This 3 bedroom house in central Flinders in Victoria was designed for a young family by Wolveridge Architects. The simple clean lines of the facade are matched by the interiors where a series of rooms are connected to each other through cut out views and slat screens. Changes of level, up or down a few steps also delineate the simple spaces, while a central courtyard with fireplace provides a sheltered outdoor room. Understated and simply stylish.
Sad, sorry and down right ugly, this tired 70s house and garden needed a total makeover. Enter Ascher Smith Exterior Styling and Landscaping based in Perth Western Australia. OMG the after is nothing less than a miracle. A Moroccan vibe with liberal retro references it is the perfect family outdoor space. Love it!
I'm stalking another of Melbourne's Victorian era mansions, a confection of a house in the suburb of Coburg. Like yesterday's house its interior has taken a modern turn while still retaining the romance of bygone times (design by Clare Cousins Architects) but whereas yesterday's house was layer upon layer of greige this house is all about colour. "Expressions of interest" means I can't afford it but perhaps you can. Link here while it lasts.
I'm stalking in the oh so exclusive Sydney suburb of Woollahra, the "consular precinct" no less. The elaborate facade of this 1880 Italianate building is matched by the elegant interiors by Thomas Hamel & Associates and it's no surprise that it has graced the pages of Vogue Living. Oh so chic, oh sophisticated and probably oh so expensive. Perhaps the GDP of a small developing nation? If you have the cash to splash the link is here while it lasts.
Nestling into the slope this split level house by Melbourne-based Technē Architecture + Interior Design sees light filled public spaces rotating off a central dark spine. Family living is bespoke, understated and stylish all the while not distracting from the beautiful bushland surrounds.
