Beach houses are all about enjoying laidback times with family and friends. Portsea Beach Shack on the Mornington Peninsula is the holiday home of a fun, creative, professional couple with a young daughter. They engaged Pleysier Perkins to update and extend their classic 1960s beach house to improve the function and internal flow of the kitchen and living area and to create a better connection to the outdoors. The kitchen is relaxed and robust; an open and comfortable space for family and friends to gather around. A play of coloured and textured materials – glazed tiles, timber joinery, stainless steel, white painted brick and V-groove boards – maintain the beach house vibe and evoke the spirit of mid-century architecture and design. “The client loved the handcrafted ideology of mid-century design…

As our kitchens become an increasingly integrated component of dining and lounge areas, they are being designed to quietly fade into the background to create a cohesive sense of space. The clients of Leichhardt Oaks wanted a calm and contemplative kitchen, dining and living room, and engaged Benn+Penna to design one long volume that flowed seamlessly out to the garden. “Because it is one room we were conscious of it not reading simply as a kitchen, but more as living room joinery, almost like a piece of furniture,” says Andrew Benn, director of Benn+Penna. The kitchen has a pared-back design and minimal material palette. Joinery on the rear wall sits flush with the door and hallway openings to provide a smooth timber backdrop. Overhead cupboards have white timber door fronts…

The Red Dot Design Best of the Best Award winner Aio Aurajet twin shower system is back in a stylish new matte black finish for modern homes. With an intriguing sculptural form and elegant design, the Aio Aurajet not only looks amazing, but also delivers a divine showering experience. The Aio uses Methven’s Aurajet technology to deliver a highly efficient and luxurious shower. Featuring a unique halo-shaped showerhead, Aurajet utilises hidden nozzles to generate individual jets of water that deflect against precisely angled surfaces within the elegant contours of the showerhead. This creates stunning fans of dense droplets that deliver a wide, even, full-bodied spray – whether used as a traditional shower or in the detached handheld option. The water flow of Aio is optimised to be water efficient without…

Leon House is the man behind his eponymous Leon House design studio in Perth, and has been designing award-winning kitchens for more than 20 years.

He loved bringing all of these qualities to this East Fremantle house. The kitchen is finished using a variety of brilliant surfaces and finishes, from the Bernini acid washed Carrara stone on the social island and chocolate…

As you drive northwards, beyond Melbourne’s Tullmarine airport, semi-urban sprawl makes way for swathes of pastoral grazing land and grassy knolls, sparsely populated with pockets of trees and granite outcrops. As you descend a natural rise into the little-known district of Nulla Vale, two identical shed-shaped silhouettes come into focus; standalone structures across more than two kilometres of harsh terrain. Occupying a mere 50 square metres in the centre of a 300-acre plot, a modest weekender marks the end of a snaking driveway, which rises and falls along a natural desire line. Designed by architecture practice MRTN Architects, this rural getaway belongs to two Melbourne professionals, Michelle and Louise (and their three dogs: Scout, Boston and Diesel), who sought sanctuary from their demanding city lives. “We drove off the obvious…

When it comes to architecture and design, Yip Yuen Hong is the master of distilling complex requirements down to the essentials. The multiple President’s Design Award (Singapore) winner and founding partner of ipli Architects is an advocate and a practitioner of a solutions-driven design approach in which simplicity of form, program, material and space results in soulful and inspiring architecture. Despite the focus of his practice largely on residential buildings with various-sized footprints, Yuen Hong finds the most comfort in smaller spaces that pose opportunities for exploration and innovation. With his approach to kitchen and bathroom design – for his clients as well as for himself – the architect warns against over-designing and oversizing that can come with an excessive amount of space. The temptation that comes with the luxury…

There many moving parts in the design of residential projects: be they new builds, alterations and additions, or scaled renovations. From the configuration of site that begins a project to the furniture and interior architecture that encourages the way a space is utilised to the colour palette, materials and texture that are used to create atmosphere, the design possibilities are not only endless, they are inspirational. In the kitchen, this extends to the selection of major appliances like ovens and refrigerators. At Sub-Zero and Wolf, choosing which appliances will enhance your cooking experiences is only the first step. Deciding upon design styles, options to integrate into custom cabinetry, and a stacked or linear installation is the next. For example, the Wolf M Series ovens are available in four unique designs.…

Three Piece House is a new build designed by architecture studio TRIAS situated upon a raised, reclaimed brick platform. Located in Newcastle and enjoying coastal views, the clients were looking to downsize and live simply yet meaningfully. “They wanted their bathroom to be small and simple, with lots of natural light and low-maintenance finishes,” says Jennifer McMaster, a director at TRIAS. And it was equally important that the bathroom connect visually and theoretically with the ensuing residence. There are moments throughout the house when the pre-existing brick platform rises up to make itself known, such as within the bathroom. “One long wall becomes a terracotta plinth, stepping up to host a basin and then folding down to create a shower seat,” says Jennifer. “In this way, it feels like another…

