“Respecting the rich culture and architecture of the building, we seek to restore it’s natural raw beauty, before injecting unexpected moments of contemporary culture, representing the youth of its occupier.”

“Resurrected from a ruinous state, The Bank in Vaughan reclaims its former stature through careful restoration and ‘partnering’ with a new pod extension, adapting from a civic building to the next chapter as a country residence.”

The slate clad pod houses the bathroom, light and bright in contrast to the moody bank interiors where the vibrant blue was informed by remnants of the original colour scheme.  Breathing new life into an old country town. The Bank by Maria Danos Architecture.

Terra-cotta, mustard, green and blue – such a beautiful array of colours. Since painting my dining room terra-cotta it’s one of my favourite wall colours and to walk into a home and immediately be surrounded by it….*sigh*. This entire home I just want to eat it up – especially the yellow kitchen. Not a single white wall in sight. And I’m not at all mad at that. Another to die for home designed by Reath Design.

Matthew Monroe Bees‘ interiors are OTT Southern maximalism with a touch of traditionalism and elegance that isn’t at all pretentious.
Layered loveliness.

The ongoing collaboration between Laminex and architectural firm Kennedy Nolan has created another exciting kitchen. By colour blocking and playing with scale the studio kitchen has so much more impact. Dark walls recede, benchtops are chunky and wide while storage is simple yet generous for the small space.
