina della Napa Valley, compresi gli armadietti Ikea
When designers Michael Roché and Jackson Butler were asked to renovate a small Napa Valley house, the mandate was to stay within a tight budget. Built as a cabin in the 1920s, it had been added onto over the years, and when purchased was half renovated and in a state of disarray. Its selling point: the structure is set […]
La cucina della settimana: La fantasiosa cucina da studio di un vetraio a Londra, con tanto di spunti Ikea fai da te
A look inside a maker’s studio almost always reveals far more than the artist’s craft; often, the space surrounding a workbench has been creatively adapted. Jochen Holz’s studio in Stratford, East London, is a case in point. Here, the German-born glassmaker—whose wonky, textured pieces and sculptural neon installations can be found at The New Craftsmen […]
10 pezzi facili: Chiusure per armadietti da cucina
We’re fans of the utilitarian kitchen (think deVol and Plain English), old-fashioned cabinet latches included. In the days before magnet closures, latches—both spring-loaded knobs and shutter bars—were designed to keep cabinet doors closed. Today they’re still utilized for their sturdiness, but also for their retro appeal. Here are our favorites. Above: British Standard Cabinet Latches in […]

Kitchen(s) of the Week: 6 Low-Impact Deconstructed Kitchens
Recently, while thumbing through our newest book, I noticed a commonality in the kitchens featured: The majority of them are without standard built-in cabinets. Instead, these ingeniously cobbled-together spaces use restaurant tables, antique chests, or homemade shelves to store their cooking tools and pantry items. They may not look like the typical kitchen with upper […]
