“Located in London’s iconic brutalist Barbican building, this apartment is both complimentary of the original architecture while also exuding a warm contemporary character.

With two bedrooms and two bathrooms set over 1300 square feet, every inch of space was carefully considered. Exquisite details include Venetian plaster walls and custom door handles. Beautiful woods are used throughout, from exquisite burl wood panelling in the entrance hall and sumptuous television room to the hand-lathed end grain timber flooring inspired by the cobblestones of Paris from the 19th century and pippy oak wood joinery with Arni Fantastico marble details in the open plan kitchen. A jewel box bathroom is entirely clad in dramatic Cipollino marble. 

A colour palette of soft pastels extends from hand-tufted rugs to a custom-designed blush velvet curvilinear sofa and a lovingly curated art collection. Much of the furniture was custom designed for the apartment.”

Contemporary, liveable interiors with an elegant and eclectic European point of view. That’s the trademark of London and New York based Bryan O’Sullivan Studio and no more evident than in his own home. Think glamour with a touch that is fresh and fun.

Briony Delves and Graham Paull from Society of Wanderers and Sunday Sailor created rental accommodations from this 1980s home in Torquay, Victoria and played up the 80s vibe with help from interior designer Amelda Wilde. Amber glazing, tiled countertops, cork wall, graphic wallpaper, colourfully tiled bathrooms and cozy furniture make for a pretty sweet place to stay. Photos: Cricket Studio.

“Yellow-coloured objects appear to be gold” – Aristotle. It’s a quote used by Geremia Design to describe their reworking of a Julia Morgan house. (Morgan’s most famous building is Hearst Castle.) It’s about bold, saturated colour and the juxtaposition of old and new, novel and familiar, subtle and dramatic. It’s about alchemy … and gold.

Frances Merrill of Reath Design created magic in another jaw-dropping home and I could not love this more. It is full of colour and whimsy, an eclectic mix of styles (super feminine, diner-chic, granny vintage and some 50s retro) and patterns and textures that are drool-worthy. It’s our first week posting for 2024 and I’m already wondering what I can find this year that would top this. Photos: Laure Joliet

This contemporary home in the Georgian style exudes a timeless international flair, marrying what the designer calls “Classic Modernist” principles with transitional design. Crafted with meticulous care, this downsizer (yes I did say downsizer) is all about enduring elegance and top-notch craftsmanship. Emphasizing durability and easy maintenance the interior showcases sleek joinery, quartzite stones and a blend of natural elements—timber, stone, metal, and Murano glass—infusing warmth and sophistication. Architectural elements, from stone detailing to Georgian-inspired cornices, were thoughtfully integrated to honour the home’s style. Grand Georgian in Sydney’s Double Bay by Carla Barton.
