In the coastal town of Caldes d’Estrach, John Brown Projects designed Armonia, a serene retreat that captures the essence of Mediterranean living. Owned by a Catalan family now based in Australia, the beach house offers an escape from southern winters into long Spanish summers. Modern comforts are balanced with traditional character, creating an elegant, deeply personal home. Within the house time slows, inviting relaxation, connection and the enduring rhythm of coastal life rooted in heritage and memory.

Just because you live in a Colonial home doesn’t mean it has to be decorated in a traditional and stuffy way. And if you have Frances Merrill of Reath Design responsible for the interiors you know it’s going to include a cacophony of colour and pattern (in this a mix of pastels and rich colours, and lots of botanical prints), and a mix of vintage and contemporary furnishings. It’s the perfect foil for a fun, young family who wanted something cheerful to combat cold, grey days. Photos: Laure Joliet.



















It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to darg yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Saint Cloche Atelier, a gallery in Sydney’s Paddington by Sarah Johnson.

I spotted this location home on Shoot Factory and immediately fell in love with it’s quaintness and soothing, peaceful vibe. It’s a traditional Cotswold stone barn house situated at the end of a private lane in a peaceful Gloucestershire hamlet. Formerly the barn of a farm property it was changed into a residential dwelling in the 1960’s. And I could live there happily for the rest of my days.






























Boronkay Studio have transformed this Victorian villa in leafy Richmond into a layered family home that balances grandeur with intimacy. Guided by a philosophy of blending tradition and innovation, the studio reimagined the property to reflect both its architectural elegance and the family’s multicultural background. The interiors weave vintage Italian and French pieces with bespoke furniture and collected artworks, creating a deeply personal narrative. Bold colors, subtle textures, and expressive detailing converge to shape a soulful, timeless home.
