A neutral, timeless and classic home in Nashville, designed by Samantha Stein, is loaded with all the details you need. There’s a library/bar chill space, a to-die-for kitchen with butler’s pantry of my dreams and cool marble-front sink accent, built-in space for dog bowls, cozy banquette dining nook, laundry room with built-in cat litter area, all weather porch…and the list goes on!

The Atwater House by Design, Bitches has evolved with its family over 20 years. Once a 500 sq.ft. near-teardown it now features an office, pool house, living room, and bedroom with a green roof. The original structure was replaced with a kitchen/dining area and bedrooms for the children. Custom finishes include oak, walnut, concrete tiles, and steel skylights. Natural light, insulation, and strategic tree planting minimize the need for artificial lighting, heating and cooling.

The Drip-Dry house by Sydney-based architectural firm Marker embodies a philosophy of simplicity and togetherness. Designed for inter-generational living, it focuses on essential living experiences and nurturing relationships. Near the beach, the house features concrete floors and low-maintenance landscaping for easy upkeep. The double-height living space includes a versatile, budget-friendly commercial kitchen. The layout is efficient, with the main house consisting of two connected boxes: one for bedrooms and bathrooms, the other for communal living spaces. Decks on both sides provide all-day indoor/outdoor living, while an outbuilding accommodates guests or remote work.

Surrey-based interior designers Pringle & Pringle completely reimagined this Victorian property, overcoming its unconventional layout to create a unique home. The floorplan was redesigned for practicality and aesthetics, featuring four separate entertaining spaces, ensuites for each bedroom and a central family kitchen. Matching limewashed walls, chevron flooring and Carrara marble fireplaces unite the reception rooms. Functional spaces were elevated with bespoke joinery and custom designs personalized each child’s bedroom.
