Located in Montreal’s Notre-Dame-de-Grâce district, this early 20th-century house was refurbished so that its owners could move in with their growing family. We rethought the space, retaining certain elements with which we were able to play. This house presents a convivial open space where the balance between light tones and dark accents brings an unpretentious elegance.
I love how timeless this project by Blanc Marine Intérieurs is. And so very warm. Much of it is light and the cream tones are gorgeous. Amen to having no jarring white ceilings. Photos: Annie Fafard.

Completed in Summer 2024, this Victorian semi-detached home in Liss, Hampshire, was transformed by Vaughan Design and Development for a family of four and their dog. A timber-clad rear extension creates an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space overlooking the stunning South Downs. The design features a harmonious mix of natural materials including green tones, handmade zellige tiles in playful patterns and tongue-and-groove panelling. These elements were chosen to create a layered, welcoming aesthetic that seamlessly connects the home to its picturesque countryside surroundings.

The restoration of a 1930s Georgian Revival residence in Melbourne by Fiona Lynch Office celebrates craftsmanship and timeless design. Decades of discordant changes were removed to restore clarity while preserving original decorative features like fireplace mantels and elegant arches with corbels. A new glass pavilion radically transforms family living, connecting the kitchen to the woodland garden and filling the home with natural light. Bold stone elements define remodelled bathrooms and a robust travertine-marble kitchen island. The design integrates original features with contemporary updates, including custom oak finishes, mismatched stone panels and sculptural staircases, creating a seamless balance between classic elegance and modern living.

In 1985, a historic Redfern warehouse built in 1903 as McMurties Shoe Factory underwent one of Sydney’s first warehouse-to-apartment transformations. Today, Studio Noakes has worked their magic refurbishing one of the apartments. The building’s heritage shines through high ceilings, hardwood columns and exposed rafters. The studio carefully restored and enhanced these industrial features, seamlessly blending history with a contemporary aesthetic. Bold colours, expansive forms and textured spaces highlight the client’s dynamic art collection, showcasing works from local talents. Fusing natural, vintage and iconic pieces has created a vibrant harmony in this young artist’s home. The result is a space that balances historical character with creative energy, reflecting the vibrancy of its inner-city surroundings.
