“The centrepiece of this kitchen remodel is a custom designed, floating kitchen island. The eye is drawn to its natural ambiance, achieved through a perfect alignment of warm oak wood and Arabescato Vagli marble.”

“The client’s brief was primarily to transplant their pre-existing family home into their contemporary new home in an authentic and integrated way. Stylistically, the clients wanted to the interior to be designed around their key pieces of furniture and collectibles, cultivated over many years. The design skilfully re-frames these sentimental items with care and attention.”
Tonal variations, layers of texture, wabi-sabi and soft filtered light. The result is an urban oasis. Terra House by Melbourne-based interior designer Brahman Perera.








The perfect blend of primitive and modern with a warm minimalism and a touch of wabi-sabi. It’s about clean lines, variations on a neutral colour palette and subtle changes in texture. Earthy but chic. T Studio by Taipei-based Ecru Studio.















This stunning 11 bedroom, 9 bathroom French castle was built in the the middle of the 19th century and is located about a 20 minute drive from Bordeaux. This castle has been completely renovated with quality materials by an architect specializing in the restoration of historic buildings and I can’t help but laugh at alot of the interior. Trendy much? It has a lot going for it regardless – a 5-hectare park, 19th century wind turbine, heated outdoor swimming pool with pool house, a “sound and light” installation that illuminates the chateau in the evening while music is played from loudspeakers hidden throughout the chateau grounds (OMGGGGG).
