“Tasked with creating an urban oasis on a small block in a densely populated area, connecting to the street and community while maintaining privacy for the residents was key. Nine-Square Bondi is a reflection of the client’s global and creative mindset, incorporating influences of time spent living in Hong Kong, their eclectic collection of art and love of Brazilian Brutalist houses. The core concept was to draw on their individuality but also to embrace and reflect the unique character of the Bondi Beach locality: casual, communal, colourful, imperfect and unadorned.”

This deep and deliciously renovated home was transformed from modern farmhouse to something more timeless (and darker colours yessssss) and required the reuse of some pretty sweet existing pieces the owner already had. I adore how moody and not-so-trendy this home is, and I’m feeling the sort of old world gentlemen’s club elements. Anything beats modern farmhouse, amiright?

“Somers Beach House occupies a prominent beach fronted property overlooking Westernport Bay with expansive views to Phillip Island and beyond to Bass Strait. The house sits on the steepest section of the site, with two generous levels acting independently of one another. It is designed as an inter-generational holiday house, with a focus on the upper level of the home being comfortable when occupied only by a retired couple.”

“Peace, serenity, and escape—that’s the feeling this home evokes. Floridian Harbour is designed to be an architectural dreamscape filled with whimsical details, island motifs, and entertaining features for ultimate relaxation. The project was a ground-up home designed in collaboration with Smith and Moore Architects based out of Palm Beach, known for their classic yet innovative projects.”

It’s about ease, luxury, wellness, and comfort. Impactful but liveable. Floridian Harbour by Los Angeles-based Studio Jake Arnold.
