For our Malua Bay beach house we created bathrooms inspired by the soft, natural palette of the beach - warm sandy tones, light textures, and organic materials that capture the calmness of the ocean and the effortless beauty of coastal living.

Every detail was chosen to evoke a sense of serenity, lightness, and connection to nature. A space to slow down, unwind, and feel completely at ease.

Autumn House | Cook. The brief for this new home extension was autumn. Not literally, but in the colours, textures and warmth of the season.

Spotted gum, sandstone, travertine, warm timber and soft sage green come together in a palette that feels earthy and a little nostalgic. The kind of colours that change with the light and become more beautiful with age.

The same palette will carry through the existing house, with autumn-toned paint colours, soft tan leather and warm, textured rugs creating a sense of continuity from room to room.

The extension designed by @vicarso_ will open up the back of the house with a new kitchen, dining and living space, along with a bathroom, mud room and multipurpose room. A high raked ceiling and wood fireplace will give the main living space a sense of volume, while the materials keep it feeling warm and grounded.

Most importantly, the extension makes better use of the generous block and gives the family room to grow into the house, rather than out of it.

Autumn House.

Meers | By @britsom_philips_architects. Located in Belgium, this home beautifully blurs the line between architecture and nature.

Double-height ceilings frame the treetop views, while the sunken living room creates a warm and cosy retreat, a perfect balance of natural materials, expansive openings, and intimate spaces.

Kingston Foreshore | Bathroom + Laundry. A complete rethink of two small, hardworking spaces.

The original bathroom and laundry were dated and lacked storage and functionality. The new design makes much better use of the existing footprint, while creating a sense of calm and continuity between the two spaces.

Warm timber joinery is paired with Japanese mosaic tiles, emerald quartzite natural stone and brass fixtures.

In the bathroom, a curved fluted-glass shower screen softens the space, while a continuous stone ledge provides practical storage and connects the different elements of the room.

In the new laundry zone, full-height joinery conceals the washing machine and a pull-out drying rack, with additional storage above and below.

The same timber, stone, tiles and brass finishes continue through, making the laundry feel like an extension of the bathroom rather than a purely utilitarian space.

Small spaces, but a lot of considered detail.

A good bottle of red, good company, and a space that feels like home. This custom wine display at our Yarralumla residence brings all three together, blending seamlessly into the interior while keeping favourite bottles close at hand. Simple, practical, and made for enjoying life’s little moments.

Residence MG8 | By @studiolesarc. There’s something so luxurious about a double walk-in shower.

Rather than simply being a shower enclosure, this space has been given its own architectural presence.

Bronze framed glass doors create a sense of enclosure and intimacy, while still allowing the light, materials and details of the bathroom to flow through. It feels private without feeling closed in. And that marble shower seat…

First blush | By @smac_studio. Breccia Capraia marble and blush pink tones. Divine.

Powder rooms are also the perfect place to have a little fun with colour. If you’re hesitant to embrace colour throughout the rest of your home, this is the place to experiment.

A kitchen designed around the view. For our Malua Bay Beach House, we wanted the kitchen to feel warm, grounded and connected to its coastal setting, without competing with the ocean beyond.

Taj Mahal natural stone brings softness and movement to the space, paired with hardwood blackbutt timber detailing.

Gunmetal fixtures add a subtle contrast, while the restrained palette allows the natural materials, and ocean outlook to take centre stage.

A kitchen designed to feel timeless, functional and completely at home by the sea.

For my Reid clients, the brief was to create a beautiful kitchen that also made family life smoother, mornings calmer and entertaining easier.

My approach to design goes well beyond aesthetics. I obsess over the small, practical details that quietly transform the way a home works and, ultimately, how my clients live in it.

For this kitchen, that meant:

✔️ A custom tea and coffee station for their morning rituals
✔️ A dedicated wine bar and buffet area for effortless entertaining
✔️ Hidden in-drawer charging stations to keep everyday clutter under control
✔️ Pull-out drawers for oils and condiments, positioned right beside the cooktop
✔️ Motion-sensor lighting throughout the pantry and cabinetry
✔️ A generous island without a sink, maximising prep space and keeping the benchtop clear.

None of these details are particularly complicated on their own.

But together, they create a kitchen that feels considered, intuitive and effortless to live with.

Because the best design isn’t always what you notice first. It’s what makes everyday life work better.

The natural stone in our Googong kitchen is the focal point of the space.

Its depth, movement and natural variation bring a sense of character that simply can’t be replicated.

Every vein and subtle shift in tone is unique, giving the kitchen a feeling that is both timeless and entirely its own.

Beautiful, durable and made to be lived with, natural stone is one of those materials that elevates even the simplest everyday moments.

Not every renovation needs to start from scratch. This 1980s Sydney home by @cadenceandco_ has been thoughtfully updated while retaining around 90% of its original fabric.

The original timber ceilings, sandstone, natural stone and the connection to the landscape remain central, while new updates to lighting, glazing, cabinetry and appliances improve the way the home functions today.

A great example of how a thoughtful renovation can preserve character while making a house work harder for the people who live in it.

The ensuite in our Weetangera project was designed around one simple brief: create a space that feels calm, understated and quietly luxurious.

A custom vanity and recessed mirrored cabinets provide generous storage, while concealed power points allow the finishes to remain clean and uninterrupted.

Soft grey concrete-look tiles are layered with Carrara marble kitkat tiles, warm brass fixtures and natural timber to create a palette that feels timeless, balanced and relaxing.

Luxury isn’t about adding more. It’s about carefully considering every detail, so the space feels effortless to live in.

It’s the little things you don’t immediately notice that often make the biggest difference.

This beautiful natural stone tile was one of those materials our client absolutely loved, but we needed to be clever about where it would have the most impact.

Rather than dilute it across the room, we used it where it could really shine: the main vanity wall and vanity benchtop.

Paired with soft grey cabinetry, warm bronze tapware and an oval mirror, it feels intentional rather than excessive.

Sometimes good design isn’t about using less. It’s about knowing where to use the good stuff.

Not every design decision is about adding more. Sometimes it’s about deciding what matters most.

For our Yarralumla Residence, our clients didn’t want an open walk-in robe. Instead, they chose to give that space to the ensuite, allowing for a more generous and luxurious bathroom.

The robe was then designed to run along the main bedroom wall, finished in a warm Blackbutt wood-matt finish and detailed with custom-made handles. Rather than feeling like a compromise, it became an intentional part of the room.

This is where considered design makes a difference. Understanding how a space needs to function, listening to how our clients want to live, and then resolving the details so everything feels cohesive.

We work closely with our architects and builders from the floor plan stage, allowing these decisions to be considered early and carried through to the finished home.
