The kitchen in this 1930s Colonial Revival home in Seattle’s Interlaken neighbourhood was redesigned by Studio Laloc to honour its Dutch colonial roots. Inspired by historic Amsterdam kitchens the statement hood recalls open hearth fireplaces while traditional detailing and a blue cabinetry palette enhance authenticity. For the young family functionality was key with sustainable appliances, ample storage and a built-in banquette creating a welcoming, efficient space. The result is a timeless yet practical kitchen blending history with modern comfort.

This four story Victorian home in Oxford had once been a boarding house for a local school. At some point it was converted into a proper home and the layout sorted, and when designer Charlotte Boundy was enlisted to add some design to the interior she created a serene and relaxing home with the prettiest of colours and patterns. The result is brighter, softer and much more welcoming. Photos: Paul Whitbread.

An ancient finca reimagined, Can San Mateo blends old-world charm with contemporary elegance. Set in one of Ibiza’s north-west valleys, this five-bedroom villa has been transformed by architect Pascal Cheikh Djavadi with interior design by Dymfy Erens.

Designer Liz MacPhail saved this bungalow in Austin, Texas (along with Forrm Architects) and turned it into an absolutely charming home filled with character and history, and now modernity, whilst improving the flow and utility of the spaces. And salvaged everything she could along the way. Kudos to those ethos. Photos: Casey Dunn.

Portsea Beach House by Melbourne-based AM Architecture is a coastal retreat designed for a family of five on an expansive site with stunning views of Portsea and the bay. A concrete pavilion houses the main living areas and master suite, opening on both sides to blend seamlessly with the landscape. A timber-clad L-shaped wing contains bedrooms and amenities, creating distinct zones for parents and children. The material palette of washed-out timbers and natural hues enhances the home’s connection to its surroundings. Native grasses, a swimming pool and a tennis court integrate the design with nature, offering a tranquil escape from urban life.
