All classic to the street but this home now opens up to new light-filled living spaces at the rear and side – subtle detailing and material pairings lead the way 

This easy care city garden with entertaining space, non-slip decking and floating steps facilitates safe and sure movement while lighting brings it alive at night

Here, the owners were inspired by the colours of the native bush and skies, so wanted to optimise their indoor impact – clerestory windows played their part

The owner desired to come home to a get-away-from-it-all bathroom space: “I want the hanging gardens of Babylon to stare at me when I’m soaking.” 

The lights lower, the screen flickers up – but, wait, this is all at home – concealed lighting really sets the scene in this atmospheric media room

For this renovation, the original concrete façade has been stretched away from the building – landscaping creeps into the void, for an organic feel

The feature pendant in this penthouse kitchen has its work cut out catching the eye when the adjacent rangehood is a sculpture on high

Whoever said getting there is half the fun might well have taken this sweeping drive with mature gardens up to the waiting house

This garden was formed around a home designed as a sculpture in its own right – the planting palette even complements the interior colours 

Similarly, a classic orange tiled roof never goes out of style – despite a transformative renovation, this home still celebrates character roofing

A Brighton Groove fluted bath accompanies a custom designed American oak vanity in this light-filled, visually arresting bathroom

The sculptural bar and wine storage facility (complete with on-screen cheetahs) is a head-turning feature in this cavernous relaxation space
