When a pair of New York doctors relocated to Coral Gables with their young son, they sought a home that balanced urban sophistication with coastal tranquility. The result? A breathtaking gut renovation by boutique design studio Andreea Franca, transforming a dated lakefront house into a light-filled sanctuary where modern elegance meets relaxed warmth.Before & After: A Home RebornThe Entryway: First Impressions MatterBefore: The original entryway was a nondescript transitional space with no storage or defining character a missed opportunity to welcome guests.After: Now, the updated entryway subtly sets the tone with organic textures and curated details. A fluted floating wood shelf holds a tulip print and vibrant orange blooms, while a small tray of fruit and stacked books add lived-in charm. The design proves that even compact spaces can make a statement with thoughtful minimalism.Living Room: Dual Zones, Unified DesignBefore: A tile-clad fireplace and bulky shelving divided the room, creating a choppy, disconnected feel.After: The redesigned living room now features two distinct yet harmonious zones:- A Formal Sitting Area A sculptural cream sofa paired with caramel velvet chairs and a white marble coffee table creates a modern sanctuary. Sheer drapes filter soft light, enhancing the airy elegance.- A Relaxed Lounge Corner A deep brown sectional, rust-toned pillows, and a fiddle leaf fig in a woven basket invite casual comfort. Floating wood shelves display art and ceramics, adding personality.The pièce de rĂŠsistance? A floor-to-ceiling raw rope partition that visually separates the spaces while maintaining an open, organic flow.Dining Room: Sculptural BalanceBefore: Oversized dark furniture and a mirrored wall made the space feel heavy and imposing.After: The new dining room is a masterclass in contrast:- A rounded-edge oak table grounds the space.- BouclĂŠ chairs introduce softness and tactility.- A dramatic layered chandelier adds artistic flair against the neutral backdrop.A sculptural white console with sandy stone lamps and terracotta artwork completes the look, blending organic modernism with personal touches.Kitchen: Practical EleganceBefore: Dark cabinetry, mismatched appliances, and black countertops made the kitchen feel cramped and disjointed.After: The renovated kitchen is a study in calm functionality:- Creamy cabinetry with dark bronze hardware and vertical zellige tiles adds depth.- A custom oak island with Dekton stone offers warmth and workspace.- Brass and ceramic pendant lights infuse a vintage-inspired glow.Adjacent, a sunlit breakfast nook features a built-in botanical-print bench and ghost chairs, balancing playfulness with the kitchenâs refined palette.(Keyword focus: "zellige tile kitchen," "warm modern kitchen design")Primary Suite: A Serene RetreatBefore: The bedroom felt dark and dated, dominated by a mirrored wall and bulky leather recliners.After: Now, itâs a textural haven:- A tall upholstered wingback bed anchors the room.- Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams add rustic warmth.- A window-side seating area framed by drapery invites lake views and relaxation.The Primary Bath: Quiet IndulgenceBefore: Heavy wood paneling and dim lighting created a cave-like atmosphere.After: The new bath is a spa-like escape:- Checkerboard marble floors contrast with creamy wall tiles.- A freestanding tub basks in natural light.- The oak vanity with honed marble and brass fixtures exudes timeless luxury.Final Thoughts: A Home That Tells a StoryStudio Andreea Francaâs renovation masterfully blends New York polish with Coral Gablesâ coastal ease, proving that great design is equal parts beauty and livability. Every detail from the organic textures to the intentional layouts reflects a home crafted for both style and comfort.Project Credits:- Photography: Abigail Mair- Architecture: DGO Architecture- Interior Design: Studio Andreea Franca- General Contractor: The Arko Group⌠ArchUp Editorial InsightThis project presents an inspiring model for transforming historic spaces into modern homes without losing their original identity. What stands out here is the clever use of natural elements (wood, light, plants) to create a balance between luxury and everyday comfort. The success of this design lies in the small details, such as the choice of bronze door handles or the ficus plant in the living room corner, which add layers of narrative depth. This is not just a home renovation, but a redefinition of how a modern family can live in harmony between aesthetics and functionality. Most importantly, it proves that good design doesnât have to be expensive just thoughtfully considered.Explore More with ArchUpArchUp documents the evolving profession of architects worldwide, from career insights and research to project profilesand industry news.

