This bathroom offers a grownup retreat while being considered for children in the future – atmospheric fish scale mosaics make a splash

Bringing refinement, open-plan/sectionable living and showcasing a terrace and view to die for – this apartment interior creates an enviable eyrie

With 24 years' worth of award-winning projects to his name, architectural designer Jason Higham values close client-designer connections, attention to context and sustainability

This scullery in dark-stained cabinetry is the workhorse of the cooking-focussed kitchen with Teppanyaki and grill at the ready

For this outdoor living project, the garden design included planting additional tiers to complement the approach taken with hardscape elements

Crisp white windows and doors on this classic-look new home pop against the dark stained weatherboard cladding and timber decks 

For this penthouse interior, curved forms join clean-lined bronze and glass finishes to faintly imitate the snaking River Thames below

From warm wood welcome to access to handy ablutions with the touch of a slider – this hallway presents two faces, one for visitors calling and one for the call of nature

Post renovation, a new upstairs bedroom springs into being – finished in James Hardie Axon vertical shiplap cladding to keep things visually simple

This island bench in laminated solid American white oak timber seems to point to sightlines to the exterior dining spaces and seaside beyond

Reinvented by Poolco, this now smooth-surfaced pool – with an Aqua Bright Eco Finish – requires almost no upkeep and will last for decades

Furniture, shelving, cabinetry all celebrate wood in this apartment, with the wooded trail continuing into the flooring and built in storage for the walk-in wardrobe
