This custom wall hung vanity has a marble benchtop and concrete Halo tabletop basin – cantilevering the vanity adds to the room's sense of space

In the right setting, a modest heating source goes a long way – this home's entire thermal envelope is upgraded to secure a very ambient interior climate 

A wall of character brickwork sets the scene for this space, so a grey, semi-industrial tone for the cabinetry seems completely in keeping

Skylight, window and reflecting mirror all come to the illumination party in this powder room – a space that always benefits from natural lighting 

Tall lancewoods are matched with base green plants – Myosotidium hortensia or The Chatham Island Forget-me-not – in this seaside lawn surround

Some splashbacks cover a whole kitchen wall, others are sized to their benchtops – here, a tile-lined niche provides storage for frequently used elements and also display

There's nothing like drawing on your setting – designers infused soft curves into this rooftop harbour-view kitchen, achieving the desired nautical feel

On entering this garden-view master ensuite, space expands, natural light filters in, and bathing rituals are elevated to the sublime

This coastal home for one makes the most of its views and existing build rights while welcoming extended family and not annoying neighbours

The scope of this European-feel kitchen runs from pushing out the back of the home for added space to multiple work stations and stand-out detailing 

There are taps, there are basins, and then there's their relationship – here, Fantini mixers sit beside, not behind, asymmetrical Claybrook basins by Plumbline

Some appliances want to stand out and be counted – such as this original Fletcher cast iron stove repaired and restored by Chippendale Restorations