A beautiful consistency flows through this home of a human resources consultant. It has to do with an open approach to space, an embrace of soft filtered daylight through sheer curtains and blinds, and most of all, a dedicated use of one particular material. “We introduced an old material, terrazzo, as the main surface in the home,” explains Hung-Hsuan Shen, a director at the Taiwanese firm Ospace Architects. The intention was to create the sense of a ‘Taiwanese’ home for the owner of the apartment, who had been working overseas for 20 years. “Terrazzo was commonly used in the 1980s in Taiwan,” says Shen, “as the major finishing material on floors.” But here, Ospace Architects has introduced it to wall surfaces as well – including in the bright, open bathroom…

There was a time when the city of Bandung, Indonesia, was called “Paris Van Java”. The northern hilly part of the city, with its lush setting and cool clean air, attracted many people in the early 20th century to come and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere. As the tea plantation business grew, new economy in the area became increasingly vibrant by the day and attracted more businesses to the city. Hotels, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities started to grow, bringing people to come and enjoy a different kind of entertainment in the Dutch Indies. And before long, single family detached houses started sprawl. Throughout the city there are many Dutch Colonial-style houses with terraces and balconies that overlook the garden. This is an architectural cue Bandung is known and celebrated for:…

Designed by Alec Pappas Architects and with Dekton®’s ultra compact surfaces in mind, this new house was designed for the second floor to take in water views from every angle. The clients wanted a minimalist, contemporary home that wouldn’t date and that would complement the streetscape and other modern homes nearby. A family of four with two teenage children, the clients wanted a clutter-free, low-maintenance interior with naturalhued materials and a minimalist colour scheme. They had a close working relationship with FORM-RITE Co, which suggested the use of Dekton® by Cosenitno. FORM-RITE Co, the benchtop fabricator and installer, regularly works with the ultra compact surface, Dekton®, in kitchens, bathrooms and laundries. The sleek material and colour range suited the minimalist style of the clients and the architecture, and Dekton® Aura15…

Creating a relaxed, community vibe in dense, inner-city Melbourne is a tough act by any stretch. But Steve and Keryn, who grew up in Adelaide and rural South Australia respectively, wished to do just that for their growing family. With busy careers and three children, they were rapidly running out of space in their Kensington residence, which they’d bought in 2011 on a tightly packed street just four kilometres from the CBD. Built in 1914, the house sat somewhere between Edwardian and art deco in era and features. The challenge was how to do more with less, by creating something new at the rear in contrast to the existing house and take it from a three-and-a-half to a flexible four-and-a-half bedroom home with a kids’ rumpus doubling as a fifth…

Take a look through the portfolio – online or via instagram – of Brisbanebased Hogg & Lamb, and you might be surprised to see that one project doesn’t necessarily mirror the characteristics of another. This is intentional, as one client may not share the same needs, or aesthetic intentions, as another. Michael Hogg and Greg Lamb, the co-founders of Hogg & Lamb, say their approach to architecture and design is predominantly informed by the client rather than a set style they are known for and engaged to roll out time after time. Those two approaches form the basis of the two camps Michael calls the foxes and the hedgehogs. “The fox can adapt to any situation and make the best out of it, whereas the hedgehog has one idea of…

When it comes to our homes, today’s residents want – and expect - more. Not only must our homes be aesthetically pleasing but they should have fixtures and fittings that are genuinely useful and, as our focus shifts more and more to sustainability, be of high quality and long-lasting. This doesn’t just apply to the traditional family house of old, either. Where multi-residential developments once favoured cost-saving practices over long-term quality and longevity, today’s residents expect a lot more, with apartments no longer seen as a short-term option but a lifelong investment. With sleek, streamlined designs, cutting-edge technology and the ability to have pure, filtered chilled, boiling or sparkling water instantly at the touch of a button, the Zip HydroTap epitomises this move towards better, sustainable appliances, fitting the needs…

Set in the back block of an inconspicuous laneway on the streets of Fitzroy, Melbourne, is a house that stands strong. It draws the eye down the lane and creates a sense of awe. And that’s just from the outside. Step inside the home of Lucy Feagins and Gordon Johnson and one is transported to a sanctuary for modern living. “Fitzroy is a very gritty environment, so the requirements for the home needed to offer some sort of refuge from that. It means when you go through the spaces there is always somewhere to look that is peaceful,” shares Kennedy Nolan principal Patrick Kennedy. “It’s amazing how there’s really not much space around this house, it’s a tight block but it doesn’t feel tight, and I think it’s because of…
