Whitewash – Florida

Located in Alys Beach, Florida, the architect describes the house as more “like a resort in Santorini than the getaway spot that it is.” For me however, I see influences from Bermuda, to Morocco and pretty much everywhere in between and what is more, I love it. Jeffrey Dungan was charged with creating this holiday home on an...

One Small Step

The idea of designing my own home is equal parts exciting and terrifying. While it is easy enough to make decisions for someone else’s home, for my own home the process is panic inducing so I can completely sympathise with the architect-owners of this home in Herzliya, Israel. The duo behind Jacobs-Yaniv Architects spent six years...

Artful Architecture

“Bringing art into the architecture” was the driving force behind this home renovation completed by Madeleine Blanchfield Architects. The house, which is nominated in the Australian Interior Design Awards, is located in the Sydney ocean-side suburb of Clovelly and is the definition of relaxed beach vibes. As the architect puts it “the notion was to create...

Modernist Masterpiece

With Mies van der Rohe, Luis Barragaìn and Tadao Ando forming the bedrock of inspiration, how could these stables (yes, stables!) be anything other than incredible. Located near Buenos Aires, the stables are home to forty-four horses and was the brainchild of owner and polo legend Nacho Figueras and architect Juan Ignacio Ramos. Conceived as a building...

Masculine Style

“Bold and elegantly masculine” is how Flack Studio describe this project, located in the leafy Melbourne suburb of Armadale, and for me it is also plain sexy. It is the richness of materials and finishes – dark timbers, bronze, and marble – that gives this home a confident personality, and combined with the crisp white architecture of...

Santa Monica Sanctuary

In designing a new home in Santa Monica for photographer Tatiana Botton, architectural designer Charles Ward and interior designer Leanne Ford worked to create a space that could be as much about entertaining as it was a sanctuary, yet also a space that provided the perfect backdrop to hang Botton’s work. Starting with the architecture, Ward placed emphasis...

Pattern Repeat

Acting almost as a signature of their work, this home in Tel Aviv by Pitsou Kedem, typifies the contemporary, bold and inviting design the firm is known for. As with many of their projects, large airy volumes, concrete and a considered use of light define the home. However it is the use and repetition of metal screens...

French Fairy Tale

This 19th century house, nestled in a leafy suburb of Paris, looks like it has come straight from the pages of a story book. The shingled roof, timber beam exterior and chimneys all add to the romantic character of the home and through a careful renovation, the team at 05 AM Arqitectura have ensured that the interiors...

London Luxury

When starting a project, the best an interior designer can ask for in any project is well proportioned rooms and good architectural details. This is exactly what was presented to Roselind Wilson Design when being asked to design the interiors of this Belsize Park home in North West London. The firm describes the client as having international...
