The bedroom features a sofa bed, the bathroom is best described as retro but that it’s the kitchen that has Airbnb guests coming back again and again. The perfect Parisian pad to cook up a feast for 12 (and have room for them to sit down) or perhaps teach a class or style a photo shoot. It’s gone to the top of my travel bucket list. For more information visit Kai’s Kitchen Paris.

Contemporary by the sea with a mid century vibe taken to the next level with terracotta floors, limewashed ceilings, concrete accents and Oblica fireplace. Add in the bold art works and on point furnishings and this is one cool beach shack in Jan Juc on Victoria’s Surf Coast. Unfortunately for us it has been quickly snapped up. Link here while it lasts.

This modern extension to an Edwardian era house has resulted in something very special. Think contemporary sculpture meets colour blocking, new connections between inside and out and restraint versus drama. The Oak House (named for the mature oak that dominates the site) by Melbourne based Kennedy Nolan.

I just had to share one more kitchen from Taylor + Taylor. I love that they take a different view on what can easily be a boring white, shiny, utilitarian box for food prep. In their design hands kitchens have souls. You can see the rest of this colourful home here.

From the board formed concrete walls and the concrete encaustic tiles to the simple plywood cabinets topped with sleek and seamless stainless steel counters this kitchen by Taylor + Taylor is a stylish example of contemporary rustic. Rough against smooth, complex pattern against plain this small but well designed kitchen is definitely not your run of the mill, ho-hum heart of the house. The designers are favourites of mine. You can see the kitchen that gave me the blues here.