This is a time lapse of me developing one of my 8 pieces for my collection to look even better, doing this final drawing made me feel a lot better about my 8 piece collection because it just looks a lot wowing now and more interesting.
These are my 8 designs, I choose to slightly develop them a bit more to make them even better and to fit my customer perfectly, I was happy with my designs before but I believed they could be even better so I just added more shapes and designs to make them more interesting, because before they were a bit bland and not much going on which definitely does not sun up my customer.

Week #6 - Re-evaluating and redeveloping beverage concept
This week during isolation I had the time to reconsider my beverage brand and label. I seemed to have hit a wall with my second idea and felt like I couldnât extend myself further in order to produce something I was really proud of. So I began to brainstorm a new concept. I am deeply inspired by magic and mythology and spirituality. This really drove my new beverage brand concept.
My new concept
This new beverage concept which I have developed is still a Kombucha brand. I will be changing the name to Elemental Kombucha and the new slogan will be âEXIST IN YOUR ELEMENT.âÂ
According to dictionary.com, the adjective elemental is defined as:
1. of the nature of an ultimate constituent; simple; uncompounded.
2. pertaining to rudiments or first principles.
3. starkly simple, primitive, or basic: a spare, elemental prose style; hate, lust, and other elemental emotions.
4. pertaining to the agencies, forces, or phenomena of physical nature: elemental gods.
5. comparable to the great forces of nature, as in power or magnitude: elemental grandeur.
6. of, relating to, or of the nature of the four elements, earth, water, air, and fire, or of any one of them.
Taking my beverage brand into account, definition number 6 and 4 relate the strongest to my overall concept and why I chose to name this brand âElemental Kombucha.â
Mind map and image association:
CONCEPT 1:
Star signs are divided and collected into different elements (earth, fire, water and air).
Earth signs include Capricorn, Virgo and Taurus.
Fire signs include Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.
Water signs include Scorpio, Cancer and Pisces.
Air signs include Gemini, Libra and Aquarius.
For this first creative path, I want to focus on minimalism and typography the sell the product. Taking inspiration from Replica and Chanel perfume, I want my label to be 100% typography. I want display the logo, slogan, element (e.g air), star sign (e.g gemini), and traits of the star sign (e.g for gemini it would be curious, gentle and affectionate) and connecting all of this back to the flavour of the beverage (eg apple cinnamon or strawberry lemonade).

CONCEPT 2:
The four kinds of elemental beings are each composed of one element (earth, fire, water and air).Â
Earth elementals include gnomes, trolls and pixies.
Fire elementals include dragons, salamanders and unicorns.
Water elementals include mermaids, mermen, nymphs and wyverns.
Air elementals include fairies, sylphs and elves.
For this second creative path, I want to focus on a fun and colourful kombucha can collection with illustrations of elemental beings being the main attraction of the beverage. I will do this by matching each elemental being to a colour and a flavour. For example, the Earth elemental may be green to represent the earth, the character on the front on the can might be a gnome and the flavour might be sour apple. I want to do follow this process through for the 4 different signs (earth, fire, water and air).

Buildings in London that are gone now
Change is good, generally. It keeps us from stagnating. The challenge of new ideas and new ways of doing things is good for our brains and drives adaptation and innovation. It underpins our evolutionary development.
In London, despite many years of imposed Austerity and economic and social decline for the general population, property developers continue to be busy, avariciously gambling on unsustainable future growth that fails to account for the exigencies of the pivotal era we live in.
New buildings continue to be built. Futuristic office buildings and luxury apartment complexes, so beloved by international investors, but which create sterile, private spaces we are only allowed to pass through because we are monitored with an extreme effort by the biggest CCTV network in the world. Added to this is some infrastructure development, namely the prestige project of Crossrail - the Elizabeth Line, which has cut a swathe through the West End and outwards both east and west.
Setting aside the larger social questions, I just wanted to mark the disappearance of two buildings that had a unique character, and are now gone. The first of these is a remarkably steel-clad, brutalist building in Vauxhall owned by BT.
This has been replaced by a far less dramatic-looking and dismayingly typical, banal residential development, as can be seen on Street View.
On the south side of Blackfriars Bridge was a stone and steel-clad office building with 70s-style smoked glass windows. This is recently demolished and the site is currently being redeveloped. There is perhaps a possibility that what replaces is it might have some architectural merit. It is a prominent location which can be seen from across the river so is itâs possible that it might be attention-seeking and quirky.
Lastly, I just wanted to mark the disappearance of my favourite Chinese Takeaway restaurant, the Victory, on Mitcham Lane in Streatham. They had the best sweet and sour pork, Hong Kong style, and I miss them.
