This wood-fronted kitchen connects with adjacent wood dining furniture, timber doors on a nearby fire surround and, yes, even the ceiling

In this minimalist kitchen, a Blanco Subline sink recedes into the Florium stone benchtop while the Buddy Kitchen Mixer in Rose Gold stands to attention

A recalcitrant child might find that request a tricky one, given that this living space – with wall stackers rolling back – opens up to the outdoors and rolling hills

Natural features in this backyard garden extend to a cane chair grouping – part of a pallet of low upkeep products & finishes

Not all outdoor living spaces are a huddle of trees and bench seats – however, this al fresco retreat gets its fair share of nature from the lake setting directly in front
