This custom-built home is not only the personal residence of Allison Willson and her family but represents everything design means to her. Nestled on 50 acres of rolling hills just outside of Creemore, Ontario, the farm is a testament to Allison’s appreciation of craftsmanship. It has a long and linear layout, paired with rustic selections and a palette that defies traditional hues, resulting in a unique blend of contemporary and old-world charm. From the rubble-finished limestone to the carefully chosen furnishings, the house unites the beauty of natural materials, timeworn antiques, and modern furnishings while remaining warm, elevated, and, most importantly, liveable.
What an absolutely stunning home!!! I don’t have too many Canadian designers I admire but Allison is now one I will be keeping an eye on. So many elements in her home that I’m sure would be inspirational for my next home. Photos: Patrick Biller.

Set on a tree-lined street in Victoria’s southeast, Garden House blends a stately Victorian home with a contemporary glazed addition, creating a serene family sanctuary connected to its gardens. McCluskey Studio embraced understated opulence, using deft planning, a textured material palette and fine detailing. The minimalist, light-filled addition harmonizes with the original home fostering warmth and elegance throughout.

Located on a spacious block in Brunswick East, the Gardener’s House by Melbourne-based Splinter Society is designed to blend into the client’s ornamental garden, creating microclimates and framing views as one moves around the property. The front portion, an existing period structure, is painted a modern tonal red to rationalize its historical elements such as the masonry construction and Italianate features. This sustainable, cost-effective approach preserves the building’s narrative, blending old and new. The addition reveals a new modern living space integrating features from the original architecture. The house is surrounded by gardens, and the restrained modern addition, clad in raw cement, is gradually being engulfed by plants.

Classic, yet unique and unexpected. Livable. Legit antiques, cool vintage, modern art, good bones, texture and materials, custom and found….
Next level sophistication and spaces for every possible need, including relaxing, drinking, dining, chilling, sleeping, lounging, smoking, cleaning…. I am obsessed with the stick figure art grouping in the living room (by Jean-Marc Louis). Pacific Heights I by Lisa Hilderbrand. Photos: John Merkl.

Located in a remote area in Sonoma County, this 640-square-foot cabin blends rustic charm with modern design. With its sliding wooden doors closed it resembles a barn. The one-room space is divided by screens, separating a kitchen and a sleeping area. The cabin, clad in reclaimed redwood with a rusted steel roof, is a cozy retreat sitting amidst gardens with a bath shed, a sleeping shed and a copper tub overlooking Mount St. Helena.
