The timber deck on this home connects tonally with the indoor use of reclaimed red brick and the natural backyard lawn and garden

Breakfast is the most warming meal – especially when served at one of this kitchen's two breakfast bars complete with radiators tucked in below 

This master ensuite is cool in black, white and grey. Even the accessories – towel rails included – play a part in the monochromatic composition

Part of a grand landscaping rethink, this front door approach is lined with plantings – the succulents are in pots to ensure survival in harsh conditions

Picturesque water vistas soften out this home’s dark colour palette – moody, semi-industrial kitchen cabinetry included

For this renovation outdoor living project, a new cool and shady cabana provides extra privacy from neighbours who overlook the property

For this nursery, the custom wallpaper mural and frameless corner window overlooking the atrium garden reinforce the feeling of living amongst the trees

Living spaces extend beyond this home's build envelope with giant glass sliders gliding away to make the modern indoor and outdoor living spaces one

Playing with materials and different depths for different elements helped define the sculptural shape of the main body of this airy kitchen

Looking a little like a domestic fortress from below, this contemporary, cliff-hugging home also opens up to its natural environment in dramatic style

A porcelain sheet wall with the look of a large travertine stone slab backs the generous wet area in this contemporary bathroom – other finishes complement the rock star finish

The use of dark textured joinery material and sleek shiney brushed brass handles on this ensuite vanity is in keeping with features in the nearby kitchen
