This renovation marries sustainable small footprint living with a quest for spaciousness and delight – a reworked facade and haptic-minded interior both feature

Classic detailing, a furniture look, some colour and visual connections were all part of the equation for this home's character-filled family kitchen

Sometimes a design has to reach beyond the tastes of the owners – here, for a development where home and bathroom had to offer broad appeal

With sandy tones, elegant soft touches and a flowing family-friendly layout, this G.J.Gardner Palm Springs showhome is all about relaxed, stylish living

This home digs into the sloping site to unearth additional square meterage – a CNC-milled wood partition lines the atrium and reflects geometric patterns 

There's plenty to look at in this pool project including a ball sculpture/diving board, a tinkling waterfall and a rather lazy onlooker clinging to the fence

Western red cedar covers the floors and ceiling of this gabled home's interior – in part a celebration of the owner's business in the timber trade

For this 5th Avenue apartment turned modern home, the use of sliding glass panels maintains the sense of the interior's greater dimensions 

A modern tabletop basin is teamed with traditionally toned copper tapware – an apt pairing in a modern bathroom that complements its 1920s cottage 

With a refined material palette of stone, timber, concrete, and natural tiles the outdoor spaces blend seamlessly with this modern home

The brief for an upmarket pool and landscaping was standard enough but the teetering clifftop location and scale of the pool made it exceptional

Extractor turns eye-catching feature in this kitchen – handcrafted brass inserts inject energy and drama into the rangehood and create a talking point
