Boronkay Studio have transformed this Victorian villa in leafy Richmond into a layered family home that balances grandeur with intimacy. Guided by a philosophy of blending tradition and innovation, the studio reimagined the property to reflect both its architectural elegance and the family’s multicultural background. The interiors weave vintage Italian and French pieces with bespoke furniture and collected artworks, creating a deeply personal narrative. Bold colors, subtle textures, and expressive detailing converge to shape a soulful, timeless home.

This stunning five-bedroom, six-storey family home in Islington is the result of a meticulous three-year collaboration between our studio and long-time clients. The property underwent a significant transformation by Chris Dyson Architects, including a basement conversion, frameless new attic windows, a full restoration and a rear extension. The result is a contemporary home with an eclectic twist, where modern interventions seamlessly enhance the building’s historic charm. Bespoke joinery plays a major role in the home’s design, from a sleek drinks bar to a statement media unit that conceals the TV behind elegant sliding doors above a modern fireplace. Throughout the home, luxurious finishes add depth and character, including wallpapers and murals from Elitis, Arte, and Cole & Son.
I love how risks were taken throughout this home by designer Mia Karlsson, it is 100% unique and each space had its own personality to coincide with the activities that would occur there. Photos: Ben Sage.

An incremental remodel of a historic Victorian homestead in Portland’s Mount Tabor neighborhood.  We worked closely and collaboratively with the clients, over a decade, to transform their beloved old house, bit by bit, into something that truly is their home. 
Home of James Mercer of The Shins, his garden designer wife and their 3 kids, this home is everything I continue to adore about designer Jessica Helgerson. It’s always in keeping with the history of the home, lots of vintage elements and attention to detail like no other. Yet another spectacular kitchen, a bedroom ensuite that is maybe my favourite of all time (with a tile floor of dreams), and it’s just got charm oozing from every corner. As if the exterior wasn’t cute enough…. Photos: Aaron Leitz.

A 1951 Colonial Revival home in Point Dume, reimagined by Sarah Solis as a serene and soulful family retreat. Rather than expanding the footprint, the focus was on preserving the home’s original structure while layering in warmth, texture, and character. Plaster walls, vintage pieces, and custom Galerie Solis furnishings define the interiors, bringing quiet richness and a sense of ease to each space. Natural light, vaulted ceilings, and thoughtful materials create a feeling of calm throughout. Outdoors, mature olive trees, a vegetable garden, and an open kitchen connect the home to the land and the rhythms of California living.
Bless her for understanding how magical this home’s original features were and not engaging in a gut renovation. The warmth and sophistication, liveable and enveloping atmosphere Sarah has created here is really special. No doubt her dream home. Photos: Michael Clifford.

Maddux Creative’s redesign of this late Georgian former rectory in Kent began with its bathrooms and soon extended throughout the home. Inspired by the tranquil countryside, the team used natural textures, soft timber tones and a warm, gentle palette to evoke a refreshed country atmosphere. Original features, including staircase woodwork, were preserved and complemented with contemporary furnishings. New intricate timber flooring, bespoke dressing room and extensive joinery enhanced functionality. A fully panelled snug, created from existing fragments, and views through large sash windows to the gardens and meadow complete this thoughtfully layered transformation.
