This may be a simple home consisting of essentially a box with a gabled roof, but the beauty is in the simplicity of it. A burnished stucco exterior, metal roof, Douglas fir framed windows, and a central double height living space make it feel grand and soooo bright and airy. I loooove the large steel trellis added at the back of the house for some much needed shade. Modern, minimal and really cool. Designed by Side Angle Side for photographer Casey Dunn (his photos, obviously).

Hilltop House by Sydney-based Richards Stanisich is a thoughtfully designed family home that merges emotion with elegance. In collaboration with Stafford Architecture, the interior design embraces the site’s elevated harbour views and architectural form. The brief called for warmth and texture within a clean, modern structure. A dark, layered palette adds intimacy, balanced by abundant natural light. Seamless integration with the garden was key; external paving continues indoors, while a draped linen ceiling subtly echoes the surrounding tree canopy, enhancing connection and flow throughout.

Childhood, the experts say, is what shapes our taste as adults, and Barry Dixon readily admits this holds true for him. Raised in a gracious Southern manor and historic residences around the world, he grew up with tall ceilings, sweeping staircases, wide moldings, claw-foot tubs, and fireplaces in nearly every room. The romance of traditional architecture with its proper scale and proportion never left him, and when he came across an old Edwardian manor for sale in the Virginia countryside, it was like coming back home.
A quick google search leads me to believe Barry has since sold this spectacular home, but given how stunning every inch of this home is, I bet that was not an easy decision. This is about as elegant and layered and full of history as it gets.

On the Upper East Side, Australian interior designer Greg Natale’s New York townhouse reflects the city’s vibrant spirit and its owner’s global influences. Once a mixed-use building, it now blends Italian craftsmanship and Parisian flair. Natale reinstated the original two-door entrance and infused the interiors with bold marble, vintage finds, and bespoke details like the floral chandelier by Crizu. Inspired by a pink and green palette, the layered design celebrates art, culture, and creativity, with the ground floor serving as a dedicated art school.

This 7 bedorom, 9 bathroom, 11,500 sq ft new build in Encino, California was given an absolutely stunning interior that is warm, timeless and full of lived-in character thanks to designer Christina Cole. I can barely get passed the kitchen – the Calacatta Cadia marble, the hammered brass wrapped island, the stunning white oak & glass uppers (those curves!) and of course a butler’s pantry. Much of the furniture is very curvy and plush which adds sooo much coziness. The warm, soft tones of all the walls and furnishings and wood accents are so soothing. It is a wonderful mix of elegance and comfort. Photos: Nils Timm.
