Project Alton House. Earthy, moody, and inviting—our concept for this home was inspired by the property’s private forest setting, with an aesthetic that balances the simplicity of natural materials with English-inspired sophistication. In both the exterior and interior, we opted for rich neutrals and enduring style—with plenty of opportunities inside for our client, a ceramicist, to showcase her work.
This house is beautiful. So classic and timeless with colours and finishes that are not trendy and could last for years. By TIffany Leigh Design; Photos: Patrick Biller; Styling: Me&Mo; Build: Kingsgate Construction

Bracken at McKenzies Beach, Malua Bay, by landscape architects Secret Gardens reimagines a fire-ravaged landscape into a striking new garden. Set on a narrow headland with views through Spotted Gums, the design enhances the site’s natural drama. Stone walls, Corten steel, and gravel paths weave through the space, leading to key viewpoints. Subtle yet extensive planting softens the architecture, restoring shelter and seamlessly connecting the home to its breathtaking surroundings.

An ancient finca reimagined, Can San Mateo blends old-world charm with contemporary elegance. Set in one of Ibiza’s north-west valleys, this five-bedroom villa has been transformed by architect Pascal Cheikh Djavadi with interior design by Dymfy Erens. The original farmhouse and modern extension merge historical details with cutting-edge technology. A marble-clad kitchen, bold dining space and gallery-like lounge create a striking aesthetic. Outdoors, a sleek 17-meter pool contrasts with rugged stone walls and lush gardens. Each tranquil bedroom features organic tones and bespoke finishes, with a standout principal suite bathed in natural light. A secluded sanctuary of design and serenity for sale via Domus Nova.

“We are going to buy a twelfth century monastery” declared the subject line of an email from a longtime client. This one just so happened to be located next door to a multi-year project that we have worked on for nearly a decade in the south of France. Though the monks had long since left the premises, the property retained much of its original character. Our mission was to unwind some of the modern alterations that had occured when a kitchen and baths were added– and insert something simpler and less disruptive. Ultimately putting the building back into service with a purpose closer to the original as a creative refuge and housing for artists in conjunction with Saint Joseph’s Arts Foundation.
Ken Fulk taking a monastic approach quite literally with this project and I could not love these gothic, old world vibes more.

Larissa Leigh Interiors takes a visionary approach, balancing functionality, harmony and storytelling in the spaces they design. Overlooking Shark Beach in Sydney, The Beach Club is a coastal venue that embraces its natural surroundings. Tasked with its transformation, the studio preserved its raw beauty, concrete, sandstone and timber trusses while layering refined, soulful elements. With its seamless indoor-outdoor flow, al fresco deck, and private bar, the space remains a warm and inviting coastal escape.
