“Merging playful, textural, luxurious elements, Malvern Residence III is an uplifting family home that is cleverly terraced into its leafy Malvern landscape. Fostering a sense of togetherness, it embraces the principles of Wabi Sabi – a Japanese philosophy centred around the beauty and humility of natural patina – manifesting as a sophisticated, liveable home.”

Melbourne-based Studio Tate have created an elegant, inviting family home that harmonizes with its natural surroundings.

Studio Vero, founded by Romanos Brihi and Venetia Rudebeck in 2014, has transformed this Notting Hill house into a striking, entertainment-focused space. From the entrance featuring aubergine gloss-painted woodwork and pink walls to the blue sitting and dining rooms, the mustard kitchen cabinets to the midnight blue TV room colour is the core of the design. Add in pattern from wallpaper and fabrics to the mix as well as a marriage of old and new furniture and you have a triumph of individual design.

The Barn by Lot 1 was originally a stable on a homestead property located 10 minutes south of Berry, NSW. The clients aimed to transform it into a self-contained guest house for family and friends, including a full kitchen, laundry, dining, living area, bathroom, WC and storage. Behind the weatherboard exterior, the interior features a spacious and airy layout achieved through strategic design. A large void emphasizes the double-height ceiling and internal windows create dynamic sightlines. The spiral staircase connects two upstairs bedrooms. The design integrates stained and oiled original beams offering warmth and contrast. The kitchen’s appliances are concealed behind timber joinery. Hardwood flooring, neutral concrete, sisal carpets and linen curtains enhance comfort and luxury with a palette reflecting the natural surroundings. Upstairs, ample storage and a peach-toned curtain provide privacy and functionality, complementing the overall aesthetic.

This full renovation of an Edwardian semi-detached home by Studio Warnars screams quintessentially English design. Colour, pattern, the mix of old and new then pumped up with a quirky sense of humour. Every detail matters, from architectural elements to carefully chosen accessories and art pieces. Creativity is mixed with functionality, resulting in spaces that captivate the eye and enrich daily life.

This beautiful townhouse in Monnickendam, The Netherlands was designed by DAB Studio. Taking advantage of tall ceiling heights and some original historic elements, this home was transformed into a really unique, modern and minimal oasis. The kitchen is a stunner with all rounded corners creating a fluid space, and flows with the rounded glass and wood partition from the staircase. It’s amazing how much warmer and organic a space can feel with curves rather than sharp edges. The rounded shape of the kitchen backsplash accentuates all of the curves and helps delineate the kitchen. All of these creative elements I’m taking note of. Photos: Daniëlle Siobhán.
