Canning Street, a 110-square-metre home by Melbourne-based Fooman Architects, highlights the beauty of small-footprint living with bright, calming spaces for family life and entertaining. Northern light pours through a tall glass facade, while high-level reeded glass and an enclosed garden illuminate the eastern side. A curved ceiling shapes distinct areas, and timber columns along the eastern wall frame key functions, bringing rhythm, clarity, and organization to the home’s thoughtful design.

We will occasionally share a home gym on the blog but usually just a photo amongst the house photos. Something utilitarian but never as inspiring as this private gym in Milan. From the wood-lined office and gym space to the stylish bathroom this gym is just a little bit more than rubber mats and sweat. By Studio Natalia Bianchi.

“Together with our talented clients James Chinlund and Clare Crespo we transformed a 1950s era home in the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles into a dynamic and warm living space suited to the way the family spends time together and entertains. By capturing an under-utilized second story balcony we created built-in seating with breathtaking views of the hills and a connection between the kitchen and living spaces.”

Inviting spaces with a certain glow from wood and wide windows. A touch of Japanese and respect for the house’s mid-century roots. This home renovation is by Los Angeles-based Lovers Unite, an architecture and design studio creating one-of-a-kind homes.

 This five-bedroom 1960s ranch-style house in Miami underwent a huge transformation, turning it into a wonderfully bright and whimsical home with the help of many Josef Frank fabrics and colours pulled from them. Such vibrant and fun energy exuded from every room. Designed by Bunsa Studio. Photos: Nicole Franzen.

A lovely Mediterranean home located in the flourishing community of Manhattan Beach, California received a significant renovation by designer, Mandy Graham. The original living quarters were reappointed entirely, creating a renewed dynamic that radiates light and space. The existing windows and central fireplace of the former living room allowed the creation of a new perspective. Graham chose this location for the chef’s kitchen and adjoining dining area. The designer prescribed the same attention to detail within the construction of the bespoke cabinetry as she does throughout the home. The execution of details brought together with plaster, travertine and rustic wood are a testament to the designer’s modern sensibility. Graham embraces traditional architecture and affirms such framework with the modification of thick walls, arches and reclaimed beams. Many of the home’s furnishings are a nod to the designer’s furniture collections which stand in contrast to that of the traditional art and antiques.
Another example of the creativity and bespoke level of detail that continues to draw me to this incredibly talented designer. Photos: Jasper Carlberg.
