The outcome for this outdoor project is serene, easy-care and inviting, but the various aspects addressed to achieve this look were diverse

This villa is reworked for aesthetics and comfort – a refined central joinery element offers different things to different spaces and organises flow

This water-hued shower stall, part of a comprehensive pool house design, opens right up to the great outdoors

This timber vanity is substantial and masculine while gun metal vessel basins/tapware contrast and complement the feature tiles behind

This bar / entertainment space stretches out before the eye – pale, wood-look floors accentuate the size of the already generous volume

Agave attenuata survives on minimal water, thriving in extremely dry, sunny spots including sandy, well-drained soils, as well as tolerating partial shade

Weather a little bit in between? An Exterior Fire Pit, from Design Depot, makes all the difference to the enjoyment of this indoor-outdoor room

This renovated home's easy connection to the rear courtyard garden is enhanced through large character steel framed doors, by Steel Design

Bespoke furniture pieces were designed for this exotic interior, finished in bold colours, luxurious velvets, and solid wood veneer

Amongst other sculptural elements, the built-in lacquered display shelving in this study is well worth admiring in its own right

Where a gable roof form goes, a giant picture window can easily follow – natural light is in abundance for this master bedroom

A Staron solid surface island with fluted surfaces finds a linear echo in the splashback to the rear, comprised of Mosaic Kitkat tiles by Design Tiles
