Tucked away in a private wing, this refined master suite comprises a panelled bedroom, a bespoke walk-in wardrobe and a light-filled bathroom with dark woodgrain cabinetry and sculptural vessel basins

Here, engineered stone Trendstone Neve benchtops with a subtle grey vein add visual interest without overshadowing the kitchen's individualistic design elements

This upper level deck makes the most all weathers with a roof overhang that admits afternoon sunshine while providing shelter from desert rains

In-slab hydronic heating is teamed with this on-show Escea fireplace for a cosy interior – the fire surround's refined fluting matches other elements in the home

A kitchen/dining space benefits from these sculptural see-through pendants – nothing, not even the lighting, gets between the chef and the scenery

A near-invisible full glass panel sits in behind this baton timber privacy screen to protect it from damage from shower water

Wall tiles with a distressed finish make for a strong visual contrast running behind this smooth-as-silk sculptural tub

A bedroom-to-bathroom conversion unlocks optimum bathing space – half-height tiled privacy walls, custom ledges, and feature lighting bring the contemporary new retreat alive

Embracing agrarian references and honest, hard-wearing materials – recycled brickwork, charred timber, and raw, off-form concrete – this home has a look of permanence and the feel of a private sanctuary 

The star of your kitchen and often your living spaces, the not-so-humble kitchen island comes in all shapes, materials and sizes – let this collection of sculptural stand-outs fire up your own project

Smart design choices regarding windows and doors, and their location, have a major impact on your home's aesthetics and functionality – as this Trends Property story explores

A single design flourish can lift your project – Poggenpohl cabinetry in Pine Green metallic gloss lacquer provided a unique direction for this kitchen
