I’m in a spin, a spiral spin. I love the simplicity and elegance of this Melbourne-based Pleysier Perkins renovation. The extension to a Victorian era house is punctuated by a spiral staircase that rises through a double height void connecting the timber box above (bedrooms) to the glazed kitchen living areas. Perfection.

I love the way natural light plays across a room. What a beautiful space to be in as the sun starts to set. So warm. So golden. Don’t get me wrong. I love this room (and house) by Domenic Alvaro in any light but there is just something special about the first too photos.

Another great renovation from Nadine Nakache Design. The original semi-detached home has been reconfigured and enlarged at the rear. The contemporary addition sees clever storage solutions and staircase playing a connecting role between living, kitchen and dining areas. Modern, simple, clean lined. Functional and fabulous.

Raw concrete and honed basalt. A monochrome palette warmed with burnt orange highlights. A nod to Palladian villas perched by the sea. Loggia lounging and beachside modern. A marriage between swimwear and sophistication. Sorrento House on the Mornington Peninsula by Melbourne-based Rob Mills Architects.

The perfect family nest by Nest Architects. Let me clarify. Perfect is for the modern extension to this older home. Don’t really care if the family is perfect or not 😉
