“A showroom, store & hotel in one. Designed for property company microluxe.  Micro in that it challenges what can be achieved within a small space through clever cutting edge design. Luxe in its attention to detail – from the exquisite furniture, artwork and finishes.”

Melbourne-based Studio Edwards and the converted apartment in Fitzroy. Marble walled bathroom, gold Murphy bed, hovering steel monolithic kitchen. It’s hard to believe this design is 5 years old. Microluxe seems to have moved on. I wonder if the studio apartment remains?

My second house today is half a world away from London but shares so much in common with my first. Both Victorian era homes with light, bright open plan extension. Here the new is separated from the old by a glass walkway and has a strong emphasis on a seamless connection between inside and out. Natural materials abound with a strong connection to the houses original stone. Stanley House by Adelaide-based Georgie Shepherd Interior Design.

“Complete refurbishment of a generously proportioned Victorian family home in East London. Set over 5 floors, the mix of architectural styles is reflected in the interiors with a light, rustic contemporary approach in the lower ground floor and contrasting rich dark Victorian splendour on the upper floors.”

Old and new, Victorian and contemporary, light and dark. It’s all moody Victorian glam in the older part of the house breaking out into a modern, earthy almost rustic extension. The best of both worlds. Hackney, London residence by Frank & Faber.

This home designed by a. Naber Design is a little bit modern, a tad Scandinavian, has some organic elements and is as bright as can be. It’s so cohesive and very much current and fresh for today’s lifestyle. 2 thumbs up on this project. Photography: Charlotte Lea

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. It also helps if it’s at the end of the garden. Hunt Studio by, of course, Hunt Architecture.
