A home built within an old granite quarry. I cannot think of anything more beautiful. Porto and Paris based architect François Leite created a modern and minimalist dwelling here in Porto’s Lapa neighbourhood that embraces wholeheartedly the surroundings. I could not love this more.

“Merging playful, textural, luxurious elements, Malvern Residence III is an uplifting family home that is cleverly terraced into its leafy Malvern landscape. Fostering a sense of togetherness, it embraces the principles of Wabi Sabi – a Japanese philosophy centred around the beauty and humility of natural patina – manifesting as a sophisticated, liveable home.”

Melbourne-based Studio Tate have created an elegant, inviting family home that harmonizes with its natural surroundings.

Clements is a transformed Californian bungalow in Drummoyne, Sydney featuring a two-storey refurbishment by Some Studio. The design turned a once disconnected interior into an expansive, tactile space that flows harmoniously. The interior reflects the local landscape and exudes quiet luxury through light, texture, and rich colours. Burnished oak and the original deep brown brick anchor the home’s design, while Ross Gardam feature lighting and Brodware brass tapware add refined details. Earthy materials like rich marbles and organic plaster balance solid forms. Major floor plan changes created open communal spaces with a central free-form island and skylights maximizing natural light for a vibrant, modern lifestyle.
