THE BUZZY CHARM OF THIS TOWN and the snowy, silent landscape cast its spell on Laura Gasparini, her husband Maurizio and their son Rocco, who were keen to create their own home among the magical white landscape. As avid skiers the family had regularly frequented the slopes during ski season, and decided to put down some roots in the area. “We wanted a house to be in a central position in Cortina, Italy, but, at the same time, far from noise and chaos,” Laura explains. “We were looking for a bright space, where each window is like a picture with a special view.” As an architect, Laura was keen to start from scratch and create her dream home through a rebuild. “With total freedom on how to reinvent the house…

THERE’S NO DOUBT the main function of joinery is to provide somewhere to stash your stuff, but if done thoughtfully, it can become a beautiful visual detail, too. Nowadays, more than ever, it is important as most of us are living within smaller footprints with a greater need to optimise the space we have. Particularly for urbanites, long gone are the luxuries of large garages, attic spaces and a shed out the back where you can store all your belongings. To house – and sometimes conceal – all those essential items, what you need is good joinery. THIS PANTRY HAS THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF OPEN SHELVING, CONCEALED STORAGE AND AMPLE BENCHSPACE THE FINISHES ARE HIGH-SPEC IN WHITEPAINTED AMERICAN OAK WITH A CONCRETE-LOOK CAESARSTONE BENCTOP THE RIGHT JOINERY FOR YOU Consider…

IT’S THE BLACKS – SOMETIMES GLOSSY, SOMETIMES MATTE – against white, the minimal edit of furniture and the array of greys that leave no doubt this apartment is home to a stylish creature of the “fash pack”. Ingeborg Wolf is indeed a fashion stylist and her Copenhagen apartment, funnily enough, was formerly a clothing showroom she had often visited. The busy lady-about-town says the apartment’s location makes it easy for her to “get around to my jobs and to the tailor and pick up the clothes I am using for my assignments”. It also works a treat for her partner Claus, another creatively minded person who owns an interiors store nearby. While the open space worked beautifully as a showroom, it needed breaking up into purpose-allocated areas to help it…

Flat out As this hallway shows, the new wave of elegant greys call for a matte-finish paint. “Matte paint helps soften the feel of grey interiors creating a more organic look,” says Haymes Colour and Concept Manager, Wendy Rennie. Turn the page for our complete guide. IT’S A BRAVE LADY that embarks upon the project of decorating her family home in a palette of greys. The difference between grey walls going terribly wrong or oh-so right is the difference between feeling like you live in a jail cell or an expensive cashmere blanket. This is what makes interior designer Margo Siméone’s home a textbook study in grey done well – the rooms feel like a warm nest, an affectionate hug for those who live within them. Choosing a grey paint…

( SOCKS ) ( BONSAI TREE ) ( CUTLERY ) ( COOK BOOKS ) NEW column FOLLOWING HISTORICAL CONVENTION, I like to divide the time Mr Gee and I have lived in our apartment into two parts: B.C. and A.D. – Badly Cluttered and After Decluttering. The B.C. era began with the two of us piling the entire contents of the rooms we had each occupied in our parental homes into a wheezing hatchback. We crossed Sydney to our new rat trap-sized apartment, added the tasteful booty of our wedding registry to our motley collection of possessions, and proceeded to pursue domestic bliss through the accumulation of enough cookbooks to ensure a lifetime of rapturous gluttony. The A.D. period began at the four-year mark when I discovered the Japanese goddess of…
