Modern Melbourne Home

Robson Rak Architects is fast becoming another Australian architecture firm that I am regularly admiring (see this previous post of another stunning Melbourne house they worked on).
This time, they collaborated on this residential renovation and extension with interior designer, Susie Cohen of Made by Cohen. This modern home is in the line up for Houses Award 2014 and was in the Residential Design short list for Australian Interior Design Awards 2014. It is not hard to see why. Read and see more here.

Modernist Beach Home

We have been having lovely, sunny and calm Wellington weather at the start of our winter season, so it doesn't feel so bad to share this modernist beach home from Sydney, rather than a cosy cabin today. It's no surprise that this home is so stylish as it is the home of interior stylist and buyer, Karen Kelly Tarasin and her family - and it has made the cover of the latest Inside Out magazine. I like the warmth of the timber, vintage Danish furniture and shots of blue throughout. Read more here.

A Beautifully Restored Sydney Home

Recently featured in the latest Vogue Living magazine is this beautifully restored late-Victorian terrace home in Sydney. A collaborative effort between interior designers, Juliette Arent and Sarah-Jane Pyke of Arent & Pyke and architect, Tom Ferguson of TFAD, who worked together to make the most of the wide frontage and high ceilings that this former boarding house had to offer.
The house has been beautifully composed with a mix of modern and vintage pieces used throughout, as well as a rich palette of colours and textures. This property has made the shortlist for the 2014 Australian Interior Design Awards for both the Residential Design and Residential Decoration sections.
