This project atop Mt Hotham was a passion for clients who love skiing and the stunning alpine views of Victoria’s High Country. Initiated during COVID, it presented challenges due to restrictions at the alpine resort, tight construction deadlines and extreme weather. Katie Sargent Design has transformed the chalet from a 90s box into a warm, inviting retreat. The final space is perfect for sharing with family and friends.

Emma Stevenson brings harmony and charm to every space. Crafted to be lived in and loved, embracing form and function in equal measure. She is a creator of ambience with a deep understanding of the psychology of interiors through colour and form, spaces and materials. French-born Emma works internationally but is based in London, with a team of highly skilled artisans close at hand. Her service is entirely bespoke, often encouraging custom craftsmanship for pieces that are truly unique.
It’s evident London-based designer Emma Stevenson wants her clients to fully enjoy their homes and have their spirits lifted each time they walk into a room. Full of life and the best energy, and not shying away from pattern and colour that creates so much warmth.

The architectural interventions for this Mosman, Sydney family home by Those Architects respond intelligently and beautifully to challenges with natural light and views. With a south-facing orientation and a strict “no height increase” rule, the design began by questioning how much space a family truly needs. The result is a serene home with multifunctional spaces, abundant light and airflow. The ground floor includes living, kitchen and dining areas distinguished by a subtle level change, while a third bedroom, wine cellar and storage complete the lower level. Upstairs, a master bedroom with a louvred window enhances light and offers privacy. The new roof terrace provides stunning harbour views while flexible joinery transforms spaces for different uses. Retaining its heritage as a cobbler’s workshop, the home features dark timbers, exposed concrete and bronze hardware balanced by softer materials for more intimate areas. The reorganization transformed 110 square meters into 175 square meters without altering the roofline.

Holbrook House by Melbourne-based Brahman Perera is a modern family home that balances contemporary requirements with a deep appreciation for early 20th-century design. By integrating personal experiences and memories, he creates a space suitable for a growing family. The home explores sculptural joinery, contrasting finishes and iconic furniture design. Natural light is enriched by deep timbers, aged brass and varied stones. Vertical architecture and thoughtful circulation shape the flow, while lighting and textures zone key areas. The joinery, designed as furniture pieces, brings unexpected, sculptural details, blending Art Deco influences into a contemporary living context.

I’d love to share one of our recent projects where we transformed a 3250 sqft builder-grade home in suburban Markham into a personalized haven for a young family. They wanted a chic, low-maintenance space that reflects their lifestyle, with a focus on functionality and timeless design. The kitchen layout was completely reimagined with a spacious island, creating an open flow into the family room. The master ensuite was designed as a spa-like retreat with a walk-in shower and a large round tub. Throughout the home, we added plenty of storage solutions to keep it clutter-free while maintaining a warm, inviting atmosphere with neutral tones and natural materials. 
Teresa Leung of Studio Lii created such beauty in this home that is simple yet classic and neutral yet very soothing. I can see myself playing with bits of colour and pattern and antiques in here to add some spice with this being an ideal starting point. Photos: Niamh Barry
