23.01.2022 Perth-based Milieu Creative has crossed the country to embrace the heart of Sydney living in their Bay House, on Sydney’s idealistic Gordons Bay cove. First designed in 2005 by architect Craig Rosevear, the geometric home needed a contemporary update to match the new clients’ art aesthetic while cultivating a welcoming retreat for the young family. To ensure every return home welcomed the new design, the first update was the external aspect of Bay House. Milieu Creative repla...ced the boxed street façade with floor-to-ceiling glass panels and discrete timber screens. These adjustment allow the family house to blend smoothly within its surroundings, complete with a lush rooftop garden which elevates the architectural detail.

22.01.2022 Lastly, are these stunning teardrop pendant lights, suspended over the stairwell of the Toorak Residence. The etched glass teardrops give a frosted, cool sense to the room, in drama with the bold black balustrades creating quite an interest point and statement feature. The Lariat 3; etched glass teardrops hang from woven brass mesh, and can be interwoven with solid brass knot-clamps reminiscent of forms found in jewellery. Taut lines are weighted by elongated orbs, addressi...ng an intersection of geometry and gravity. Another stunning light feature from Apparatus.

22.01.2022 The Bluff House demonstrates how a dedication to craftsmanship can come to shape the overall design. Rob Kennon Architects worked with builder Ross Stapleton who meticulously built the joinery, laid stone and created fine details by hand such as the timber hooks. Rob Kennon Architects attribute the project’s success to Ross Stapleton’s dedication to quality. Stained black, spotted gum clads the exterior of the home, balancing the full-height glazing, just as American oak lin...es the interior, offering a natural warmth. The Bluff House may be exposed to the elements, but Rob Kennon Architects have ensured its functional and thermal characteristics can’t be faulted. The firm’s dedication to the form’s response to its environment has established a long-lasting beachside home that feels warm and private yet open all at once.

17.01.2022 Perched above the glimmering ocean, Milieu Creative director, Davina Bester wanted to capture these unparalleled views in the Bay House while inviting warmth and sophistication into the design. The designers adopted a tonal palette to provide contrast against the vast blues but ensured the ocean-side home provokes a visceral reaction, responding to ample indoor/outdoor living. When considering the styling, Studio CD designer, Claire Delmar, knew she couldn’t compete with the ...exterior views. Instead, she used contemporary pieces with pops of colour to highlight tones from the expansive scenery.

11.01.2022 The Bluff House by Rob Kennon Architects sets a precedence for how an architectural beach house settles among its surrounds. Idilicly positioned on the bluff on the outskirts of Flinders, Victoria, this dual-owned beach house co-exists with its environment, while making a clear distinction from the shrubbed landscape. Where the owners can sit back and watch the waves roll in, the Bluff House offers protection and seclusion and at the same time, captures a sense of fluidity we... all yearn for in a home by the sea.

10.01.2022 Landscaping by Secret Gardens ensures harmony between the stacked series of spacious living areas and the external zones of the house; from the infinity pool looking out over Gordons Bay to the tranquil courtyard that encourages reflection. Each level has it’s own balcony connecting the interiors to the ocean vistas, providing seamless indoor/outdoor living spaces. This bayside by Milieu Creative is faithful to its environment; from the sleek, minimal entrance to the layered ...terraced landscape, complete with spots to pause and enjoy the view right down to the water’s edge.

09.01.2022 Co-founder of Arent & Pyke, Sarah-Jane said the project was full of surprises. This rings true metaphorically and literally in each of the inviting yet striking spaces within the Magnolia House. By working closely with the client on every step from the built elements, colours, furnishings, lighting to the artwork they’ve created a sophisticated home with the right kind of flow for family living. Here’s to plenty of happy memories made in a home entirely tailored to its re...sidents. These stunning bar stools are the Moller NO 77 Stool by designer J.L. Moller at Moller. Materials of Soaped Oak, Walnut or Black Oak Stained or Natural Paperord make up these impressive desinger stools. These can be purchased at Great Dane Furniture.

