“A minimalist approach employed throughout this pavilion style renovation creates a home that is unpretentious and quiet, calming and restorative allowing its owners to revive and recharge away from busy professional careers. Soft colours, screens and an extensive use of natural materials hint effortlessly at Japanese architecture as a primary inspiration. Large windows maximise the garden view while allowing an abundance of natural light to soften the interior. Strong architectural forms of the house and terrace areas including the striking white timber fins pavilion terrace are softened by a considered landscaping approach. Open plan living areas with fully retractable sliding glass panels allow for a seamless transition to the outdoor timber deck, creating a strong connection to the garden. This flexibility also allows for options to follow the sun, shade and comfortable breeze in summer.”

A fibro beach shack on the Victorian coast gets one hell of a makeover by SJB. This project is now seven years old. Just goes to show that good design stands the test of time.

“Sun-drenched Miami inspires a tropical theme. This home lives in one of the world’s most vivid cities. Its landscape comprises lush, languorous palms; coconut groves; vibrant red-orange firebush flowers; coral limestone; golden sands; azure skies and sapphire ocean. Textural natural materials, such as copper and unfilled limestone, are juxtaposed for visual interest. While the contrast is felt, the effect is subtle. A collection of contemporary art by artists with ties to Miami brings a contrasting vibrant energy to the historic architecture.”

I love seeing into a designer’s own home. The spaces shine with creativity and love. Love of vintage and antique, light and views, pattern and colour. Beautiful yet liveable, profoundly personal and functional. Sea View Project, the San Francisco home of Caitlin Flemming.

“Warmth and character were of the utmost importance when designing this Eagle Rock ground up new construction. Modern lighting, clean lines, beautiful vaulted ceilings and an attention to detail gave the home a consistent, jaw dropping presence—all while feeling equally intimate and cozy.”

Mixing Japandi-style and a natural materials palette this complete remodel not only created a stylish contemporary home but also an equally smart secondary housing unit. EagleRock Modern by A1000xBetter.

“The client wanted to maintain the rich history and tradition forged by their parents and grandparents while creating a beautiful updated space in which they could forge new memories and traditions. The details and client’s history of the land, lake and home allowed us to be very creative, playful and add to the integrity of the home’s significance and lifetimes of memories to come. We challenged ourselves to hold the history of the home while enriching the space with the needs of our clients’ growing young family and future generations.”
