Glass walls meet retracted glass sliders to give this master bedroom the feel of being at one with the great outdoors – sounds of the pool add to the restful ambience in the desert home

Guests lucky enough to be allocated this bedroom are steeped in nature – from the views, to the olive headboard to the wall cabinetry and ceiling in rich wood tones

Urban Penny mosaics, from Odin Tiles, feature on both a ledge shower wall and shower soap niche in this bathroom – adding texture and detailing at the same time  

A sintered stone island benchtop – Staturaio Silver, honed – is matched with a Princess Grey granite hob wall surround and perimeter benchtop in this material-rich kitchen

The mix of finishes specified for this kitchen includes engineered benchtops with a semi-industrial aesthetic – implying a well-used workspace

This home is designed and built with the rigours of the Passive House Standard front of mind – material choices merge with the land while planning optimises outlooks and outdoor living 

Urban Match finger tiles in White are a feature of this bathroom as are the three sculptural towel rails that echo the vertical lines of the pale-toned wall finish

Renovated, then flooded, this re-renovated kitchen was born again with fresh changes driven by owner rethinks and the needs of now older children

This development in Point Chevalier addresses the need for new housing opportunities in city-fringe suburbs – the five homes are low maintenance, sustainable, and genuinely enjoyable to live in

This bathroom has it both ways – creating a warm, grounded ambience through an earthy palette while also celebrating connected outlooks and the joy of bathing under the stars 

Minimalist metal towel rails are in keeping with the burnished, metal-look wall tiles and copper Hansa tapware in this metallic themed bathroom

Here, kitchen benchtop and dining table are in dramatically different materials – however, having them both in similar proportions, allows the eye to make an easy connection
