An early 1900s two bedroom single-storey semi-detached house has been reimagined with alterations and an extension by Sydney-based CO-AP Architects. Maximising daylight and green space were the priority and a materials palette of off-form concrete and Australian timbers was used. The sense of space and light is evident but it’s the stairwell that’s the hero of the renovation… oh and the bedroom with its retractable wall of windows and elevated planter is hot too.

The designer calls it an urban soul garden, this tight city backyard is now filled with outdoor inspiration. Internal and external merge and meld with the new garden design zoned into pool, cooking, al fresco and studio space with a gritty industrial edge and the promise of lush green plantings.

This Victorian terrace home in London is a stunner. Left minimal due to it being a location home, I can just imagine these gloriously bright spaces with some personal touches and some plants added throughout. Loving all of the bright white walls and bits of pale grey, brass hardware and minimalist lighting and WHOA that herringbone oak parquet floor! A real beauty. Available via Shoot Factory. 

It’s like I say week after week. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps that it’s somewhere that looks great! Bibliophile by Mindy Gayer.

I can’t tell you how many times I have stared at this photo. I’m not sure why I find it so enchanting but it’s about time I share it. I think I’m drawn to it because the art is quirky and beautiful and draws your attention to the lovely tile floor. *SWOON* Via Lisa Burke Interiors.
