Open to its adjacent entertaining zone and spectacular riverside setting, this kitchen is equally well considered in terms of the joy of cooking 

That's the thing with marble, it ages with character and just keeps getting better – even brand new, as on this solid marble-clad island, it looks spectacular

Concealed lighting adds theatre to this centrally located and easily concealed cooking zone, which, like the island, is finished in a noble stone

Light creeps in around the edges of this atmospheric ground floor powder room, highlighting the textural plaster wall finishes

The ornate chandelier is a fitting inclusion in this soaring entertainment/dining/kitchen space – adding bling and drawing attention to the high ceiling

Designed for contemporary living and boasting a stand-out aesthetic, this home packs a lot of entertaining and family enjoyment into an envelope suited to a variety of sites, including more desirable yet smaller options 

Recessed wall storage unit and vanity mirror are cut from the same mould in this light-filled and refined bathroom

Two sinks, a Dornbracht mixer and Zenith Hydrotap water dispenser feature on this expansive island, keeping functionality as well as aesthetics to the fore

In this bathroom, traditional bath time indulgence is off to a reassuringly good start with this classic Axor Montreux tub mixer

 A modern freestanding bathtub and custom-made vanity with a floating basin leads the eye in the main bathroom of this two bathroom makeover

This functional yet uncluttered kitchen stays true to both the boldness of the home's modern architecture and the serenity of the seaside setting

This renovation is an exploration of how to pare back and dwell in smaller spaces while providing a sense of personal connection to the wider urban context
