 A long vanity area helped create a feeling of intimacy in this relatively large space – a ripple effect finish on vanity, shelving and wall cabinet adds design interest

In a search for space, this new home stretches out underground – plantings add a natural touch in the gym, which otherwise continues the semi-industrial vibe

White and wood make great decor fellows, and same can be said for black and wood – for this kitchen even the dining table joins the cabinetry's two-tone party

This sumptuous garden celebrates the natural world at every turn of its curvaceous flower bed – taking its cue from the saying 'there are no straight lines in nature'

Grey brickwork cladding comes indoors in this home, greeted there by a grey hearth, grey ultra-comfortable furniture and even grey carpet underfoot

This refined, stone clad master ensuite complements its architectural master bedroom wing while offering a modern twist on the classic Hamptons aesthetic

This kitchen offers a hub where family and friends gather, meals are prepared and homework is wrestled with – essentially, a great place to linger 

Biophilic design principles underpin this triangular courtyard home, including maximising natural light and natural connections with long glass-walled corridors

Designer pendants with the look of floating petals hovering over the dining table adding to the overall wow-factor in this kitchen/dining space 

Herringbone tiles on the floor of this bathroom also find their way into a recessed panel in the shower zone – texture and a sense of artisanship result

Looking like a giant Tiffany Princess-cut diamond, this home boasts faceted clerestory windows that float the roof above – optimising mountain views
