Margaux Beja

I have fallen in love with this 18th century apartment in the heart of Le Marais, Paris. Designed by interior architect Margaux Beja, it is a stunning blend of old-world and modern. With a Scandinavian feel, this space is cozy and bright. A beautiful walnut wall hides spaces like the laundry and bathroom, and a glass wall separates the bedroom from main living space allowing light to flow through. It is pretty much perfection.

Elwood House is a single storey, bayside residence that has been renovated to better suit its location and the needs of a growing family. Voids and skylights create sun-lit internal spaces that are balanced by natural timber, white and grey surfaces. Large living spaces open to sunny courtyard gardens with outdoor entertaining areas and a pool, giving this home a relaxed and inviting feel.

Love it! The light, the clean, modern lines, those steel framed windows and doors, the seamless transition from inside to out and once you’re outside… just as impressive. Elwood House by Melbourne-based Neil Architecture.

How clever… and stylish! Sliding timber screens of solid and perforated slats open up spaces or conceal the kitchen from the living area in this small apartment by Sydney-based Koichi Takada Architects.

Not only is this a loft which already makes it a winner, but HELLO statement kitchen! From the gorgeous wall of wood cabinets, the funky exhaust fan, steel and concrete island, chalkboard backsplash (because matte black always)…and the kicker – A PANTRY!!! Dear gawd how I would love a pantry. Another winner from design firm Studio DB.
