Nestled between meadow and woodland in Amagansett, this home for a young family by Bates Masi + Architects is composed of interconnected gabled volumes, each dedicated to a distinct function, public, private or guest spaces. The design breaks down the overall form into smaller, human-scaled elements that reference traditional barn structures while offering a modern living experience. Steep roof pitches create generous second-floor spaces while strategic cuts bring in natural light. Materials such as oak, clay tile and plaster add warmth and texture and oversized fireplaces anchor the living areas.

Perched above the Yarra, this 1930s/40s South Yarra home has been transformed by Melbourne-based Studio Doherty into a layered and welcoming family retreat. With minimal structural changes, the design introduces warmth through natural oak floors, soft green accents and richly textured finishes. Each space balances character and comfort, with a refined palette and thoughtful detailing. The result is a home that feels cohesive, soulful and deeply connected to both its past and its environment.

There’s something about a mostly black and white interior, particularly when done with an old world feel, that makes my heart skip a beat. This Tudor home in Atlanta was revitalized by D Stanley Dixon Architect by keeping the authenticity and channelling Cotswolds vibes, whilst interior designer Amy Morris added shades of ebony and creamy whites, rich dark wood, touches of black and unlacquered brass. It’s bright yet has quite a mood and a sense of drama. I could not love this more. Photos: Simon Upton.

“My style reflects a classic sensibility that is both comfortable and elegant, always sympathetic to the building and its period. I blend my passion for colour, textiles, antiques, and art to create spaces that truly reflect my clients’ personalities and lifestyles.” – Anna Haines

The Stables was a simple space with minimal lighting and no plumbing. Seeking a peaceful, unfitted aesthetic, Anna installed a kitchen along the back wall, reusing the house’s old Aga. A sleek staircase replaced the ladder, original stable pavers were restored and an upstairs bathroom was added for functionality.

Lea Cojot of Cojot Designs embarked on a gut renovation of this Flatiron loft and what she has created is a wonderful open-plan design that respects the industrial heritage of the space yet is sumptuous and downright sexy. Hello standout stone kitchen! Hello masterful mix of vintage and contemporary furniture!
