Wisteria by Carter Williamson is a meticulous expression of simplicity and purity, an airy pavilion in Victorian ash. Inspired by traditional Japanese homes, it complements a restored Federation bungalow in Sydney’s inner west, embracing sunlight and a strong connection with the outdoors. Located in a heritage conservation area, this bright, spacious addition respects the home’s history while adding contemporary layers. It features a double-height void with a fireplace, rhythmic brickwork, polished concrete, timber framing, and steel and marble accents. The design harmonizes with the existing garden, enhancing family gatherings and daily rituals.

Since March 2020, Electric Bowery‘s Cayley Lambur and her family have resided in Big Sur, CA, revitalizing a Mickey Muennig property. The estate includes upgraded structures and gardens for family and friends, providing a quintessential coastal retreat. The main house, restored to enhance outdoor connections, features local materials and informal furnishings. Renovations included a custom kitchen and a warm, earthy palette. A restored trailer serves as additional guest quarters and a remote office, complementing the home’s cohesive design.

Welcome to a reinvented space that exudes timelessness. It was in October 2022 that our client approached us with a very special and touching mandate: to transform the ground floor of her childhood home so that she could in turn start a family there with her partner and a baby on the way. At the heart of the living area is the inviting kitchen where warm tones and sober materiality create an enveloping atmosphere. It is the central island in solid wood made by a local craftsman that gives the room its timeless character. In the master bathroom, our team was able to create a real home spa in what was previously a bedroom.
Such a beautiful environment CMPG Design Construction has created in this meaningful home in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Québec. Details of note: the exposed beams, the exposed wood window in the kitchen, the little marble ledge on top of the backsplash, the beadboard and wood shelving detail in the open cabinet, that dreamy custom island, the stone supporting wall, the bathroom tile and it’s placement… Photos: Interior Photography CO.

A modern kitchen comes to life in an ancestral home, blending the past with the present. Original elements are salvaged, cabinets undergo a colorful modernization. Glass illuminates the space, merging historic charm with a contemporary aesthetic in this kitchen imbued with history and modernity.
I absolutely adore this kitchen designed by Montréal-based FJORD intérieurs. The reeded glass cabinet, glass shelves and white marble keeps it light while the dark stained wood adds so much depth, warmth and character. This one is going straight into my inspiration folder.

If you don’t need a pool house for typical needs like a place for people to change into swimsuits or to store pool equipment, why not convert it into the coolest little British pub? Between the pool and the “pub” I’m pretty sure you’re going to have a hard time convincing friends they can’t stay all night. Another wonderful project by Blanc Marine.
