This bathroom has been completely reconsidered, layout and entrances included – resulting in more space, greater functionality and a dramatic impact

This design celebrates a natural, undulating groundscape and native plantings at the front, while the rear garden softens forms and brings privacy

With a red flue descending from the double height ceiling in this coastal living space, the gas fire helps divide the room and creates a sculptural feature in the process

With a treated top surface, this vanity began life as a kitchen butchers block table – part of a wider eclectic meets rustic bathroom design

Barestone panels were selected for this garden wall for their lightweight durable properties and design aesthetic – hidden planter boxes will soften the look over time

What do you get when your bedrooms are all upstairs? Well, in this G.J. Gardner medium density-friendly design, you get a living space literally the size of the home's footprint

Opulent display shelving adds to this kitchen's furniture-like, luxe feel – letting the timber wall surfaces shine through provides a second positive

Millboard Smoked Oak boards, from Forte Refined Timber, provide the natural deck underpinning this outdoor living and dining backyard retreat

In contrast to the wood box that contains the public spaces of this home, the private wing is clad in Corten steel. Both materials sensitive to the surrounding landscape

 The palette for this home includes wood flooring, blackbutt decks, cedar ceilings running out to timber soffits and Rosewood timber framed windows & doors 

For this renovation, the interior circulation edge is lowered while the pool surrounds are lifted, setting up a garden edge where previously fall protection was required

This 'Perch', with a custom Eucalyptus built-in daybed tucked between bedrooms, allows for a quiet spot perfect for meditation and gazing into the trees
