Architect Pat Bernatz (@pbernatz)first showed up on my radar back in 2020, when I came across his pitch-perfect, trend-proof redesign of an old Arts & Crafts-style house in Los Angeles for a client. It is among my favorite projects I’ve written about, though his latest work, on his own home, may top it. The restoration of his 1890 house has all the hallmarks of his prior project—quiet interiors, handsome window shutters, modest proportions, natural materials, a warm palette, all interpreted in an “Old California” style—but it has the added benefit of stunning views. Here’s a before and after! Visit our bio for more details! Words by @fanwinston Photography by Yoshihiro Makino (@yoshihiromakino), courtesy of Bernatz Studio.

Steal This Look - A Well-Lit Office with Minimalist Appeal: Lea Korzeczek and Matthias Hiller of Studio Oink (@studiooink) are masters of playful minimalism so when a Brooklyn couple called on the designers to remodel their 1930s row house, their take on a home office follows suit. The office sits on a mezzanine floor overlooking both the kitchen and backyard. Visit our bio for a look at the key sources from European lighting, a custom desk, and simple yet considered accents.

When architecture firm Rural Office designed and built a low-impact family home on a corner plot of land, they recalled the standards for handwork and craftsmanship of the Arts and Crafts movement. The dining area is a picture of midcentury modern design from furniture and lighting to spare decor. It stands between kitchen and stairwell to the library and bedrooms. Dark brown brick-like tile from floor to ceiling creates a backdrop for key furniture and lighting, both vintage and new. Visit our bio for the key elements of the dining room.

Lately, the Remodelista team has been sending each other posts from @daenewyork, a cafe, design shop, and event space on Smith Street in Brooklyn. Images include: a bow-bedecked pillow, teeny tiny pats of butter in the shape of fish, a gleaming stainless steel counter. The cafe is the work of Carol Song and Suea Cho, who first met working as buyers at Opening Ceremony. They spent a year transforming the totally blank space into a modern and bright cafe, enlisting friends from the set design team at JCrew and more than a few Korean makers.

In a holiday landscape of glittery, commercial, and jokey tree ornaments, it can be hard to find the most simple of styles. Case in point: the translucent glass ornament, inspired by the German blown glass ornaments of yore. Here are this year’s favorites. Visit our bio for more info!

In a sea of sameness when it comes to interiors, it’s refreshing to come across a project that doesn’t strive to be of this exact moment. When Joan and Jayne Michaels, the twin sisters behind design practice 2Michaels (@2michaelsdesign) sent us one of their recent projects, it registered like a breath of fresh air, a palate cleanser. Have a look! Words by @remodelistajc Photography by Matthew Williams.

Our admiration for Japanese culture and design is no secret. So when we saw the title of Thames and Hudson’s latest release, The Japanese House Since 1945, we spotted a glaring gap in our knowledge. How many Japanese architects could we actually name? Shamefully few. The American architect and author Naomi Pollock, who has lived in Japan since the 1980s, puts that right with this cohesive chronology of 97 compelling, architect-designed Japanese homes showing developments in form, material, architectural expression, and family living over almost eight decades.

Current Obsessions: We’re prioritizing the quieter moments before the holiday marathon begins in a couple of weeks. Words by The Remodelista Team Photograph courtesy of Flame, from As Calming as Candlelight: Table Lamps, Pendants, and More from Flame of Japan.

Frida lives in a small town just north of Copenhagen, and wanted a house that would let her age in place. So she built a home from the ground up - at the age of 80. For the project she worked with celebrated Danish firm Entasis (@entasisarkitekter): the design team dubbed her single-story, next-phase-of-life dream house Villa Frida. Entasis, in turn, suggested Copenhagen architecture studio, Stillark (@stillark_), supply the centrally located kitchen, which we’re spotlighting here. Swipe right for the results!

New York City restauranteur Jay Strauss was searching for smart storage solutions when overhauling his compact kitchen in the East Village. The 250-square-foot space (“not tiny by NYC standards” he notes) has custom cabinets built to Jay’s specs with a honed Carrara marble backsplash and counter. Working with a Grainger metal panel, Jay DIY-ed a Julia Childs-like pegboard for storing all kitchen implements. Swipe right for details of the mini kitchen and visit our bio for sources to match!
