Pools are usually reserved for the backyard but here the watering hole is pushed up front, separated from the entry by a fence

Part of a wider renovation, the feature beam ceiling in this master bedroom appears here as an extension of the decorative wall joinery

For this dramatic bathroom, a dazzling starburst chandelier was converted to low voltage to meet local building code for use over the tub

For this crisp charcoal and white kitchen, the ceiling-mounted Siemens rangehood is disguised through the choice of a mirrored housing 

One way to allocate spaces in an open-plan environment is through area rugs – another, also seen in this apartment, is with the furniture

This shower stall niche is great for soaps & cacti but it's also home to concealed lighting which shows off the character tilework

Placement and good taste are key – this eye-catching pendant looks all the more spectacular when you're climbing the stairs to meet it

Warm, natural toned finishes give this bathroom retreat a biophilic feel – crowned with a cascade of greenery from a bespoke planter

The starting point for this kitchen was the porcelain island benchtop with its marble pattern and warm veining – other finishes pull the design together
