“A simple curving wall was employed to unify previously awkward and poorly defined spaces by wrapping and distinguishing the living, kitchen and dining rooms. The wall is present in every room, yet never visible in its entirety. This element contrasts the smaller, more intimate dining and kitchen nooks and provides a fluid backdrop to the main living areas, whilst concealing valuable storage space.”

Do you know what I love about a good kitchen? Not the colour of the cabinets or whether the benchtops are stone. OK the layout is very important and I do love open shelving, contentious I know. No what I love about a good kitchen is clever storage and great design, a home for everything and everything in its home. Boards pull out from cabinets, garbage is sorted neatly and dogs have dinner stations. It’s the extras that make a kitchen special like this light-filled room by award winning kitchen design firm Studio Dearborn.

“This romantic San Francisco town house, bathed in pale pinks and gossamer blues, belongs to an adventurous couple who live not far outside the city. Based on conversations with them, the fanciful conceit for our design was that this is a place where the husband comes to visit his wife in her private lair. As such, the décor falls decidedly on the feminine side. Vive la difference, vive l’amour!”

Devon McKeon and Jess Fleming create modernized, usable, stylish and at times dramatic spaces. I am obsessed with that monochromatic, jewel-toned dining room. Delish! (Photos: Amy Bartlam)

The dark exterior sits firmly in its woodland setting belying the fact that the interiors are bright, light-filled and welcoming. It’s like night and day. A house that hides and rooms that shine. Upper Road by Mill Valley, California based The Workroom.
