Headland House is a reimagined Art Deco residence overlooking South Bondi, designed by Sydney-based studio Richards Stanisich, an interior design and architecture practice known for thoughtful, emotive spaces. While preserving the original masonry shell, the design introduced a new upper level and restructured interior layout. Celebrating Sydney’s beachside exuberance, the interiors feature sculptural forms, rich colour, and materials chosen to amplify light. Gloss finishes, curved elements, and ceramic surfaces interact with sunlight throughout the day, creating a home that feels both vibrant and timelessly crafted.

Set on a narrow peninsula surrounded by water, this guest house (yes guest house!) by Bates Masi + Architects is composed of five distinct pavilions, each housing private spaces like bedrooms, family room and a kitchen, united by an overarching roof. Between them, open-air transitional spaces adapt to weather and season blurring the boundary between indoors and out. Centred around lush courtyard gardens each pavilion features plaster walls and bleached oak with copper siding that channels rainwater into the soil below. Elevated foundations reduce environmental impact, while the sculptural roof improves site hydrodynamics, merging architectural beauty with ecological resilience.
