It’s been forever since I blogged the work of New York architecture firm Work Architecture Company. I was completely smitten then and I still am. Dan Wood and Amale Andraos have seriously creative juices flowing through their veins, and the results are works of art. It doesn’t even matter what furniture you fill these spaces with – the genius architecture overshadows everything. 

I figured it was about time I revisit the work of architecture and design firm VW+BS (Voon Wong & Benson Saw). They now have offices in London, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur and continue to create spaces that inspire, whether casual or a bit on the glam side. Overall they stick to a modern aesthetic and their attention to detail is spot on.

I had to revisit the following kitchen – it FLOATS! COOL!!!

I love the New Zealand bach. The beach side cottage, the seaside shack, often painted black, pared back, perhaps even a little rough. Somewhere to escape, to interact with nature, to relax, to retreat. The Storm Cottage by architectural firm Fearon Hay with interiors by Penny Hay displays a robust exterior to the world but once inside it is warm, cocooning with a simple luxury. A stylish shelter in the wilds.

It’s raining here. Raining, raining, raining. In biblical quantities. What better time to plonk myself in front of the computer and real estate stalk? I’m in Bondi, Sydney. A contemporary home by architect Uri Turgeman and interior designer Shellee Gordoun. A series of rooms in open plan stretching either side of a cental garden atrium and leading out to the garden. Casual elegance with interest brought in through finishes and texture. Light, bright, white and… blue. My imagination is running riot. How would this space look with red or green or black or yellow? A good example of how a neutral base lends itself to painterly strokes of colour to change things up. Link here while it lasts.

Lombard & Jack is the Melbourne-based interior design firm of Kath Lombard and Jackie Johnston that was established in only 2011. They’ve got some amazing projects under their belt already – each one with a dash of drama, a dab of glam, and a dollop of relaxed modernism.
