There is a elegance and old world sophistication to this San Francisco Edwardian home designed (again) by Alecia Stevens. She frankly had me at Edwardian. A timeless stunner. Photos: Ken Gutmaker.
The Wilam Ngarrang Retrofit project highlights the environmental, social, and financial advantages of retrofitting Melbourne’s inner-city apartments. Kennedy Nolan implemented a ‘minimal-intervention’ approach to upgrade a 1970s Fitzroy apartment block. The retrofit improved thermal performance, extended the building’s lifespan and enhanced tenant amenities. Key goals included achieving net-positive energy, reducing water demands, minimizing construction waste and carbon emissions and promoting zero-waste operations. The project retained the building structure, added efficient water systems, a 33kW rooftop solar array and heat recovery ventilation. Tenants enjoy up to 80% bill savings, with two units offered below market rates through non-profit real estate agency HomeGround.

WOW this home is a beauty!!! A new build with traditional details that make it appear over a century old, and the interior gives Tuscan farmhouse vibes. Classic in every sense of the world, and once this home has been there a century it will be just as warm and inviting.

Designer Nadia Watts worked with her client’s expansive (and quite disparate) art collection and made it all work together in their Denver home. Each one taking pride of place among each room and creating such a dynamic yet cohesive vision. I love how eclectic each space is and how it all flows so wonderfully. Photos: Emily Minton-Redfield.
