“This property is situated on the canals of Marina Del Rey and features ocean views on the top floor. The ambience is unique, and the home feels just like an Italian palazzo in the heart of Los Angeles. The home boasts 5 bedrooms, 6 baths, an elevator, sauna, and various living spaces and verandas. Playful, strong marbles were used throughout, alongside Italian-sourced lighting and special items found internationally and at local flea markets.”

“Art and Crafts meets Mid Century design in this characterful and homely house in North London. Beautiful timbers, terracotta flooring, handmade tiles and lime wash paint provide a calm backdrop to playful colours and prints; resulting in a home which is both uplifting and restful in equal measure.”

LA designer Gabrielle Aker “founded Aker Interiors with the innate belief that the spaces we inhabit greatly impact us. The power of beauty and the feeling of home is deeply consequential to the way we live, affecting our emotional, spiritual, & physical selves.” Interiors are highly personalized, a marriage of the client’s individuality and the studio’s eye for detail none more so than their stylish Chelsea project.

In Sydney’s lower north shore, Hearth House by Arent & Pyke reinvigorates a Federation-style residence, fostering connections through its redesign. The sunken lounge, once a garage, now serves as the heart of the home, linking formal rooms and a rear extension. Various stone selections unify the space with expressive curves and angular planes, creating a softly luminous sanctuary. Architect Luigi Rosselli introduces structural alterations to maximize natural lighting. Removal of the narrow staircase enhances the flow, while olive-shaded leather handrails and custom runners add tactile richness. Fluted travertine tiles adorn the fireplace, linking spaces upstairs. Warmth and interaction are encouraged through immersive colors and textures, echoing throughout the house. Sharp granite and travertine planes in the kitchen are softened by stained timber joinery. Birch-hued wool upholstery wraps the lounge, inviting comfort, while terracotta tones add warmth.

When traditional and modern come together and do that dance I love so much. I am soooo pleased to see beautiful wood architecture not painted over. Woollahra harbour view house designed by Handelsmann & Khaw. Photos: Felix Forest.
