This contemporary extension to a Federation home in Sydney’s Bondi is light, bright and family friendly. The open plan, luxe but subtle material palette and the layering of texture result in welcoming modern living that brings this beautiful old home into a new century.

Formal and relaxed, classic and contemporary, inside to out. It’s the perfect mix of the best of the original California bungalow and a modern extension to the rear. Calm and welcoming with restrained touches of luxury modern living. My favourite space? Why the kitchen with its modern reworking of an art deco vibe. Queens Park House by Sydney-based Arent & Pyke.

This stately, elegant home in Old Westbury, New York, was designed by Michelle Gerson who played up the elegance of the architecture and went balls to the wall with it. It is modern, sophisticated and imbued with a glamorous WOW factor room by room. (Photos: Douglas Friedman & Howard W. Christian)

I really love the bright, neutral, modern vibes happening in this Texas home designed by Amanda Brooke. The entertainment feature wall is a brilliant design choice, with built-in lighting and storage, and the brass accents in the kitchen with matching marble is gorgeous. (Photos: Jack Thompson)

The renovation of this listed half timbered house in Limburg in the south of the Netherlands may still be in progress but what Maastricht-based interior designer Niels Maier has created takes the breath away. Stylish and sympathetic, minimalist and leaving me wanting more. The timbers in this house are definitely the stars.
