The house had been decorated by the previous owners in a very bland neutral palette and layers of white gloss paint concealed the stone gothic windows. Revealing the wonderfully golden Ham stone hiding behind all those layers of paint set the tone for the decorative schemes which are strong and warm. The tired master bedroom suite was re-worked, enlarging the opening between the bedroom and dressing room allowing the east morning light to flood into the bedroom. The dressing room is lined with bespoke painted joinery with linen door panels, which flows over and underneath the windows creating deep window seats. The bathroom design centres around an original reconditioned art deco double basin, paired with a free-standing Water Monopoly bath under the window. In the entrance hall we used bespoke painted panelling to unite a variety of different door, window and ceiling heights and differing door styles. On the 2nd floor we created a teenage hangout making use of an underused and tricky roof space.
I love that the original details were uncovered or maintained and the home modernized for how we live today. Designed by Studio Bizley. Photos: Emma Lewis

"We opted for a colour palette that eschews the expected coastal bright whites and cool blues for a sophisticated pairing of sun-kissed terracotta ­­and earthy khaki with judicious accents of soft blues and greens ... Fun, youthful and relaxed, the home sparks joy for its inhabitants and visitors, but above all it is a practical family home where function is paramount."

Definitely not your clichéd beach house or Brutalist concrete bunker this Palm Beach, Sydney home takes both styles and turns them on their heads. PLAYA House by Hugh-Jones Mackintosh.

Mid-century sensitivities, outside in living and a killer collection of art and furniture. Amidst a sea of beige this East Hampton mid-century modern home by New York-based David Scott Interiors is visually refreshing and extremely functional.

A traditional finca and the masterly touch of Swiss architect and designer Valérie Chomarat has resulted in a sensuous minimalism where tradition meets modern with a restrained line, form and palette.
