The old bakery in Oxfordshire

The complete renovation of a two up two down derelict cottage, featuring a back extension that doubled the footprint of the property and introduced a generous master suite as well as a large open plan living area and kitchen complete with island. The extension required extensive groundworks and a large retaining wall to be built 4m below ground level. This created a dual level aspect between the old cottage and the new extension, separating the dining area in the old cottage from the kitchen in the extension with wall to wall steps. Due to the fortified wall being below ground level and having no windows, 3 large crittal doors were installed on the opposite wall that open out onto the sunken terrace, flooding the open plan living and kitchen with light and bringing the outside in.

Very much neutral and I find myself dying for a bit more colour and pattern in this home but I know neutrals can also sing its own song of calm and soothing peacefulness and it’s such a beautiful renovation that I had to share.

A contemporary family home, hidden behind a traditional facade, integrates seamlessly into the streetscape. Angular skylights and custom windows illuminate the interior and frame garden views. A small courtyard enhances the living and dining areas, fostering indoor-outdoor connections. Earthy, botanical tones unify the space, turning garden views into vivid artworks.

YSG‘s latest project in Byron Bay saw an exposed brick residence with heavy timber elements reinvigorated and infused with seventies inspiration. The design features checkered patterns with terracotta pavers, cork and porcelain tiles, Kimberley sandstone, travertine and marble. Custom finishes, including chrome details and timber privacy devices, add intricacy. Vintage elements range from fifties Italian to seventies styles enhanced by handwoven African wall hangings and embossed wallpaper.

This 19th-century Georgian townhouse served as the client’s London retreat. With a global travel background and an art and fabric collection, Nefarious crafted a unique residence reflecting their style. The kitchen’s structure was preserved, with bespoke marble tops and a subtly green-painted island. The Salon featured a mix of off-the-shelf, bespoke, and antique furniture, creating a conversational space. Patchwork curtains added nostalgia. The primary bathroom was designed as a neutral oasis with soft beiges and brass fixtures.

Arkansas-based Meet West Studio revived a 1970s lakeside cottage through a complete gut remodel, restoring its vintage charm with luxury finishes to create a boutique short-term rental. Inspired by a 1970s Laurel Canyon cottage, the studio used vintage furniture, handmade tiles, natural stone, and rich, earthy textiles. New patio doors and windows enhanced natural light and views. Deep, earthy tones in bedrooms and bathrooms, along with eclectic 70s decor, added a laid-back luxury vibe.
