Belgian designer Gert Voorjans brings his distinctive touch to the interiors of this Paxos retreat blending monastic simplicity with understated luxury. Inspired by the island’s natural palette each room features olive green, sage, and ochre tones. Materials like oat-coloured plaster, lime-washed linens and handcrafted bronze door handles create a tactile, serene ambience. Voorjans collaborated closely with the homeowners, designing spaces that dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. Every detail reflects his vision of a nature-focused Greek escape from the kitchen’s teak sink framed by lush greenery to the custom ceramics.

The transformation of this iconic Pettit and Sevitt home in Sydney by Studio Prineas honours its original architecture while introducing a new layer for family life. An added upper level and integrated landscaping blend seamlessly with the existing structure, softening transitions between old and new. Outdoor terraces connect the home to the garden while a circular pool nestles like a bushland billabong. Inside a playful open-tread stair replaces the spiral complementing the original timber beams. Nostalgic design touches including repurposed curtains preserve the home’s charm and history.
