Studio Meghan Eisenberg blends respect for architectural history with bold yet relaxed design. In Treehaven, a 1908 Craftsman in Mount Washington Los Angeles, the design honours the home’s historic character while introducing playful touches for a young family.

A bayside Federation home in Melbourne has been beautifully transformed by interior designer Samantha Eisen. The original red brick facade now wears an aged European-style render, while a rear extension opens onto the garden through a wall of glass framed in soft blue, echoing the warmth of the marble fireplace inside. The old porch has given way to a new kitchen and living area, with arched doors leading to the laundry and scullery. Throughout the home, thoughtful design breathes new life into vintage furniture, while custom touches like an aubergine bathtub and a mosaic-tiled loggia add rich character and charm.

Jennifer Bunsa, interior designer and founder of Bunsa Studio, transformed her cherished family home in Miami with thoughtful, personal touches. Originally built in 1948 and passed down from her great-grandmother, the home was where Jennifer spent her early years. Before moving back from Brooklyn, she updated the space with studio favorites like Marthe Armitage wallpaper, made subtle floor plan improvements, and curated a collection of vintage and custom pieces, including Moroccan rugs and Lindsey Adelman lighting.
