Country touches and contemporary cool. This modern renovation of an early 19th century farmhouse by Sydney-based Rhys-Jones Interior Architecture sees organic finishes and clean lines mixed with references to the building’s past. A calm oasis from the city hustle.

Moody and masculine in New York’s West Village. Deliciously dark and carefully curated with open plan living and private corners. Sophisticated city living. It couldn’t be more of a contrast to the Southampton home I just featured but it’s by the same über talented designer Mark Cunningham.

It’s an American dream. No not the hustle and bustle of a city that never sleeps or a muscle car and homecoming queen. It’s a shingle clad country cottage in a verdant garden. It’s a simple yet refined family and friends sort of place with its mixture of antiques and new, wood and raffia, white with an occasional splash of black. Southhampton by Mark Cunningham.

“The Barrow Street brownstone is a classic 1850s Victorian brownstone in Jersey City’s Van Vorst Park. With many of its beautiful, original details left intact—including crown molding, stained glass windows, and a unique wooden grand staircase—And Studio’s vision was to preserve and amplify the space’s character while layering in modern functionality, depth, and warmth. Inspired by the tactile utility of London townhouses, we sought out to create a home that felt wholly authentic, a balance of nuanced detail and open space.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Zen and the art of respectful restoration by And Studio Interiors. With a nod to the past, this Victorian-era home more than fulfils the needs of modern living whilst celebrating the history of the house.

After surviving a fire and an unsympathetic renovation this Victorian terrace house has been gently and beautifully restored by Melbourne-based design firm Beatrix Rowe. A neutral colour palette, bespoke cabinetry and furniture, “floating” Calacatta marble benches in the kitchen and bathroom and custom arched doors all combine to create a zen like contemporary home. Speaking of bathrooms can we just take a moment to appreciate the beauty of that bathroom? Swoon!
