Part of a heritage home, this kitchen rethink creates a modern family hub with improved flow, a connection to the courtyard, and a focus on social interaction

This bathroom renovation blends heritage elements with modern function – featuring handmade tiles, a one-off vanity and a focus on accessibility

Neo-classic design dovetails modern functionality in this interior renovation, by Alexander &CO, complete with pool and ocean views

For this project, Luijten Landscaping achieved improved connections, an expanded deck with seating area, barbecue and morning coffee spot, lush plantings and a pool to really swim in

Featuring sustainable materials, a barn-inspired design, and rural outlooks, this grand home seamlessly blends classic and modern elements

A multi-generational cottage characterised by three soaring volumes and stepped floors harmonises with its sloping lakeside site

A temperature-controlled wine storage alcove with marble backed display and LED lighting caters for 144 bottles, plus 12 magnums

A generous covered living space extends the social areas for this renovation, with green, non-slip flooring evoking the sense of grass

The kitchen cabinetry tones for this renovation drew inspiration from the yellow wattle blooming in the surrounding environment in the spring

Here, a kitchen's dark-lacquered cabinetry recedes visually while concealed minimalist lighting brings accents back into prominence

Yup, crazy paving is back, albeit with a more upmarket appeal – here, Bullen Sandstone Crazy Paving, from Eco, graces a circular terrace & pool surrounds 

Riserless stairs create a sculptural vibe, let the light shine through and importantly avoid blocking sight lines, adding to the overall sense of space
