Whispering Dunes, a sanctuary in bustling inner Melbourne, beautifully blends heritage roots with contemporary charm. Homeroom Studio‘s design respects the home’s original character through thoughtful spatial planning and material selection. A natural, earthy palette, anchored by stone with undulating veins, evokes sandy dunes and fosters tranquillity. Rich, jewell-toned furniture contrasts harmoniously with the earthy tones, enhancing the heritage features. The result is an elegant, calming atmosphere with layered, textural furniture exuding warmth and comfort.

A log home with stone floors (where the logs aren’t stained some ghastly orange/yellow tone) is honestly one of the most beautiful and comforting style of homes. This absolute delight located in St-Alexis, Québec was designed by Blanc Marine Intérieurs, and while in my youth I might have thought the coolest thing in the world would be to live in a huge industrial loft, in my old age it’s a well-done log cabin. They are easy to get wrong but this one is oh so right. Photos: Photographie Intérieure.

“Constructed in limestone rubble of a simple two-cell layout, the structure was carefully reworked by the owners Charlotte Boyens and Adam Scott, founders of the architecture practice, FreeState. With staggering sensitivity to the style and use of historic features, the house maintains references to original orientations around the font, altar, and windows.”

Another church conversion, another special home. This Grade II-listed church (first mentioned in 1291) on the mid Pembrokeshire coastline has been carefully converted into a sympathetic seaside house. For sale via Inigo.
