The views are spectacular and this renovation with new kitchen is more than a match – simplified interiors, evoking a modern minimalism, were key

Strong lines, angled windows and robust materials recommend this home which downplays its three-storey height and opens to the landscape at rear

This pool's tilework ties with black accents on the home while the infinity edge seems to go on forever, requiring skilled craftsmanship to achieve

When action calls there's no time for cupboard doors – a custom pegboard hanging system organises the family’s recreational gear in this renovated home

This family showhome captures your heart – but you have questions, some obvious, some not – G.J. Gardner's Help Page lets you quietly become empowered

Having storage space is one thing, having it close at hand is another – this renovation/extension solves this issue with one bold joinery master stroke

Ever wanted more from your bathroom window? At the press of a button, this 4m wide window disappears upward into a cavity while the lower section of privacy glass un-frosts for views to the ocean

Fitted with a fireplace, kitchen and woodfire pizza oven, this outdoor living space is in use all year round, rather than just during summer 

This substantial scullery literally disappears into the woodwork – one of several scullery treatments in this collection of kitchen ancillary spaces

This informal dining space has a contemporary table and chairs while modern pendants hover overhead – the other key ingredient is plenty of space

For this kitchen remodel, the Dekton Shell Liquid island benchtop in the foreground is accompanied by an existing perimeter stainless steel hob/sink
