Aurora

Posted on Wed, 13 Aug 2025 by midcenturyjo

Aurora Residence in South Yarra, designed by We Are Triibe with Rob Mills Architecture, sits high above the Royal Botanical Gardens, its name evoking ethereal light and a sense of renewal. Expansive proportions, statement skylights and a tranquil palette create a refined gallery-like home. The living area flows seamlessly between moments of gathering and quiet reflection. A sculptural timber desk bridges living and work spaces, while deeper tones of forest green and blackened timber define an intimate kitchen and fireside zone. The result is a sophisticated sanctuary that harmonises daily rhythms with warmth, connection and a sense of calm.

As principal of Mila Interiors, Kamila Pagowski blends European sensibility with a New York-honed eye for detail. For a historic Lower Garden District home in New Orleans, she preserved its architectural integrity while infusing vibrant color, pattern and a joyful collection of furnishings and art, a mix of high and low, vintage and new. The result is a warm, unpretentious space thoughtfully tailored to the needs and spirit of a modern family.

The result is a raw yet warm aesthetic, using natural materials to create timeless, welcoming spaces.

In this 217 m² Parisian apartment, Heju reinterpreted Haussmannian tradition with bold forms and organic design. A sweeping built-in unit runs through the space, shifting from entry storage to bookshelf, kitchen cabinetry, and even hiding the master suite entrance. Nordic elements appear in the Douglas pine and Calacatta Viola marble kitchen, while soft arches and curved volumes shape the guest room and bathrooms. The main suite offers a calming palette, sculptural detailing and a sense of playful elegance.
