Aurora Residence in South Yarra, designed by We Are Triibe with Rob Mills Architecture, sits high above the Royal Botanical Gardens, its name evoking ethereal light and a sense of renewal. Expansive proportions, statement skylights and a tranquil palette create a refined gallery-like home. The living area flows seamlessly between moments of gathering and quiet reflection. A sculptural timber desk bridges living and work spaces, while deeper tones of forest green and blackened timber define an intimate kitchen and fireside zone. The result is a sophisticated sanctuary that harmonises daily rhythms with warmth, connection and a sense of calm.

Villa Madagascar, once a Paris expo pavilion and relocated to Normandy has been transformed by architect-designer Baptiste Legué into a serene holiday home. His atelier guides each project from the initial idea to final delivery, focusing on functional layouts, seamless flow and strong connections to the building’s surroundings. The result is a raw yet warm aesthetic, using natural materials to create timeless, welcoming spaces.

In this 217 m² Parisian apartment, Heju reinterpreted Haussmannian tradition with bold forms and organic design. A sweeping built-in unit runs through the space, shifting from entry storage to bookshelf, kitchen cabinetry, and even hiding the master suite entrance. Nordic elements appear in the Douglas pine and Calacatta Viola marble kitchen, while soft arches and curved volumes shape the guest room and bathrooms. The main suite offers a calming palette, sculptural detailing and a sense of playful elegance.

I had to share another project by CJH Studio because as much as I love some colour and pattern and stuff, this is absolutely beautiful with the exact opposite vibes. This one is a bit less modern than the last project I shared, with a bit more warmth and some added old world charm. I will admit that for more years that I can even remember, I have wanted a big squishy sofa draped in an oversized linen sheet. My dream! Photos: Jimmy Logan.

This small holiday home, and retreat from busy city life, is all about a sense of peacefulness, very little simulation and allows for complete relaxation. I don’t know that I could live like this as a main residence but for weekends this is perfection. Minimal, soft, an emphasis on materiality, thoughtful and deliberate. Designed by CJH Studio.
