An ode to rustic minimalism in Queen’s Park, this four-bedroom family home for sale presents a fusion of organic textures and earthy tones. The house unveils a nature-inspired aesthetic beyond its Edwardian façade with North African design influences blending rich colours with reclaimed materials. A spacious reception room and bespoke stone fireplace create a captivating lounge area, leading to an open-plan kitchen and dining space. Tactile elements like reclaimed wood and Arabescato marble define the kitchen and bar. Skylights and a glass wall infuse the lower level with natural light. The garden features an urban landscape with a garden room, while upstairs, a serene principal suite and three bedrooms offer comfort. A rustic cinema room on the lower ground floor adds cozy charm.

Chevening Road is for sale via Domus Nova.

“An open connection between inside and outside is a key theme of the home, originally built in the 1960s by architect A Quincy Jones, and Ome Dezin’s work ensures that this remains. The integration of an atrium space brings both natural light into the center of the dwelling space and highlights a 40 ft waterfall in the backyard. Amid a mostly neutral base of finishes, wood plays heavily in warming and bringing texture inward, while natural stone elevates kitchens and bathrooms, creating a sense of timelessness.”

My design idol, Henrietta Southam, has created such a magnificent oasis in her latest home here in Ottawa and just when I thought could not be more impressed with her creativity and style….well here we are. I am shook that she can make an earthy, neutral colour palette so damn sexy and sophisticated, and be so dramatic. And to be doing this from a city that has access to almost no decent design shops and in general some of the most boring and bland taste in interiors. It is what makes Henrietta so unique and inspiring. Read more about her home on Architectural Digest (!!!!). Photos: Marc Fowler of Metropolis Studio

Perched on the Mornington Peninsula, this farmhouse renovation seamlessly integrates bushland and sea vistas, crafting a serene horse hobby farm away from the city bustle. Inspired by its Australian rural surroundings the design palette echoes nature’s hues with eucalyptus greens and ocean blues. Collaborating with local artisans, bespoke elements like kitchen plates and handcrafted balustrades adorn the space. The design has balanced the modern with the heritage, incorporating textured renders and reclaimed French beams for character while personal touches fill every corner.
