“It was a joy being asked to carry out a second renovation for this beautiful and significant heritage house, to accommodate a growing family. Architecturally, our approach was to delicately weave additional bedrooms and living spaces respectfully around the charming and dappled pink Heritage house. We created a dialogue of poetic curved volumes and light, internally and externally to enhance the beautiful space.”

From dark and moody to light-filled and open plan this new addition connects the house seamlessly to the garden while providing stylish and welcoming areas for family and friends to gather. Hawksburn House by Melbourne Susi Leeton Architects + Interiors.

“The Lilo apartment upgrade was designed to play to the strengths of the beachfront art-deco building and create a laid-back, sophisticated refuge for our client. As the client leases the apartment, we minimised heavy intervention and used material applications to transform the previously run-down site. A playfully resolved loose-furniture scheme creates lasting value.”

Minimalism sitting on a maximalist floor. No just kidding. Who says you can’t have a stylish home when you’re renting?

“GSDC’s objective was to create a feeling of laid-back luxury, true to Vancouver’s style. Curating a selection of unique and bespoke pieces from both local and international designers helped to create distinctive space true to Gillian’s signature style.”

And the biggest luxuries of all, the space, the views and that light! Fabulous contemporary Vancouver living by Gillian Segal Design Company.

Or at least that’s the way Moscow and St Petersberg-based interior designer Tim Veresnovsky describes this apartment in Komarovo on the Gulf of Finland. The rendered walls, terracotta tiled arches (the wrong side of the tile was used for its texture and colour) and rich wood panelling play into the tonal colour palette of rusts and browns. Sophisticated and stylish. A far cry from the brutalist Soviet sanatoriums by the ocean.

“With incredible views towards the southern wild ocean and northern views to the enclosed and stunning pool lawn and flourishing vegetable garden, we wanted to create an ‘Australian’ villa in the landscape by the sea. Internally, we aspired to creating spaces rather than surface, creating atmosphere rather than rooms; creating both a generosity of spirit and serenity as a background for happy family life.”

As stunning as its rugged setting this sophisticated contemporary beach house is definitely no shack with its expansive views through large glass windows, open plan living and a sheltered oasis of a garden behind. Flinders House by Melbourne-based Susi Leeton.
