The transformation of this iconic Pettit and Sevitt home in Sydney by Studio Prineas honours its original architecture while introducing a new layer for family life. An added upper level and integrated landscaping blend seamlessly with the existing structure, softening transitions between old and new. Outdoor terraces connect the home to the garden while a circular pool nestles like a bushland billabong. Inside a playful open-tread stair replaces the spiral complementing the original timber beams. Nostalgic design touches including repurposed curtains preserve the home’s charm and history.

A designer’s West Village apartment

Posted on Mon, 6 Jan 2025 by KiM

Designer Ryan Lawson‘s West Village apartment is located above his favourite Italian restaurant. If that wasn’t awesome enough, you walk in the front door and are immediately surrounded by an endless supply of eye candy. His apartment is like walking into the coolest vintage shop or art gallery. I love every bit of it, particularly the floral sofa (from Hem covered in deadstock linen velvet by Glant). Photos: Stephen Kent Johnson. Styling: Colin King.
