“Traditional architectural details are blended with the contemporary to create a cohesive home for the modern family. WPD blended a neutral foundation with pops of color to enhance the home’s finishes and create depth. Beautiful fabrics mix well with slick metals and warm woods in this eclectic residence.”

Beautiful, functional and soooooo much storage in this stylish renovation. A fabulous family home by Indianapolis based Whittney Parkinson Design.

Great old bones but this Chicago house needed an injection of character when it came time to renovate. Carefully curated vintage finds, splashes of colour and an almost Parisian flair. Sophisticated and nuanced. Hyde Park House by Jen Talbot Design.

“An existing heritage building is transformed through the introduction of a modern, two-storey addition that playfully re-interprets the distinctive geometry of the original dwelling through a contemporary lens. Capturing abundant natural light and garden aspects, the new addition employs a refined and subtle palette of brick, steel and timber.”

Adding more space to a heritage home isn’t always about replicating the existing style. Sometimes it’s better to clearly delineate between old and new. This contemporary extension with its umbilical cord of glass and brick connecting it to the mother house shares similar materials such as brick while referencing the existing hips and gables in its form. York Street Residence by Melbourne-based Jackson Clements Burrows Architects.

“Simplicity was at the core of what we wanted to create. Our mantra throughout the design process was always: what is the most simple solution? When we started the project we had the vision to create a living space that would look humble but feel extremely vast and open. We really wanted the volumes and proportions to play with the surrounding nature as this is such an important element of why its owners chose this exact spot.”

Nestled in the dunes, sitting in harmony with its surrounds The Dunes is the epitome of beautiful simplicity and seemingly simple beauty. Can we just acknowledge how perfect that last image is? By Amsterdam-based The Loft.

You knew I wouldn’t be able to stop at just one stunning property for sale via Fantastic Frank. Of course I couldn’t. Not when there is this fabulous apartment in uptown Barcelona available. The floors, the mouldings, those beautiful stripped wooden doors and the master ensuite with a bath with a view. Love it all!
