Watch the design development process of this new multi-use winery building by JSPA Design for Les Terres Blanches

This texture-rich coastal holiday home responds to its wild setting with a hunkered down design comprising intersecting forms in natural tones

A sculptural al fresco kitchen and matching moveable dining table complement this spectacular Princes Wharf penthouse setting

Everything has to begin somewhere – here, the designer shares the train of thought that resulted in this clean-lined, hub-of-the-home kitchen

This refined main bathroom takes its cues from its home's mountain surroundings, particularly as seen in the colourful alpine season of autumn

A simple form, a simple material palette and a homogeneous colour scheme – however, this is only half the story of this cleverly designed home

A dark and narrow kitchen and dining room and separate living room are transformed as part of this zoned and light-filled renovation

Large overhangs and electronic slat actuator screens help to naturally cool, protect and expand the living quarters of this riverside home

Water colours, ceramics, line drawings, limited edition prints and embossed graphics enliven what could have been a dark and narrow hallway

This all weather al fresco setting tones in with the hard landscaping and the verdant flora that softens the lines of the new swimming pool

This vibrant and comfortable L-shaped sofa suits the shape of the room and more besides – situated in a bold addition to a character home
