A quaint addition to the iconic Spray Farm Estate (Victoria’s Bellarine Peninsula), The Art Studio purposefully and eloquently invites artistic inspiration from the first step inside. Architecturally referencing details of the original homestead, our interior choices were sympathetic to the surrounding landscape, minimalist in design, abundant in high quality craftsmanship and technically executed for practicality.
I may not be an artist per se but WHOA would working at my current government day job virtually and working on this blog from a space like this would be a dream come true. And I thought my greenhouse was a decent outdoor space to work from…

Singer-songwriter Lauv entrusted Studio Keeta, led by Kristina Khersonsky, with renovating his home to suit his creative lifestyle and love of art. The brief sought a relaxed space merging indoors with nature, enriched by vibrant colours and textures. The uniquely laid-out home with separate spaces connected externally allowed for individualized designs. Architectural highlights include an unconventional stairwell and panoramic views framed by glass walls.

Contemporary architecture blends with mid-century aesthetics in the Hollywood Hills home of Osklo co-founders Arya and Michael Martin. Japanese aesthetics inform the design with a materials palette of herringbone oak floors, creamy limestone and knotty wood panelling, emulating the Japanese Hinoki wood’s look on the exterior. A perfect blend of Eastern design and Western ambience.

This château is about as quintessentially “château” as it gets. I love all the details in here. The room that currently houses the kitchen would be a fun challenge to renovate. Clearly the fridge needs a new home. For sale for €1,360,000 via Le Nail.

Tapawingo Lake Camp is a lakeside family retreat in Wisconsin that is so picturesque and rustic and cozy that I could totally see myself spending the rest of my days in a home like this (but maybe wayyyyy smaller). It’s the best of cabin/camp/cottage living. Complete with numerous outbuildings for various activities, log cabin architecture, massive stone fireplaces and lake views that can’t be beat. This post features the exterior, family cabin, and east and west house. The rest to come in the following post.
