A House to Gather, by Melbourne-based architectural firm Sibling, is a warm and efficient extension designed for a young couple known for their generous hospitality. Built on a modest site and budget, the project transforms a narrow workers cottage into a vibrant space for hosting 2 to 30 guests. The design prioritizes natural light, open space, and connection to the outdoors. With colourful joinery, custom tiles, skylights, and clever spatial planning, the home reflects the couple’s joyful spirit and love of sharing meals.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on the weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Café Petriole by DUELLE.

Gable House, designed by Studio Doherty & Folk Architects, redefines family living through bold yet harmonious design. A zinc-clad extension by Folk Architects introduces contemporary contrast, with a glazed bridge linking the heritage Queen Anne Federation home to the new wing. The reconfigured interiors embrace openness and natural light, with a salvaged brick feature wall grounding the space in history. Timber-lined ceilings add warmth, while pale blue quartzite and a striking pink pantry energize the kitchen. Playful yet refined, the home’s layered material palette—stone, Murano glass, and vintage accents—creates a rich, expressive interior that blends heritage charm with modern sophistication.

This 1880s rowhouse renovation by Toronto-based Tommy Smythe and Colin Baird of Tom Design Collective celebrates fearless design and bold colours. A red front door opens to a vestibule with ikat grass cloth, turquoise hooks, and graphic tiles. Vibrant palettes unfold—moody blues and magenta in the living room, pink and green in the kitchen, and a crimson dining room with striking moldings and opulent accents.
