A playful take on elevated interiors, this project by Altus Design Studio blends bold, colour-infused aesthetics with carefully curated art and objects. Prioritizing function and form, spatial planning was key, especially with expat clients overseeing the renovation from Asia. Redesigned joinery optimizes space, enhancing double-height ceilings in the casual living area. Earthy clay tones flow seamlessly throughout, creating warmth and cohesion. The result is a striking yet highly functional home that balances beauty and everyday living.

Petit Retreat by Stafford Architects embodies elegance, craftsmanship, and timeless design while seamlessly integrating with its surroundings. Collaborating with Studio Snoop, the interiors embrace the studio’s heart-centric approach, prioritizing love, joy and innovation. Inspired by “Bondi Living” the residence features a dynamic screen that balances privacy and connection to the lively streetscape. Coastal materials like weatherboard cladding, bagged brick and bohemian upholstery enhance its relaxed, beachside aesthetic.

Designer Liz MacPhail saved this bungalow in Austin, Texas (along with Forrm Architects) and turned it into an absolutely charming home filled with character and history, and now modernity, whilst improving the flow and utility of the spaces. And salvaged everything she could along the way. Kudos to those ethos. Photos: Casey Dunn.













This turnkey London apartment, located in the iconic brutalist Barbican Estate, serves as a second home for its owners, providing a welcoming and textured retreat for work trips and family visits. The space by Otta Design is filled with natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a soothing atmosphere. A rich layering of textures, soft furnishings, and bold mid-century silhouettes enhances the interior. Original teak wardrobes were retained, while a bespoke extendable dining table and banquette were commissioned. Thoughtfully curated elements bring warmth and character, making it a stylish yet comfortable urban sanctuary.
