Dark and stormy: Three Stories North

Projects | Embracing the character of its 1890s shell, this family home features an unusual combination of materials that is at once dark, moody and surprisingly warm.

A laid-back state of mind: Sandy Point House

Projects | Embedded in a landscape of sand dunes and scrubland, the kitchen and bathing spaces of this coastal home offer refuge and respite to a family during their much-loved beachside vacations.

Suburban escape: Cooks River House

Projects | Immersed in a tumbling hillside garden, this reworking of a classic bungalow eschews suburban tropes in favour of spaces that foster connection with the landscape.

A ‘one-in-100-year renovation’: Concrete Blonde

Projects | Tucked behind an existing heritage home on a tight block with a south-facing yard, this generous addition offers light-filled, textured spaces with a natural, earthy palette.

Extra-ordinary

Projects | With brick as the predominant material, this house is like a contemporary rendition of an historic ruin, affirming the pedestal of brick in architecture.

Catching the wave

Projects | Arches, circles, curves – these two interiors seek a softer, more rotund way of welcoming customers.

Artful apertures: Cloud House

Projects | A restful sanctuary, this house uses carefully considered apertures and subtle texture to create a sense of unencumbered space and levity.

Distributing happiness: Michele De Lucchi

People | Rebecca Gross caught up with this prominent Italian designer, who was crucial to the birth of the iconic Memphis Group.

Magic touch: Gold Coast residence

Projects | Concrete and timber join forces in this house to offer a visual and physical experience that is close to architectural magic.

Hot House: Great Granny House

Projects | A language of movement is expressed here: as if shaped by the wind, the sun and the ways in which it is used and moved through.
