In 1985, a historic Redfern warehouse built in 1903 as McMurties Shoe Factory underwent one of Sydney’s first warehouse-to-apartment transformations. Today, Studio Noakes has worked their magic refurbishing one of the apartments. The building’s heritage shines through high ceilings, hardwood columns and exposed rafters. The studio carefully restored and enhanced these industrial features, seamlessly blending history with a contemporary aesthetic. Bold colours, expansive forms and textured spaces highlight the client’s dynamic art collection, showcasing works from local talents. Fusing natural, vintage and iconic pieces has created a vibrant harmony in this young artist’s home. The result is a space that balances historical character with creative energy, reflecting the vibrancy of its inner-city surroundings.

Vaughan Design & Development recently took on the interior design for a spacious six-bedroom family home in Harpenden in Hertfordshire, England. As a new build, the goal was to add warmth, character and functionality to accommodate the clients’ busy lives with young children. Advocates of colour and playful design, Vaughan also needed practical features like a first-floor laundry, boot room, large playroom and luxurious adult spaces. The studio blended natural materials with layered details, traditional fittings and vibrant elements creating a bright, joyful home tailored to the family’s needs.

This 1886 farmhouse is so full of charm and such pretty colours. Embracing its history and giving it all the vintage vibes. By Studio Day Design.

Ken Fulk‘s summer residence, “Baxter’s Landing” is a shingled house built around 1880, overlooking the Provincetown harbor. It is a treasure trove of vintage and antique finds, is about as casual and worn as one can crave, and makes me want to find a painted dog portrait to hang at the end of my hallway.

This seaside home, nestled on Pacific Ocean dunes, was designed for empty nesters seeking casual comfort for their family. Lauren Nelson Design reimagined the layout, updated interiors, and furnished the three-bedroom retreat. The result is understated, offering quiet luxury with natural, durable materials that harmonize with the coastal surroundings of beach, ocean, and mountains, ensuring timeless elegance in a marine environment.
