A Craftsman-style home in Caledon, ON

Posted on Wed, 19 Feb 2025 by KiM

Project Alton House. Earthy, moody, and inviting—our concept for this home was inspired by the property’s private forest setting, with an aesthetic that balances the simplicity of natural materials with English-inspired sophistication. In both the exterior and interior, we opted for rich neutrals and enduring style—with plenty of opportunities inside for our client, a ceramicist, to showcase her work.
This house is beautiful. So classic and timeless with colours and finishes that are not trendy and could last for years. By TIffany Leigh Design; Photos: Patrick Biller; Styling: Me&Mo; Build: Kingsgate Construction

Gully House, by Andrew Burges Architects, is situated on a steep site backing into the forested gully of Clovelly Beach in Sydney. Designed as a 3-4 bedroom residence, the project sought to establish a strong connection to its surroundings both spatially and materially. The original masonry cottage had minimal links between its north-facing front and its south-facing rear which directly accessed Clovelly Beach. The design reimagined the house as an extension of the gully, maintaining visual continuity across the site. The north/south facade, with its transparency and split-level cross-section, visually connects the northern courtyard to the southern landscape. Meanwhile, the east/west facades serve as filters for privacy, ventilation and glare, incorporating layered planting. Given the proximity of neighbouring dwellings, various screening systems—including masonry, timber, and brick—were used. Materials such as stone paving and concrete create seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces, softened by refined oak finishes.

A sophisticated condo in Montreal

Posted on Tue, 18 Feb 2025 by midcenturyjo

“In this Outremont condo noble materials reign, the interior design combines various marbles and rich wood textures and natural textiles to create a sophisticated yet understated atmosphere. The subtle interplay of the different materials adds a touch of timeless luxury without overwhelming the airy space. The finished condo offers a comfortable and inviting urban living environment.”

Luke Havekes, founder of the eponymous Luke Havekes Design, believes that there should always be a story at the heart of every space no matter what style and what a story this Montreal home tells. Richly textured, art filled, masculine and moody.

A colourful Tudor farmhouse in Suffolk

Posted on Mon, 17 Feb 2025 by KiM

Set amidst the picturesque countryside of East England, this charming farmhouse is an exciting, ongoing project we’re delighted to be undertaking with our wonderful clients. Based overseas, they sought us out to design and deliver a home rich with character and warmth, where each room flows seamlessly into the next, while honouring the property’s architectural heritage. Spanning three floors, this long, narrow property showcases elements from different historical periods, all brimming with unique features and character. Our clients collaborated with a local architectural firm to sensitively restore the farmhouse, transforming it into a 21st-century retreat that comfortably accommodates their young family and allows for entertaining when they’re in the UK. Our vision for this home is to create a classic feel without formality—lifting the heavy woodwork and original beams with vibrant colours and charming patterns that bring a sense of joy and warmth.
This home is overflowing with English vibes, whimsy and so many pretty colours and patterns! Perfect for a Suffolk farmhouse getaway with its beautiful architectural elements. Designed by Sean Symington.
