the rise and rise of Adam Cornish

For someone so young Adam Cornish is soon becoming one of Australia's most discussed and awarded product designers collaborating with suppliers and exhibiting across the global design scene. I caught up with Adam at Sydney's Design Ex exhibiting his interlocking hanging pots which I just adore.

What I love about his work is the level of complicated simplicity, each piece is a work of art, it looks simple but you know its not.

studio 4

Ridge Road Residence reflects it's environment perfectly, creating viewing platforms to take in the natural beauty of the plot. Melbourne based "Studio Four" have created a residential home that despite its black skin and cubist design it allows the coastal landscape take center stage. I just love everything about this stunning piece of architecture, from the framed windows rather than a massive pane of glazing to the minimalist approach to the cabinetry and kitchen. What I feel really makes this project so successful is despite the monochromatic pallet the home still looks warm, calm and inviting.

Craig Spencer only uses Black…!!

It's not true Craig Spencer doesn't only use black. New Zealand born Sydney based interior designer Craig Spencer whom is renowned for his moody glamorous hues of black & smokey greys has stepped out from the dark side to reveal a brighter side to Craig Spencer design. Craig was given total flexibility to create absolutely anything after designing for his client at his previous home, the only client input revolved around the redesign of the floor plan. Craig's fearless approach to colour injected throughout the project is balanced by the calm white living space but it's the level of detail that really got my attention, look closely to find little pops of colour within the kitchen cabinetry door edging..... love it!

it’s whats below the Gallery of Modern Art in Varna, Bulgaria

Bulgarian based Studio Mode were commissioned to create the Graffiti Cafe located underneath Gallery of Modern Art in Varna, Bulgaria. Just why it's called the graffiti cafe is beyond me but never the-less I love this project. The timber struts take on a paper like quality reminiscent of book folding art, however the struts not only serve as a key design element they also double as an acoustic system solving sound and ventilation issues.The result is breathtaking and it sits perfectly as an art-space below the Gallery.

Hare + Klein there’s no place like home

Sydney based Hare + Klein is one of my favorite interior designers. This multi-award winning interior design practice lead by Principal Meryl Hare create projects that have a wonderful sense of luxury with wide walkways, soaring foyers and well thought cabinetry and joinery creating projects that reflect the clients aspirations.

Whether it's a warehouse conversion, beach house , apartment or a house in Bellview Hill what stands out to me is that all of Hare + Klein's residential projects feel and look welcoming... a place to retreat and relax.

little footprint

Victorian based MAKE architecture studios' House Reduction project was all about reducing it's internal footprint. As an alternative to the large ‘box on back’ extension, this project looks at how smaller spaces and multifunctional rooms can provide a large family with the space they need. MAKE identify the move towards smaller, more flexible houses as an essential response to conserve resources and reduce carbon footprints.
Screens are used to provide flexibility allowing the living space to expand and contract. The screens also protect the house from the busy road at the rear of the property and can be pulled across to shade the house in summer.

Azuris Hamilton Island by Renato D’Ettorre Architects

Sydney based Renato D'Ettorre Architects have created a slice of heaven on picturesque Hamilton Island, the design of the house responds to it's spectacular location near the edge of the ocean with the site falling steeply away towards the water’s edge. The house is built around the eternal elements of sun, sea and air whilst the internal spaces wrap themselves around water and courtyards, capturing not only ocean views but also inward looking private vistas... take me there!
