“The brief. Transform a rare freestanding 1890s Italianate style terrace house in Sydney’s Inner West into a three level home combining the delight of a warm, contemporary aesthetic with the flexibility and robustness required for the changing needs of family life. A respect for the heritage of the original features is paramount as is creating a connection between the interior living spaces and the outside terrace and garden.”

A joyous, light-filled house celebrating the home’s history and future. It’s neutral palette and natural materials are the perfect are beautifully matched by the verdant back deck and courtyard garden. Elià House by Studio Prineas.

My second house today is half a world away from London but shares so much in common with my first. Both Victorian era homes with light, bright open plan extension. Here the new is separated from the old by a glass walkway and has a strong emphasis on a seamless connection between inside and out. Natural materials abound with a strong connection to the houses original stone. Stanley House by Adelaide-based Georgie Shepherd Interior Design.

Hot Miami nights in a cool Miami apartment.  Uber stylish with its muted pastels and 70s and 80s design classics the apartment screams Miami Vice meets good taste. I’m seriously jealous. By Los Angeles based Night Palm Interiors.

“Louis Denavaut was asked to renovate and decorate a duplex owned by two artists. The apartment is located between the Tuileries garden and the Opéra Garnier, with a breathtaking view of the dome atop the Saint Roch church on rue Saint-Honoré.

The living room, flooded with light from a spectacular round window facing the Saint Roch church, has a 1970s Italian table and a custom-designed banquette made from panels of bleached oak with leather cushions.”

As if that wasn’t enough a white steel mezzanine with a glass floor perches above, the kitchen features an island made of veined Pele de Tigre marble and the bathroom is fully tiled in black zellige. I may be hideously jealous but I’m also incredibly inspired. Saint Roch by interior architect Louis Denavaut.

“I work very much in collaboration with the home owner in a fluid and responsive way, listening firstly to how you want to use the space and what you believe to be precious and beautiful, I also take cues from the property itself. Thus creating authentic, unexpected, meaningful design. I look to bespoke items, antiques and vintage finds for sustainability and to make each and every project truly unique.”
