An existing Italian marble benchtop connects with stainless steel accents – touch-free handles and a pocket door pantry add to the clean look

These walls feature curves highlighted with a tactile, pill-shaped ‘tic-tac’ tile – their rounded shape emphasised by a coloured grout

An in-situ concrete wall at the front of the property anchors this glass-walled pavilion home into its environment

Here, wood floors complement both the Dekton stone-look benchtops and the American White Oak, dark stain wood cabinetry 

While natural light enters via a clerestory window, privacy to the toilet and shower windows is maintained with privacy film

This home is built right amongst mature oaks – reflecting the owners' love of wood that extends to the custom dining table

A pretty, classic cottage is given contemporary accents and modern, sustainable functionality – by the experienced team at Buildology 

White wall-mounted shelving complements freestanding shelving units with rolled steel frames seen elsewhere in this kitchen

Limited space, awkward solar, need for clear interior vision – a clever design move addresses all this and sustainability, too 

This standout landscape and pool design enhances connection to the family home for improved use – level changes are seamless

Quiet tones, luxurious finishes and features, plus several space-expanding design moves all contribute to the refined presence of this New York apartment

Soft tones, feature curves, and an uninterrupted view of the harbour were all on the menu for this reconsidered kitchen
