This contemporary extension to a Federation home in Sydney’s Bondi is light, bright and family friendly. The open plan, luxe but subtle material palette and the layering of texture result in welcoming modern living that brings this beautiful old home into a new century.

Formal and relaxed, classic and contemporary, inside to out. It’s the perfect mix of the best of the original California bungalow and a modern extension to the rear. Calm and welcoming with restrained touches of luxury modern living. My favourite space? Why the kitchen with its modern reworking of an art deco vibe. Queens Park House by Sydney-based Arent & Pyke.

I really love the bright, neutral, modern vibes happening in this Texas home designed by Amanda Brooke. The entertainment feature wall is a brilliant design choice, with built-in lighting and storage, and the brass accents in the kitchen with matching marble is gorgeous. (Photos: Jack Thompson)

“The Clay House, situated in Bethnal Green overlooks two parks, one to the East on the bedroom side with the living quarters facing Weavers Fields to the West. We were struck with how the light cast long shadows deep in to the plan from the afternoon in to evening reminding us of the carved rock formations found in the Western USA – a narrow gap punctured with light. The clients, with roots in California via the Philippines and Ireland sought a retreat from the pressures of city life and for it to be a simple space to work, eat and live. Raw clay plaster walls and ceilings run through the apartment with beaten old white floorboards refurbished but still storied. Cacti and olive trees coexist against a backdrop of an aged birch kitchen with handcut tile countertops and an onyx mosaic bathroom. A travertine table forms the heart of the working, dining and living area bouncing light deeper through the space.”

An oasis in the bustling city. Tactile and soothing with a wabi sabi vibe. Clay House, pared back living by London-based architecture and interiors practice Red Deer.

Relaxed monochromatic living with its restrained palette enhanced by the masterful use of texture. Think light and airy, natural materials and a heightened sense of style. Welcoming and cosy, perfect for family and friends. Southside by Atlanta-based Melanie Turner Interiors.
