Home kitchen bathroom commercial design
Exit stage right
Eyes on the view and board-formed concrete cladding while doors stack away unobtrusively to the right, making the indoors and outdoors one
Woodn't you know it
Trees as scenery, building material and even to-hand energy source – this mountain home pays homage to a beautiful, sustainable material
Pool (and surround)
The pool may be the eye candy and place of fun in this design – however, a generous surrounding space not only makes the pool look even grander but it also provides plenty of room to play
Diving into summer (or winter)
This all weathers riverside pavilion features a cantilevered benchtop – in Calacatta Extra marble-effect porcelain tiles – that could all but double as a diving board if the river was closer
Part of the landscape
This house sits modestly within the landscape with a natural materials palette of wood, concrete, and glass elements – retaining existing native trees was another key assimilating aspect
Along similar lines
Louvretec tilting and retractable roof louvres sit well with corrugated roofing as seen in this drone's-eye view of an expansive renovation project – shelter and functionality are perfectly matched
The bubbles are finer up here
Adding a touch of semi-industrial chic, a floor-to-ceiling glass and stainless steel cabinet serves as both china closet and wine cellar in this high-end penthouse kitchen
Blue for a boy
The days of colour coding gender might be over but here the designer utilised calming blue Di Lorenzo tilework, enhancing the overall bathing experience for its principal user – a teenage boy
Fresh finish
A Progetto Buddy Dual function kitchen mixer, in brushed brass PVD, from The Kitchen Hub, is a feature of this kitchen – PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) gives a decorative yet durable finish
Ambiguous footing
Lining treatments emphasise the ambiguity of this indoor-outdoor space, with Realstone Slate Musk Naturale rectified tiles also playing their part
Pop-up laundry
Want your laundry close at hand yet not on display? This integrated version resides in the heart of the scullery – out of sight and out of mind when not in use
Sparkling inspiration
The owners' love of crystals inspired the bathroom designer's choice of a Michael Angelo Granite quartz vanity benchtop, from Universal Granite
