Congratulations to SAAJ Design, winner of the 2022 TIDA Australia Architect Suite of the Year – open plan design that still retains a sense of privacy when needed

This sustainable home responds to its mature owners' needs for an aging-in-place design that connects with nature in reminiscence of their previous abode

Inspired by the sleek, low-lying modernist outdoor living spaces of American West-Coast Modernism, this space offers an all-weather invitation to linger

Aren't humans funny? First we want the once-tucked-away kitchen to come out and join the living spaces, then we employ clever ways to conceal it all over again

This contemporary, light bringing ageing-in-place renovation picks up on a curved feature in the original heritage home and runs with it

A tired London Georgian Villa and corresponding Mews House are reinvented celebrate the past and also modern living – the two interiors, divided by garden, share similar yet subtly differing sensibilities

Almost every room in this coastal home connects with the scenery – this bedroom has glass sliders trained on the living spaces with the blue of the ocean beyond

This kitchen is to the side of an expansive, open-plan living space – an American white oak frame underpins the cuboid island's leading surfaces

Indoor-outdoor flow to this large entertaining area provides the opportunity for flexible living with the outdoor fireplace and teppanyaki proving a hit

BT Bamboo Eco Flooring features in this reinvented, now sustainable home which is light on energy use – the bamboo floor provides warmth and texture

This new bathroom in a character cottage bridges the time divide with character tiles, copper shower fittings and concealed niche lighting in the shower zone
