The brother’s house by Elías Rizo Arquitectos
By

A Shared Vision

Two brothers, a shared dream and intuitive architects are to thank for this unique home…well, actually two homes. The brothers shared an expansive parcel of land in Tapalpa near the Pacific coast in Mexico and engaged Elías Rizo Arquitectos to design and build for them two homes that would work in tandem yet have their own personality at...
Brentwood house by Commune
By

Californian Calm

Commune are known for their approachable calm interiors and this Brentwood beauty is no different. Brentwood is the plush neighbourhood to the west of Beverly Hills and this home certainly lives up to the lush lifestyle of its residents with soft tones reigning supreme throughout the house with only the occasional punch of strong colour and pattern. Typical of Commune’s work, there is a strong mix...

Lofty Ambitions

If you’re going to live in a New York loft this this is definitely the way to do it. Amazing location: yes. Incredible ceilings: yes. Roof terrace: yes YES! Turett Collaborative Architects were given the brief to explore how to use the huge volume of the space and in doing so have explored the interplay between the private...
Menorca house by María Lladó
By

Island Magic

To some people eclecticism might seem like a bad thing - an ugly hodge podge of things thrown together without reason. In the case of María Lladó however, eclecticism is perfect and this home on the Spanish island of Menorca is proof of that and given the history of how this project came to be it’s little wonder the interiors are so eclectic. This is Lladó’s own holiday home...
Ranch by Turnbull Griffin Haelsoop

Rancho Relaxo

Perhaps because of, or maybe in spite of, the fact that I grew up on the beach I have always been drawn to the countryside. Something about endless rolling hills and mountains makes me very happy. This white barn north of San Fransico by Turnbull Griffin Haelsoop also makes me very happy. It has large sofas for napping....

Best Things. Small Packages

Sometimes I like the grand, sometimes the humble. This week is a humble week. The thought of escaping to this tiny little cabin on a canal would be a dream. Design to perform the most basic necessities of a home, the cabin is clad in black timber on two sides and the roof, while at either end the wall are completely window giving the cabin...
Malibu house by Scott Mitchell Studio

Malibu Magic

This project is special. Special because of the location, special because of the scale, special because of the end result and special to me in particular because it was one of the first site visits I ever made when I started out in interior design. I was fortunate to do work experience for Scott Mitchell Studio and a...
London home by Michael S Smith

A London Family Home

There are interior designers and then there is Michael S. Smith. He is a true captain of the industry having served as the White House designer since 2008 and regularly appearing on Architectural Digest’s AD100 list. In this latest project, Smith turns his hand to a grand Kensington mansion deep in London.  The proportions of this house alone are...
Desert house by Wendell Burnette Architects

The Desert House

When I saw the images of this house I thought to myself this has to be either a museum, a luxe resort or a secret lair. All wrong. This is very much a house. I then spent a good amount of time trying to piece the house together to determine the flow and program of the space. I failed. In the end I stopped and...
TB house by Aguirre Architecture

The Easy Life in Brazil

The Brazilian’s are known for their stunning architecture. They are known for their strong aesthetic that seamlessly combines the indoors with the out. They are known for creating extremely liveable homes that speak volumes to our own Australian sensibilities. They are known, basically, for good house design. This house, by Aguirre Architecture, has a narrative that reads easily: high...
