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

Bathrooms By Elite pays homage to this home's 1960s charms, introducing classic colours and fittings – standout tiles from The Tile Depot played a key role

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

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

This home's semi-industrial street facade includes glass, steel and board-formed concrete – the concrete also runs indoors, creating a textured feature wall

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

An intelligent response to a tricky site, individualistic elements and flowing living spaces all contribute to this character family home

A tricky heritage rail station is transformed into a dramatic restaurant by Greymatters, the design evoking the celebrity chef's roots and memories 

If you washed up on the beach you could do worse than stumble into this luxury master bathroom, with material, technological and scenic riches

Dramatic in charcoal/grey tones, this kitchen uses the substantial island for cooking and also as a privacy buffer from the public spaces

Large format porcelain stone-look tiles and antique finger tiles create textural and tonal interest behind the feature tub in this ensuite

Large operable louvre pergolas over the courtyard and upper balcony provide precise control over solar penetration for this light-filled home
