Haynes-Roberts

Timothy Haynes and Kevin Roberts are the talent behind New York based interior design firm Haynes-Roberts. "Careful editing, connoisseurship, and comfort .... result in a "modern distillation of classic design that is spare, elegant, and inviting." I agree. Definitely high end but full of inspiration.

Moorish

Scott Weston shared with us images of his Moroccan interpretation for Vogue Australia editor Kirstie Clement here. Now he has sent us images of this Moorish beauty filled with all its treasures. The Sydney house is featured in this month's Vogue Living Australia and we have a sneek peak too of Scott and designer Gregory Phillip's minimalist Moroccan marvel. Photos by Nicolas Watt. Thanks Scott!

Drew Heath Architects

Travelling home from work today I noticed the roads were quieter. That time of the year when those that can flee the city for the summer holidays. A great Australian tradition is to escape to the beach but I'm just as much at home fleeing to the cooler hills or down to the calm lakes and rivers.

Drew Heath has designed two simple hideaways I dream of owning. I love the spartan quality of the cabin in the bush but I'm drawn to the simple lines of the house boat as well. Luxury in life isn't counted in the number of rooms and the most expensive finishes. Luxury is having an escape from the cares of the world to enjoy the simple pleasures with your friends. Drew has a passion for low impact environmental buildings He is both architect and builder. He enjoys the intimacy of the hand built and the small scale. The website is spartan like his designs but to read more about the Zig Zag Cabin go here.

Architect Prineas

"In a city like Sydney our greatest strength is our ability to maximise space and natural light through efficient, environmentally conscious planning. With a passion for aesthetics, we not only fulfill a project brief, we create beautiful places to live, work or visit." And it's true. Clean minimal lines, clever spatial planning and loads of light flooding in in unexpected ways are essential elements of the designs by Architect Prineas. Check out the unusual placement of windows that allow light in and maximise privacy as well as the clever placement of the flat screen TV on the outside of the kitchen island.
