“Ledgewood, a compact California modernist home nestled in the Hollywood Hills, was designed in 1961 by Robert Kennard, a pioneering Black architect who fought to open the profession to minorities and women. As with any renovation of a historic property, our challenge was to preserve the form and spirit of the original structure while gently ushering it into the 21st century. We believe the most meaningful way to respect great architecture is to demonstrate its adaptability to the rhythms and rituals of contemporary life.”

Breathing new life into this mid-century gem Studio Shamshiri used colour and natural materials to increase the connection between inside and out. Think verdant greens and earthy browns while leather, wood and handmade tiles add texture and interest.

Absolutely loving the European modern vibes in this Nebraska lake house designed by Light and Dwell. The exterior is has many dark elements which adds so much character, and when you walk in it’s very white and bright, but turn the corner into the kitchen and WHAM, it’s a mostly black kitchen that is so fabulously dramatic. I am OBSESSED. I cannot stand white kitchens so this is a dream. Other mostly black spaces tie all the black together and keep that flow. LOVE. Photography: Amy Bartlam

An old potter’s studio converted into a one bedroom cabin tucked into the Bundjalung Byron Bay hinterland by We Are Triibe is the perfect getaway for the firm’s co-founder Jessica d’Abadie and her small family. A simple yet stylish space surrounded by lush growth, a welcoming oasis of calm.

“A sensitive adaptation by Brad Swartz Architects brings extra space and light into a 1861 heritage sandstone terrace without increasing its footprint. A sculptural steel staircase, sky-roof and glass walls work together to bring daylight through the core, and turn an unused attic into a contemporary take on the sunroom.”
