“It was such a pleasure to design on such a unique block rarely found so close to the beach. A relatively flat block, it was the subtle level changes between the built forms and the gardens that enabled some creative design opportunities in the form of boardwalks and decks. These have been designed in a way that evokes a sense of the coast, meandering along a boardwalk with a body of water, grass or garden beneath you. That small, almost unnoticed separation makes all the difference. The pool has been comfortably nestled into a corner with limestone paving that also descends into the pool and throughout it, creating a beautiful water tone. The homeowner is fastidious about the lawn which is like a bowling green, and the garden needed to create holiday vibes where barefoot living is demanded as well as desired by anyone entering the Villa.”

It’s every Australian’s dream, a home by the beach and an amazing backyard. A truly fabulous lifestyle garden in Manly, Sydney by Landart.

With its post war modernist bones it would be easy to reproduce a retro 50’s decor or worse demo and create a bare modern interior. Instead Warsaw-based interior design firm Colombe celebrated the building painting everything white then appling pops of colour framed like works of art and filling it with a mix of midcentury and contemporary pieces. Fun, fabulous and fresh, a liveable, loveable family home.

Light-filled and fabulous this Madrid apartment by Espejo & Goyanes celebrates the historic bones of the building but adds a refined contemporary sophistication. Natural wood tones combine with brighter than bright whites while golden metals and black accents punctuate the scheme.

It’s like I saw week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Magnolia by Quiet Studios.

Your first home together as a couple is a special place. A step on the ladder, an expression of your personality. This apartment in Madrid’s lively Trafalgar district is light, bright and surprisingly open for such a small space. Curves bring interest to the boxy space as does the statement green kitchen. A beautiful way to start your property journey. Vivienda en Trafalgar by Helena Martín.
