This newly built spacious home is full of character and child-friendliness for a family with four children. It’s unassuming on the outside but has everything you could want – pantry/second kitchen, home theater, secret playroom, wine and bar rooms etc etc. I REALLY love that off the kitchen is a covered area with a BBQ so you could enjoy meals outside even in the rain.

Hilltop House by Sydney-based Richards Stanisich is a thoughtfully designed family home that merges emotion with elegance. In collaboration with Stafford Architecture, the interior design embraces the site’s elevated harbour views and architectural form. The brief called for warmth and texture within a clean, modern structure. A dark, layered palette adds intimacy, balanced by abundant natural light. Seamless integration with the garden was key; external paving continues indoors, while a draped linen ceiling subtly echoes the surrounding tree canopy, enhancing connection and flow throughout.

Relogged by Ukrainian architectural and interior design firm balbek bureau is a private home located on a riverside green zone, originally built as a log cabin and reimagined to reflect the client’s contemporary lifestyle. The redesign reinterprets classic log house aesthetics with minimalist geometry, concrete floors, and a moody yet warm palette. Inspired by Rick Owens’ Concordia apartment, the interior is grungy and utilitarian, softened by custom furniture and vintage pieces. Minimal intervention preserved the log structure, while open layouts, dark-stained wood, and metal elements give the home a bold, modern edge rooted in comfort, creativity, and deep collaboration with the client.

This Neo-Tudor townhouse in Brooklyn could not be more charming from the outside, but it unfortunately had lost all character and original details on the interior. With the help and expertise of design firm Jesse Parris-Lamb, it is now the perfect refuge for a young family and despite being only 18′ wide, is fully functional and now has lots of great features, like the dining nook with banquette and that long book shelf/bench setup under the windows. Also dying over that massive U shaped George Smith sectional sofa in the den. Photos: Nicole Franzen




















The transformation of this iconic Pettit and Sevitt home in Sydney by Studio Prineas honours its original architecture while introducing a new layer for family life. An added upper level and integrated landscaping blend seamlessly with the existing structure, softening transitions between old and new. Outdoor terraces connect the home to the garden while a circular pool nestles like a bushland billabong. Inside a playful open-tread stair replaces the spiral complementing the original timber beams. Nostalgic design touches including repurposed curtains preserve the home’s charm and history.
