A little jewel box of an apartment in Sydney’s Potts Point. Rich colours, an eclectic mix of furniture, surrounded by life’s treasures and mementos, of course a wall of books and to top it off an iconic view. Contemporary living in an Art Deco building done right. I want to move in. By Weir Phillips Architects.

“Twin Peaks House is an alteration to a historic villa in central Auckland, which takes inspiration from the original architecture in creating a contemporary space for a young family.”

The original old house may have had a small footprint but it had lofty ceilings. The soaring heights and the sun that poured in through large windows informed this new addition by Pac Studio. Grand proportions in a simple house.

My next home must must MUST have a decent sized kitchen. This one designed by Erika Powell of Urban Grace Interiors is probably the size of my house. What a dream! So much room to cook up a storm and stash away every possible pot and serving dish and small appliance you could ever need. I included some photos of the outdoor spaces too in case the kitchen wasn’t enough to make you fall in love with this home.

You would have a difficult time convincing me there that there was anything more beautiful than exposed wood beams, trim-free plaster walls, old-world tiled and raw wood floors. This home in Limburg, The Netherlands, is breathtaking. Interior design by Niels Maier. Photos by Thomas De Bruyne.

From the master of the mix, interior designer and dealer Serge Castella comes a countryside residence that is chic and sophisticated while being bucolic and relaxed. A pastoral poem and an ode to collectable cool.
