Set on five acres of scenic coastal land, Harvest House designed by ELC Architecture and Interior offers panoramic views of the ocean and surrounding bushland. Its sustainable design reflects a deep commitment to environmental stewardship. It incorporates recycled bricks from the demolished original house and reclaimed timbers from across Australia used for posts and beams, their natural beauty enhanced by exposed finishes.

The house features 90,000-liter rainwater storage in underground tanks and solar panels with battery storage, ensuring eco-friendly utilities. Its interior reflects the owners’ multicultural heritage and global travels, with curated finishes like handcrafted tiles and vibrant textiles.

The design centres around a turreted third-level viewing room, offering dual ocean vistas. The second-floor living and kitchen spaces provide unobstructed treetop views, while the ground floor extends into guest, communal, and private zones. Four sheltered courtyards and a wraparound deck with greenery-filled planters integrate the home seamlessly into its natural environment, balancing functionality and elegance.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish and there’s nowhere more stylish than a design studio. This one is the studio of Murudé in London.

The redesign of this 5,000-square-foot Victorian townhouse in West London by Murudé focused on creating a practical yet stylish family home. The clients were looking for a child-friendly space that also included sophisticated areas for entertaining. Boasting impressive ceiling heights, tall sash windows and ornate cornice details, the home offered an excellent foundation. Spanning five levels, it features grand entertaining rooms, a gym and bedrooms. A carefully curated colour palette and understated decor ensure a luxurious yet warm and welcoming atmosphere.
