This contemporary extension to a Federation home in Sydney’s Bondi is light, bright and family friendly. The open plan, luxe but subtle material palette and the layering of texture result in welcoming modern living that brings this beautiful old home into a new century. Checkmate by Shannon Shlom and Dominique Brammah of design studio Duet.

The renovation of this listed half timbered house in Limburg in the south of the Netherlands may still be in progress but what Maastricht-based interior designer Niels Maier has created takes the breath away. Stylish and sympathetic, minimalist and leaving me wanting more. The timbers in this house are definitely the stars.

“The Clay House, situated in Bethnal Green overlooks two parks, one to the East on the bedroom side with the living quarters facing Weavers Fields to the West. We were struck with how the light cast long shadows deep in to the plan from the afternoon in to evening reminding us of the carved rock formations found in the Western USA – a narrow gap punctured with light. The clients, with roots in California via the Philippines and Ireland sought a retreat from the pressures of city life and for it to be a simple space to work, eat and live. Raw clay plaster walls and ceilings run through the apartment with beaten old white floorboards refurbished but still storied. Cacti and olive trees coexist against a backdrop of an aged birch kitchen with handcut tile countertops and an onyx mosaic bathroom. A travertine table forms the heart of the working, dining and living area bouncing light deeper through the space.”

An oasis in the bustling city. Tactile and soothing with a wabi sabi vibe. Clay House, pared back living by London-based architecture and interiors practice Red Deer.

Relaxed monochromatic living with its restrained palette enhanced by the masterful use of texture. Think light and airy, natural materials and a heightened sense of style. Welcoming and cosy, perfect for family and friends. Southside by Atlanta-based Melanie Turner Interiors.

A treasure trove, a memory chest, the meeting of high drama and the authentic. Rip and shred, collect and find the soul. Welcome to the home of designer Aimee Wertepny of Chicago-based PROjECT. That bedroom will be floating around in my dreams for days to come.
