Let’s go outside I find being in the garden so relaxing. When I was a child, I used to love pressing flowers and making “perfume” from jasmine, freshly picked from the vine. As a young adult, I took such pride in planting pots of herbs on the balcony of my first home. These days, I love nothing more than whiling away the hours, secateurs in hand, clipping and pruning. But I’m definitely a novice embarking on my gardening journey. A couple of years ago, I had a rather invasive tree removed from my garden and replaced it with a saucer magnolia. I like that it won’t grow too big as I live in a terrace, and being deciduous it’s perfect for its northern position in the garden – shade in…

Michael Kilkeary has been intrigued by space, form and light for as long as he can remember. Naturally, this led him to study architecture and interior design, a career that’s seen him work across residential design and boutique offices. Now, he brings his wealth of knowledge to Cadence & Co as one of the principal designers. “My contribution to the development of the Cadence & Co design practice and the team that we have built is my proudest professional achievement,” says Michael. “We’ve developed a practice with a very diverse project range and a design approach that focuses on spaces to be lived in by our clients. I’m very proud of what our team has achieved in a short time.” Shown here is lifestyle property Charlotte Park, just one of…

Sometimes, starting from scratch is the best way to achieve what you have in mind. This is what former professional ice-hockey player David Jones and his wife Kimberly decided to do when they couldn’t find the ideal property in Vancouver, Canada, for themselves and their three children, Ronan, 10, Greta, seven, and Hugh, five – plus their dog Leonard. “We sought a level of privacy, and our home backs onto a green belt, which offers a peaceful, quiet backyard and overlooks a stream and large cedar trees,” explains David of this custom-built, three-storey house, which is spread over 570 square metres. “In designing it, we hoped for a timeless yet approachable feel. I think that was achieved.” The home lies at the bottom of the North Shore Mountains, which overlook…

For Monica and husband Joe, the highlight of 2020 was set to be an idyllic month-long holiday taking in the sights and delicacies of Italy, villa hopping with friends, before cruising down the central Adriatic coast to Croatia. But like many people’s plans over the past few years, Covid threw a spanner in the works and the trip was cancelled. With time on their hands at home, the couple instead decided to redirect their travel budget into renovating their 1930s worker’s cottage. Charmed by its character and leafy location not far from Brisbane’s CBD, the couple had bought their heritage home 12 years earlier and not long after sought to maximise its modest footprint by building-in underneath, to add three bedrooms, a bathroom and extra living area. Yet over the…

For decades, the same style has dominated the world of window furnishings. Neutrals swept the scene and never left, causing most people to choose white, grey or beige dressings without a second thought. But the tide has turned, with a wave of bright selections hitting stores. These pieces are a statement on their own, proving that window furnishings shouldn’t just be an afterthought – they can piece your entire room together, whether you opt for a complementary or contrasting look, bold patterns or natural textures. And with such a wide variety of customisable products on the market, there’s something for every style. We spoke to Amelia Taylor, head of product and marketing at Wynstan, to weigh in on the trends she’s seen. “In earthy, minimalist style homes we see a…

It’s always a juggle to balance beauty with practicality – especially when it comes to creating the perfect outdoor space for a young family. However, this garden, located in Concord, in Sydney’s inner west, manages the challenge with aplomb, delivering a new and elegant poolside area to a newly renovated family home. Landscape designer and horticulturalist Lyndall Keating of Garden Society worked with owners Frank and Anna to create a classic entertaining space using a subdued colour palette of green and white. “The house had just gone through extensive renovations,” explains Lyndall. “We had previously completed the front garden, and then the owners put in a pool as part of the renovation, so we returned to complete the poolscape and the surrounding back garden.” The creation of a functioning entertaining…

