Portsea Beach House by Melbourne-based AM Architecture is a coastal retreat designed for a family of five on an expansive site with stunning views of Portsea and the bay. A concrete pavilion houses the main living areas and master suite, opening on both sides to blend seamlessly with the landscape. A timber-clad L-shaped wing contains bedrooms and amenities, creating distinct zones for parents and children. The material palette of washed-out timbers and natural hues enhances the home’s connection to its surroundings. Native grasses, a swimming pool and a tennis court integrate the design with nature, offering a tranquil escape from urban life.

This classic, timeless home sits right on the water of Lido Isle. Sophistication at its finest with hints of nautical moments and texture sprinkled throughout.
I love how warm and inviting this home is. Lots of wood used on the main floor help with that warmth, though I am not really a fan of what is going on above the dining table. I do however love the sort of English pub vibes of the kitchen – very unique. Designed by Morrison Interiors.

A serene Scandinavian retreat in Sweden by Studio Own Architecture blends wood, black and concrete for a refined yet understated elegance. Expansive windows frame the natural landscape, filling the minimalist interior with light. Clean lines and open spaces create a sense of calm, while concrete adds an industrial touch and black accents provide contrast. Outdoor decks seamlessly connect to nature, offering a tranquil escape for relaxation and modern living in the wilderness.

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.
