For this renovation, the existing roof was very low, so a new Dimond roof and structure were introduced – skylights run the length of the higher form, accentuating the architecture and bringing in natural light

A dramatic headboard also acts as a screening device/privacy wall in this light-filled bedroom – a great way to turn a practical need into a stand-out feature

For this renovated living space, C-Lite Windows (AWS Frames) with transom louvres serve several functions – accentuating the generous stud, framing the outlooks in a refined way and admitting cooling breezes on high 

This Balinese courtyard garden focusses on creating a harmonious and peaceful space that blends seamlessly into its tropical surroundings – all part of creating a relaxing outdoor escape in the city

This surprising chandelier in an art-soaked high-rise apartment all but defies description – it certainly fulfils two central roles, catching the eye and catching the light

Corten steel provides a discreet edging in the front and back garden of this classic home – both receding and evolving, the steel oxidises by forming a protective, dense rust patina when exposed to wet and dry cycles

Raking rooflines create a striking silhouette on this family-meets-resort style home and add sculptural volume to the interiors – the master suite, looking to a private landscaped courtyard, is a retreat in its own right

Designed for a renowned chef's mid-century home, this kitchen melds with the wider design language while addressing all the needs of a professional, fast working cuisinier – terrazzo & timber enjoy prominence

This balanced country/coastal bathroom evokes a crisp yet serene vibe – vertical green wall panelling brings texture to the design while a glowing vanity-top basin adds a minimalist, spa-like feature

A wood-tread staircase is an appropriate inclusion in a home that seeks to connect with its natural environment – a cactus bed sheltering beneath extends the sense of nature indoors

Connecting to the adjacent kitchen in terms of materiality, this long display shelf is under-lit – highlighting both the stone bench and floating cabinetry below

Here a long landscape window is softened by the interior design – an interior arch and comfy window seat result in a relaxed, welcoming vibe
