Minimalist luxury, modern sophistication in an apartment in a heritage building in the West Australian city of Freemantle by Nickolas Gurtler.
“Bringing his passion for shapes, colours and textures to every project, Nickolas’s style is glamorous yet restrained, minimal pieces with masculine forms are paired with exotic and luxurious textures to create spaces with an international feel.”

What do you do when you and the kids have outgrown your 11ft (3.3m) wide Brooklyn row house? What do you do when you love where you live and don’t want to move further out to get that valuable space you need? Why you extend up and down but do it cleverly, making effective yet frugal use of the space. If the result is “a home that is not just larger, but livelier” then I guess you and the kids will love living in your special piece of Brooklyn. By Office of Architecture.

And one from me….cooler weather has arrived so the cats are getting extra cuddly with both their humans and each other. Phoebe and Lucky were in these positions for several hours that day.
Interior designer Margaret Naeve Parker of M Naeve combines contemporary pieces with antiques found in her travels in Belgium, France and Scandinavia. Hers is a restrained approach with an emphasis on texture and a muted palette. What strikes me most is even with her love of beautiful, old pieces these rooms feel fresh and modern, timeless and sophisticated.
It’s another case of stalking dΓ©jΓ vu. Architecturally designed homes we have featured previously on the blog seem to be hitting the market. Today I’m stalking this Brunswick East house by Melbourne-based architectural studio Multiplicity. If I remember correctly I was quite taken by the storage system in the kitchen. (You can see it in its architect’s portfolio life here.) Now it’s even more fabulous with its “styling for sale” by inside story, the latest collaboration between Lynda Gardener and Belle Hemming. Love, love, love the Grant Featherstone Numero modular chairs in the lounge area. I’m biased though because I have the same ones. Link for this wonderful heritage cottage and its ultra-modern extension here while it lasts.
