Nestled on 85 acres in Queenstown New Zealand, Speargrass House seamlessly combines rustic charm with practical elegance for a lively family with four boys. Embracing its natural surroundings, the house boasts mountain views of The Remarkables and Coronet Peak. A palette of blues, saffron, and silvery greys mirrors the expansive sky and rocky landscapes. Stone features prominently, adorning walls, floors, and fireplaces. European oak floors and custom maple joinery elements bring warmth. Speargrass House interiors by Sydney-based Arent & Pyke.

Casa almóada

Posted on Mon, 30 Oct 2023 by KiM

Casa almóada is a quirky and secretly secluded 4-bedroom Boutique Home (12+) which has flourished from its XIX century rammed-earth walls, right at the heart of the purest Algarve. This hidden and serene countryside – where the rugged shapes of the “Barrocal” hold hands (1.5km) with the picturesque little town of São Brás de Alportel (Southern Portugal) – is the faithful guardian of dazzling beaches kissed by the enchanting Ria Formosa.
This is how I want to vacation – easy, breezy and totally casual and inviting. Your stay at almóada includes a fully equipped kitchen & outdoor plancha, on-hand concierge, chlorine-free heated plunge pool, indoor & outdoor fireplaces, king sized beds and a long list of extra experiences (the traditional dinner, exclusive wine & art interpretative session sounds lovely!). Loooove the pool area and outdoor dining space – and that view! Oh what a fabulous vacation spot this would be! Click here to book stay at this gem.

Highlands House

Posted on Fri, 27 Oct 2023 by midcenturyjo

This remarkable hilltop dwelling seamlessly blends industrial charm with contemporary design. Three interconnecting pavilions sit atop a hillside in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. Think contemporary design meets industrial-style barns, open-plan spaces and precast concrete panels. Connecting the pavillions is an art gallery walk defining areas and connecting with the vast landscape. In such a rural area sustainability takes centre stage, featuring solar power, rainwater harvesting and fire safety measures. This off-grid residence embodies meticulous planning, offering a unique blend of form, function, and environmental consciousness. Highlands House by Luke Maloney Architecture.
