This Newtown townhouse exudes modern luxury through thoughtful material selections and quality craftsmanship. European oak flooring features throughout the open plan living and dining area, creating an instant sense of warmth as you step foot through the door.

A soft, neutral palette of greys, terracotta, and brushed nickel is present in the finishes, with terracotta shining in the kitchen and wet areas. The large format porcelain tile features irregular terracotta-look battens, creating an organic and textural element to these spaces. A minimalist approach to the tapware selection sees progressive mixers as the hero, achieving a sleek look throughout.

A modern interpretation of Mediterranean style, La Casa Curvilínea is formed by exquisitely crafted curves, organic materials, and a buttery-warm colour palette. Flooded with natural light, the home embraces a minimalist aesthetic, yet draws you in to feel its warmth as you flow through each thoughtfully designed space.

Travertine-look tiles feature on the ensuite floor, complementing the textured Venetian plaster walls. While antique brass tapware adds a deep, organic feel to each space it features in. Perhaps the most striking element of this home is the curved pool and interlinked spa. Enveloped completely in a milky travertine-like mosaic, the curves of the pool are enhanced, creating an inherently serene ambience.

With clean lines and a material palette that celebrates the beauty of mid-century design, this Geelong West home has it all. The open-plan kitchen and living area is split with two floor coverings - black slate and engineered timber flooring - creating a striking break between the areas. Textured, and tactile, the black slate has been treated with an enhancing sealer to bring out its natural variation.

The bathrooms take on similar colour palettes, each championing a different colour synonymous with mid-century design. One is clad in terracotta tiles and a matching vanity, while the other is slightly more pared back with terrazzo floors and a moss green feature wall.

Light, bright, and beautiful, this Ocean Grove beauty embraces curves and soft tonal hues throughout. The internal material palette of warm whites, timber, and antique brass tapware brings a contemporary touch to this coastal home.

With its 6-metre-high ceiling void and warm coastal palette, this 4-bedroom Mount Duneed home is grandeur personified. Handmade-look tiles in the kitchen add an organic element to the space, while microcement covers the walls in the wet areas to create a seamless, grout-free look. These elements, along with the light-filled interior, create an instant sense of calm and tranquillity as soon as you step foot inside.

This Ocean Grove home is a tonal masterpiece. With beautiful external timber detailing and an earthy internal colour palette, this home pays homage to its native bush setting. Soft curves, textures, and organic finishes can be found throughout the home to create a warm and inviting ambience.

With its charred timber-clad exterior and formed concrete interior, this Ocean Grove home defies the stereotypes of coastal design. These heavy, industrial-like features akin to inner-city homes are paired back with soft elements like Moroccan handmade tiles and brushed rose gold tapware, creating a beautiful juxtaposition. Furthermore, using the same tile on the floors and walls of the wet areas creates an instant sense of luxury.

Drawing inspiration from Palm Springs-like architecture, Samphire House is a modern take on a coastal residence. Featuring tiles in a variety of light greens and grey tones, this home makes the most of natural light streaming through variously placed windows. The bright kitchen and bathroom spaces balance smooth curves and textured mosaics to give depth to each room. Use of raw brushed brass tapware gives a subtle touch of warmth to contrast the other cool toned features throughout. Samphire House’s bright spaces continue outside, featuring a poolside outdoor shower off the white weatherboard exterior, creating the perfect relaxing environment.
