It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps that it’s somewhere stylish. Studio by McKenzie Dove.

A midcentury home gets a makeover and transforms into an eclectic, sophisticated yet not too serious hangout for a family. Patterns aplenty which has me reallyyyyyy loving the design approach of this “Doña Dolores” project by Jaqui Seerman. Photos: Madeline Tolle.

In 1985, a historic Redfern warehouse built in 1903 as McMurties Shoe Factory underwent one of Sydney’s first warehouse-to-apartment transformations. Today, Studio Noakes has worked their magic refurbishing one of the apartments. The building’s heritage shines through high ceilings, hardwood columns and exposed rafters. The studio carefully restored and enhanced these industrial features, seamlessly blending history with a contemporary aesthetic. Bold colours, expansive forms and textured spaces highlight the client’s dynamic art collection, showcasing works from local talents. Fusing natural, vintage and iconic pieces has created a vibrant harmony in this young artist’s home. The result is a space that balances historical character with creative energy, reflecting the vibrancy of its inner-city surroundings.

Ken Fulk‘s summer residence, “Baxter’s Landing” is a shingled house built around 1880, overlooking the Provincetown harbor. It is a treasure trove of vintage and antique finds, is about as casual and worn as one can crave, and makes me want to find a painted dog portrait to hang at the end of my hallway.

Melbourne-based Pasquale Cook, founded by Sophie Di Pasquale and Sally Cook, is a multidisciplinary design studio known for crafting interiors and objects with refined eclecticism and individuality. The duo renovated Rachael Fry’s near-derelict Hawthorn home, drawing inspiration from European living and blending old and new elements. The home showcases designer furniture from Fry’s store, Criteria, alongside an enviable art collection, embodying elegance and purposeful design.
