Design lovers, avert your gaze lest you be forever mesmerised by the glorious Ralphs Bay and kunanyi/Mt Wellington. Taking in these incredible views is Open Creative Studio's Thinking Paddock House. An absolute stunner of a home, it's designed so perfectly, it integrates beautifully into the landscape, whilst honouring the farming context of the site. A timber-lover's dream, the house is warm, and beautiful, and inviting, and let's be honest, where we'd rather be.

Classic in the front, contemporary in the back. Winton house by Molecule Studio was a two part project; a carefully renovated and restored 1890's Victorian Era front, with a spicy new, two-storey extension at the rear. It's a home that celebrates the past, and integrates it into the present, with its generously high ceilings, a softly toned material palette, and grand proportions in various living spaces throughout the home.

Myth: Townhouses have become bland, tacky and more boring than a dial up internet connection. Truth: The architecturally-considered townhouses of today are a design dream. Case in point: The Bentleigh East Townhouses by Studio Martin. It's all about that attention to detail, and these homes have plenty to show. Sharp angular staircases, oversized door handles, gridded tiles - they all work together to create a visual consistency and gentle flow throughout.
