This modernist home by Josh Greene Design plays with 70s nostalgia and desert colours of ochre, pinks and browns. Custom furniture mixes with mid-century classics while monumental stone anchors it all. An oasis in an inhospitable terrain all about functionality, warmth, refinement, and comfort.

“Our design approach was a delicate dance between preserving the historical essence of the Edwardian house and infusing it with a breath of fresh air and modern elegance.”

This contemporary home in the Georgian style exudes a timeless international flair, marrying what the designer calls “Classic Modernist” principles with transitional design. Crafted with meticulous care, this downsizer (yes I did say downsizer) is all about enduring elegance and top-notch craftsmanship. Emphasizing durability and easy maintenance the interior showcases sleek joinery, quartzite stones and a blend of natural elements—timber, stone, metal, and Murano glass—infusing warmth and sophistication. Architectural elements, from stone detailing to Georgian-inspired cornices, were thoughtfully integrated to honour the home’s style. Grand Georgian in Sydney’s Double Bay by Carla Barton.

A cosy, Grade II Listed, country bolthole – full of charm, warmth and character. A carefully curated blend of old and new was used to create the feeling of a home which has organically evolved over time in a magical, bucolic setting.

“This 100-acre working farm is tucked against the Luberon mountains in southern France. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, Ken Fulk repaired the 17th-century farmhouse and revitalized the grand potager, bringing the property up to date as a peaceful getaway for long family vacations. 

Each room in the main house, which includes the former bergerie (now a dining room), a wine cave, two kitchens, living rooms, a library and eight bedrooms, has been furnished with a transportive mix of antique and modern pieces. Additional guest quarters were added in the former barn, along with a caretaker’s studio, a modern gym and a fully outfitted hammam. Lavender-hued tennis courts, a folly-like greenhouse, and a well-equipped outdoor kitchen complete the estate.”
