This custom-built home is not only the personal residence of Allison Willson and her family but represents everything design means to her. Nestled on 50 acres of rolling hills just outside of Creemore, Ontario, the farm is a testament to Allison’s appreciation of craftsmanship. It has a long and linear layout, paired with rustic selections and a palette that defies traditional hues, resulting in a unique blend of contemporary and old-world charm. From the rubble-finished limestone to the carefully chosen furnishings, the house unites the beauty of natural materials, timeworn antiques, and modern furnishings while remaining warm, elevated, and, most importantly, liveable.
What an absolutely stunning home!!! I don’t have too many Canadian designers I admire but Allison is now one I will be keeping an eye on. So many elements in her home that I’m sure would be inspirational for my next home. Photos: Patrick Biller.

Vriskaig House sits above Portree Loch (in the Hebrides – an archipelago off the west coast of the Scottish mainland), sited in a wooded hillside, bedded into its wild context with views across the water. Two volumes intersect; an arching, blackened timber clad form follows the contours of the land, from which a rubbled local stone front wall descends dramatically, concealing further accommodation behind. This blackened timber cladding and natural stone walling reduces the visual impact of the dwelling from distant views.The use of natural materials runs into the interior, a free flowing, generous but understated space. The rough and rugged environment outside is striking, viewed through large expanses of slimline glazing. Clayplaster walls, natural resin floors and ash joinery work together in a carefully curated palette.
This house is very much modern and minimal which offers no distractions to the beauty outside its walls. I could sit on that sofa and watch the view for hours. Designed by Bath-based architecture and interior design firm Room. Photos: Toby Mitchell.

This 1300 sqm Mediterranean-inspired sanctuary blends richness with nature in a stunning barefoot luxury home. Textural elements like plaster walls and the lush greenery surrounding the home create a harmonious atmosphere, enhanced by natural materials and gentle sea breezes. Volumetric bodies and angled lines add interest with a central courtyard mediating between the home’s structure and its surroundings.

The Hartley House Project by Alison Lewis Interiors is the designer’s family home in Melbourne’s Inner North. The scope of work involved restoring period features of a Californian Bungalow while adding a modern rear extension. Once dark and monochromatic, the home now boasts light-filled spaces with warm white, wood grain, and natural stone. Soft green, burgundy, and terrazzo accents bring interest, while greenery adds movement to the revitalized bungalow.
