Sometimes mother nature does the best accessorising. Beauty captured by photographer Francesco Lagnese.

My first question on seeing this project by 3rd UNCLE was “If this is the pool house what is the house like?!” My next question was “How do they get the guests to go home?” Almost simultaneously I was wondering when I was moving in. An oasis at the end of the garden with just enough mid century references to keep me happy. Sadly 3rd UNCLE is no more. The good news? It is now three firms… +tongtong Arriz & Co and Paul Syme architect.

Beautiful minty goodness. Interior design by Tom Scheerer. Photography by Francesco Lagnese. Love it!

A Federation style house and a modern extension. An earlier renovation that just wasn’t working for the owners. Enter Multiplicity who have taken the addition, changed ceiling heights, opened walls with glazing, added interest through timber joinery and brought the uninspiring space to life without the wholesale waste of demolishing an addition that was under 10 years old.

There’s a passion in photographer Nicole Franzen‘s work. I’ve raved about it before. Self taught and oh so talented. Food, lifestyle, travel. A wonderful way to make your way in life, through a camera, capturing beauty, storytelling with light and lens. And if her professional work inspires you then check out her instagram.
