A simple modern family home with mid century riffs. Mono-pitch roof, walls of glass, colour blocks and sunken lounge. It’s about catching the sun and taking in the views. Sleeping zones at either end of the 4m wide building are connected by living areas that open to a sunny patio. Easterbrook House in Titirangi, Auckland by Dorrington Atcheson Architects.

A modern two storey extension with polished concrete, plywood panels, open plan and a great indoor/outdoor connection. Yes please. I particularly like the ample custom storage. Stylish contemporary family living and sustainable design by Melbourne based Archiblox

The biggest luxury in a kitchen? No not marble benches. No not top of the line European appliances. Storage and lots of it. A place for everything and everything in its place. That’s why I love all the nooks and crannies in this kitchen refurb by Hearth.

You are definitely no wallflower. You are just a bit loud and proud. Always a happy face on display it’s what’s hidden within that has me wondering. What are you hiding? I bet you’re warm and embracing, modern but old fashioned in your hospitality. I know you used to be a shop house but you’ve had a bit of work done recently. Please let me in. I need to get to know you more. Hello House by Melbourne based OOF! Architecture.

I love this Eagle Rock, California house Bestor Architecture. Stylish but casual, family friendly and just right for everyday living. And who could say no to a half pipe in the backyard?
