Vision and reality
The ornate fireplaces in this renovated home looks great while its fuss, mess and labour is circumvented thanks to underfloor hydronic heating
Maximising space and storage
An introduced dividing wall brings opportunity to give this marble-look bathroom open shelf storage, while a large wall mirror doubles the sense of space
Queenslander character
A beautiful Queenslander home was ill-served by a modern but style-free kitchen – enter a new design in keeping with the home's classic appeal
Respecting the sun and wind
Passive heating and cooling are features of this home which is designed to sit well with its neighbours – through sightlines pick up on mature trees
Industrial strength
In harmony with its industrial setting, this one-off kitchen and connected living spaces with relaxed furniture show how bespoke design can beautifully reflect any kind of interior
Ingrained style
Floating the vanity in this contemporary master bathroom adds to the room's sense of spaciousness – wood graining meets marble-look veining
No gender bias here
This kids' rumpus room complete with fun lighting is adjacent to the family room – so everyone's close, without toy chaos impacting the adult spaces
Great floor for pescatarians?
Honey-toned Strip Allegro Oak Terra herringbone floors by Haro Flooring are just one of many stand-out features in this character-rich home
Evoking the past
This stunning pendant – Endless from Roll & Hill – combines a sculptural air with a sense of harking back – perfect for this new period kitchen in a Victorian home
Three strikes, a winner
A sculptural solid surface sink/vanity by Progetto is accompanied by brass tapware and a Limestone Pannonia Blue splashback to elegant effect
Plane and simple?
Planar surfaces – including a dead flush induction hob – create a clean-lined, understated presence for this contemporary coastal kitchen
Going underground
An expansive home with bronze anodised cladding set high on the Hollywood Hills heads underground to cool architectural spaces
