The ongoing collaboration between Laminex and architectural firm Kennedy Nolan has created another exciting kitchen. By colour blocking and playing with scale the studio kitchen has so much more impact. Dark walls recede, benchtops are chunky and wide while storage is simple yet generous for the small space.

Light-filled yet moody the Hamburg home of interior designer, stylist and photographer Peter Fehrentz is a sophisticated oasis in the bustling city. Beautiful high windows and a sense of space, of volume, are the starting point for the masculine yet layered and considered apartment.
This home may look California from the street but it has such a warmth and natural, almost old world feel that you might think at first glance it’s in the South of France or Italy. Only things missing are the rolling hills and olive groves. Whatever feelings it evokes, it is absolutely beautiful and clearly cooking and entertaining where food is involved is key.

Sophie Rowell of Côte de Folk Interiors takes a home’s imperfections and makes them shine. No no not in a bad way, in a magical perfectly imperfect way. It’s a celebration and elevation of everyday beauty, of the authentic and individual. This is her own home. Pieces change in and out as she sources more treasure or shares her finds with others. I could be totally happy sitting in that dining room in whatever incarnation. Just need a pot of tea and a friend come to share it with me.
Yes it’s pracitical and beautiful but this contemporary house is taken to the next level by the bespoke joinery. Attention to detail and then just a little bit more. I’m swooning over the cerused oak featured throughout. House M by Cassandra Walker Design.