At a glance Who: Jason Fitzgerald, sculptor. What he does: Creates ceramics inspired by nature and industry. Jason sees art-making as a challenging puzzle. His works explore human fragility and imperfection. Where: Brisbane, Qld. Why he does it: “I see my artworks as self-portraits. They’re reflections of me. And everyone. It’s about the beauty of ‘brokenness’.” Visit: jasonfitzgeraldart.com; janmurphygallery.com.au. For Brisbane sculptor Jason Fitzgerald, nature and the universe are endless sources of inspiration. A beehive, an ocean tide or an astronomical helix are all worthy of artistic exploration. Their organic structures and rhythms are governed by both minutia and vastness – of rigid order and entrancing chaos. It’s through this prism of natural existence that Jason finds the tangible and reinterprets it through art. But his works are also deeply personal and focus on self-discovery and…

When designer and interior stylist Dominee and her builder husband Ben built their new home on the Gold Coast, it wasn’t their first rodeo. In fact this is the ninth time that the couple, who tackled their first house when they were just 19, have built a place for themselves and their daughters, Macey, 10, and eight-year-old Willow. Frequent movers the family may be, but they weren’t even contemplating calling the removalists when someone knocked on the door of their previous property and asked if they’d consider selling. Serendipitously, a block in the same street but set at a higher elevation – delivering spectacular 180-degree views of the coast – became available, and the decision was made. “It’s quite rare to get this type of view here,” explains Dominee. “We…

Imbued with a sense of peace and connection to the outdoors going far beyond the notion of a bifold door, this beautiful home close to bushland in an outer suburb of Melbourne has nature right on its doorstep… and inside its warm and inviting interiors. It’s no surprise that homeowner Hamish runs building company Sanctum Homes, celebrated for its sustainable practices and specialising in beautiful, “high-performing” and energy efficient homes, and his wife, Lucinda, is an ecologist and landscape designer. “We wanted to utilise as much of the 800-square-metre block as possible,” says Hamish. The family, including sons Darcy, five, and Phoenix, 19 months, relish their home among Japanese maples and cherry trees. “We collect eggs from the chooks, pick raspberries and bake potatoes in the fire pit at the…

A Hamptons lifestyle is all about enjoying the outdoors – it’s what sets a Hamptons home apart. From the moment you open the French doors to a sprawling emerald-coloured lawn with a flourish of…

Whether building from scratch or embarking on a complete kitchen renovation, there’s myriad decisions to make and one of the biggest is selecting major appliances. Relied upon daily, big-ticket items such as the fridge, freezer, oven, rangehood and dishwasher are integral to your room’s functionality and feel. Charlotte Riggs, design director at Bondi Kitchens & Joinery, recommends taking the time to explore your options and asking the necessary questions. “Will the appliances be a statement or seamless?” she queries. “Do you want to stick with one brand or will mixing and matching from a range of brands better meet your needs?” It’s enough to make your head spin, so before you hit the shops, here are some tips to help make up your mind. “WHETHER YOUR style IS ALIGNED WITH…

The last time I visited Tassie, I thought I’d done it all. I braved the windy tops of Mount Wellington, ate my way around Hobart and stopped at the many wineries on the way to Freycinet Peninsula, then on to Cradle Mountain where my fiancé lost a chunk of flesh when a seemingly friendly wombat took on a more menacing persona up close. We drove around the whole island, maybe skipping a town or two, but we felt we’d seen it all. Ten years later, on my recent second trip to the island state, I realised how wrong we were. In fact, we’d missed out the whole coastline of North West Tasmania, where world-heritage wilderness meets unspoilt beaches and the Bass Strait beyond. It is said that here you are…

As Hobart’s most exquisite example of Arts and Crafts architecture, this prized century-old home in Tasmania’s capital warrants the landscaping to match. Ten years ago, landscape designer Myles Baldwin and his team were approached to transform the grounds, which had fallen into disrepair. The damaged front gates, collapsed earth embankments and unsightly bitumen parking bays were a far cry from the lush, immersive idyll seen today. “The landscape brief was to create the best version of a garden for this style of home – romantic and unique – with a diverse array of plant material,” says Myles. “To ensure it felt like it had always belonged, we did extensive research on the heritage of the house.” The grounds are a textbook expression of traditional Arts and Crafts style, with elegant…
