It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Bennett & Barkell by CASWELL.

“This Parisian pied-à-terre combines Haussmannian elegance with a modern décor. The classic volumes, mouldings, and fireplace add a timeless touch, while the marble floor patterns and soft hues create a subtle contrast, enhancing the serene atmosphere of the space.”

Batiik Studio creates bold, refined interiors, blending balanced shapes, vibrant colours and storytelling. The result? A softness, cheerfulness and above all elegance.

Gully House, by Andrew Burges Architects, is situated on a steep site backing into the forested gully of Clovelly Beach in Sydney. Designed as a 3-4 bedroom residence, the project sought to establish a strong connection to its surroundings both spatially and materially. The original masonry cottage had minimal links between its north-facing front and its south-facing rear which directly accessed Clovelly Beach. The design reimagined the house as an extension of the gully, maintaining visual continuity across the site. The north/south facade, with its transparency and split-level cross-section, visually connects the northern courtyard to the southern landscape. Meanwhile, the east/west facades serve as filters for privacy, ventilation and glare, incorporating layered planting. Given the proximity of neighbouring dwellings, various screening systems—including masonry, timber, and brick—were used. Materials such as stone paving and concrete create seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces, softened by refined oak finishes.

Portsea Beach House by Melbourne-based AM Architecture is a coastal retreat designed for a family of five on an expansive site with stunning views of Portsea and the bay. A concrete pavilion houses the main living areas and master suite, opening on both sides to blend seamlessly with the landscape. A timber-clad L-shaped wing contains bedrooms and amenities, creating distinct zones for parents and children. The material palette of washed-out timbers and natural hues enhances the home’s connection to its surroundings. Native grasses, a swimming pool and a tennis court integrate the design with nature, offering a tranquil escape from urban life.

Canning Street, a 110-square-metre home by Melbourne-based Fooman Architects, highlights the beauty of small-footprint living with bright, calming spaces for family life and entertaining. Northern light pours through a tall glass facade, while high-level reeded glass and an enclosed garden illuminate the eastern side. A curved ceiling shapes distinct areas, and timber columns along the eastern wall frame key functions, bringing rhythm, clarity, and organization to the home’s thoughtful design.