08.01.2022 To enter the home, you are led down a concrete wall that gives no indication of the grand view before you. Crossing the garden and stepping onto a platform, you are at once privy to the ocean outlook among a crop of Sheoak trunks. The home is relatively large, but in this setting, it doesn’t dominate with semi-submerged bedrooms disguised below. Rob Kennon Architects borrowed from the landscape to increase the perceived size, focusing on connection and separation to keep to a... small footprint. The adaptability of these outdoor wings ensures usage in different weather conditions. It’s here the clients love to watch the weather change while feeling entirely shielded from it.

08.01.2022 I have a current obsession with feature lights, and I've found the perfect home that showcases some of the most amazing lighting statements pieces. I think you will be surprised at the materials use in this one. The Toorak home by Hecker Guthrie is a nod to its handsomely adorned past. Hecker pays a respectful reverence to the home's original Art Deco features through a refinded lens. This stunning feature light sitting comfortably with the Art Deco feel; The Horsehair Sconce... exhibits a robust study of material that evokes the grace and strength of its equine contributor. Wefts of horsehair are combined with brass and etched glass, implying a structural, weight bearing function for the coarse hair.

08.01.2022 This next piece screams opulence and luxury, the feel you want to feel in a Toorak property. The Cloud 37 Chandelier; a cloud-like form gives this room a richness and a feeling of freedom. The glass orbs are frosted by hand to create an irregular texture reminiscent of 19th-century frosting techniques. This style is perfect to portray the original style of this home. A mix of deep shimmery brass and the soft form of the frosted blown glass is a match made, perfect for this pr...operty.

06.01.2022 Emerging design practice MXM Design Studio bring luxurious accents to this modern, light-filled home in Canberra. Interior design duo Madeleine Karrys and Marie Daaboul are the names behind up and coming design firm MXM. They’re also behind this contemporary new build in north Canberra, which immediately evokes a sense of charm and sophistication. With form and function front of mind, they’ve delivered a refined, minimalist aesthetic ‘without being simple’. The home has a gen...erous open-plan layout brimming with natural light. Floor-to-ceiling double-glazed windows frame the outskirts of the kitchen, living and dining space; this light diffused with gentle grey sheers. In the kitchen, a striking pairing of rich timber veneer and grey marble is contrasted with modest gold detailing; also visible in the custom, in-built tv unit. Black Hee Bar Stools from HAY allow for additional seating when required and the Nerd dining chairs from Muuto.

05.01.2022 Lighting was carefully selected to be a standout feature in most spaces of the home. I'm definitely drawn to the enduring Louis Poulsen pendants in the living space and the Apparatus pendant that crowns the kitchen bench. The sophisticated living and dining space is a dedicated adult zone but situated close to the children’s rooms. We can see why this is a devoted grown-up area with its midnight blue velvet Gubi Beetle Chairs, Walter Knoll Table, Cassina ‘Rio’ Coffee Table, M...inotti Seymour Sofa in petrol blue and coral ‘Bibendum’ Armchairs. Cleverly so, the palette of the artworks replicate these colours, while the new fireplace and custom joinery further add to the grand atmosphere.

05.01.2022 Magnolia House by Arent & Pyke. A young family home on Sydney's lower North Shore received the full experience by Arent & Pyke, paving the way for a warm, welcoming, and gracious family home. First impressions count, and a top-to-toe transformation of the Magnolia House was in definite need. Now a home drenched in colour, texture, and natural light, the Arent & Pyke spirit has taken this home far from its former state and how family living is typically envisioned. One of my ...favourite features in this dining room are these statement Beetle Dining Chairs by Gubi. Bold black powder-coated legs standing tall for the luscious deep velvet blue in the seating space is just the perfect combination for this room, sits boldly with harmony against the stunning soft eucalyptus wall paint. The touches of black in the frame of the artwork and window, as-well-as the black side console are fantastic and give such a sense of depth and space.
