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

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

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

Why not make your place your own? For this character kitchen, a feature wood pigeon laser-cut metal panel on the island creates a breakfast welcome 

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

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

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

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

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.” 

Downsizing doesn't mean a crimped lifestyle – here a new low-upkeep home on a modest site achieves generous living spaces, a garden outlook and feeling of seclusion

Style dovetails functional in this easy-upkeep bathroom with a pleasing tactile palette – zones of use mean up to three children can use the space at once
