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.

“A former bedsit, completely overhauled to function as a five bedroom family home across three floors. The client’s brief was ‘relaxed, playful, timeless and colourful’ which could grow as they grew as a family. Working closely with the client, Architect Studio McLeod, and lighting Designer Studio Stileman, we formed a totally new layout which incorporated every functional requirement but with a playful twist.”

Fabulous use of colour, pattern and texture. Layered with antiques and beautiful textiles. A fun, fresh and stylish family home by Natasha Quick.
