“Merging playful, textural, luxurious elements, Malvern Residence III is an uplifting family home that is cleverly terraced into its leafy Malvern landscape. Fostering a sense of togetherness, it embraces the principles of Wabi Sabi – a Japanese philosophy centred around the beauty and humility of natural patina – manifesting as a sophisticated, liveable home.”

Melbourne-based Studio Tate have created an elegant, inviting family home that harmonizes with its natural surroundings.

Clements is a transformed Californian bungalow in Drummoyne, Sydney featuring a two-storey refurbishment by Some Studio. The design turned a once disconnected interior into an expansive, tactile space that flows harmoniously. The interior reflects the local landscape and exudes quiet luxury through light, texture, and rich colours. Burnished oak and the original deep brown brick anchor the home’s design, while Ross Gardam feature lighting and Brodware brass tapware add refined details. Earthy materials like rich marbles and organic plaster balance solid forms. Major floor plan changes created open communal spaces with a central free-form island and skylights maximizing natural light for a vibrant, modern lifestyle.

Chloe Tozer, founder of CLO Studios, and Jack Clissold’s home, Villa des Fleurs, merges French countryside and Italian influences to form a bright, creative retreat. Surrounded by lush gardens, the house features repurposed materials like recycled terracotta tiles, evoking a Tuscan villa. Custom furniture blends with vintage finds, including 1950s lamps by Audoux Minet. Heirlooms, travel treasures, a beehive, and vegetable gardens infuse the space with a spirit of cooking, creativity, and play.

This custom-built home is not only the personal residence of Allison Willson and her family but represents everything design means to her. Nestled on 50 acres of rolling hills just outside of Creemore, Ontario, the farm is a testament to Allison’s appreciation of craftsmanship. It has a long and linear layout, paired with rustic selections and a palette that defies traditional hues, resulting in a unique blend of contemporary and old-world charm. From the rubble-finished limestone to the carefully chosen furnishings, the house unites the beauty of natural materials, timeworn antiques, and modern furnishings while remaining warm, elevated, and, most importantly, liveable.
What an absolutely stunning home!!! I don’t have too many Canadian designers I admire but Allison is now one I will be keeping an eye on. So many elements in her home that I’m sure would be inspirational for my next home. Photos: Patrick Biller.

Classic, yet unique and unexpected. Livable. Legit antiques, cool vintage, modern art, good bones, texture and materials, custom and found….
Next level sophistication and spaces for every possible need, including relaxing, drinking, dining, chilling, sleeping, lounging, smoking, cleaning…. I am obsessed with the stick figure art grouping in the living room (by Jean-Marc Louis). Pacific Heights I by Lisa Hilderbrand. Photos: John Merkl.
