Down by the beach front in Sydney design duo Handelsmann + Khaw have  transformed a tired and dark Watsons Bay house into a study of pared back elegance with a hint of the Mediterranean washed with gentle light. Beautiful simplicity.

Still stalking in Sydney! I’ve moved a few suburbs over to Kensington and found this stylish Federation bungalow re-imagined by Luigi Rosselli Architects. Think curved plate glass walls, sinuous staircase and statement lighting in a two storey extension. Sophisticated and sculptural. Link here while it lasts.

Thanks to reader Rach who reminded me I hadn’t posted a real estate post for sooooooooooooooo long I decided it was time to start house stalking again. Thankfully the market has picked up and there are design treasures popping up again … like this Surry Hills terrace designed by Tribe Studio Architects. From the structural ply kitchen and shelves to concrete floors spilling out to a courtyard through sliding timber doors to the owner’s great taste in mid century classics. The perfect inner, inner Sydney pad. Link here while it lasts.

Today’s second lake house is not only off the grid it’s off the scale for stylish, unplugged living. This weekend getaway is all about natural materials and soft muted tones. If it was mine I’d be living here more than just on weekends. New Buffalo house by Chicago-based Elizabeth Krueger Design.

Certainly no beach shack this Hamptons weekender for a young city couple is part mid century, part transitional, a little whimsical and always with a subtle sophistication. I never understand why people actually leave these “weekenders” to return to the work-a-day rat race. I’d be investigating work from home options.
