Immersive, contemporary and moody, this grey-toned bathroom succeeds in creating the feeling of bathing under a waterfall

Sunken lounge, separated sleeping zones and a sparkling pool – this contemporary take on a rustic farmhouse is all about family

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Classic detailing runs through this hilltop bathroom, in keeping with the wider home – pale tones let the owner's colourful objets stand out

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