Feature Article | Wilson Project by Martin Massé

Boldly coloured, a Haussmannian apartment in Trocadéro is reinstated with vibrant modernist eclecticism for a young, growing family.

Characterised by heritage details throughout the 160-square-metre apartment, with neighbouring views of the Eiffel Tower, architect and designer Martin Massé preserved the original 19th-century features as a backdrop for his canvas. “The apartment is clearly rooted in the Haussmann style, and the goal was not to lose this typically Parisian historical anchor, but neither was it to exaggerate it. The aim was to modernise the style, making it more eclectic by combining contemporary design with the Haussmannian base of the space,” Massé explains.

Feature Article | Harris Residence by Hunt Architecture

Revived with contemporary classicism, a French Eclectic home has had its heritage restored through a curated mix of European design and craftsmanship.

Built in 1938, this interwar home in Austin, Texas, marks a highly romanticised period in American architecture, when returning soldiers built their homes in the French château style. The property, now owned by a young family, engaged Hunt Architecture to undertake an extensive renovation of the spacious 390-square-metre home, spanning two levels. The generous scale of the home accommodates a living room with a bar, a sitting room, an office, a powder room, a kitchen and a dining room on the ground floor. Upstairs, the private living quarters comprise four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including an outdoor terrace adjoining the primary bedroom.

Working within the residence’s original framework, the architects retained its architectural details. “The design for this home respects the historic character and proportions of the architecture while transforming the interior with modern details and rich textures,” Hunt Architecture architect Brittany Hunt explains. “We kept the existing traditional room proportions, original windows, solid wood floors and ornate trim in some areas to balance the more modern details and fixtures,” she adds. To retain its integrity, the architects collaborated with local craftspeople and furniture makers to ensure the home’s quality feels both distinctive and established in its place.

Feature Article | Residence AV by YAMA Architects

Defying design conventions, a Belgian home is moulded from the outside in, adopting a paradoxical approach to inward living.

Faced with the density constraints in the quaint Belgian city of Bruges, the home could not afford to be set back for privacy, prompting YAMA Architects to adopt an inward approach to the design. An inverted design was conceived, with a commodious 400-square-metre floor plan centred on an internal courtyard, shaping the two-storey, two-bedroom home into a pavilion. “By turning inward, it constructs a protected inner world without denying its context. Openings are precise, views are edited, and exposure is always intentional,” YAMA Architects partner and architect Lawrence Schietgat explains.

Feature Article | Glendower by 22RE

Set within an enclave on the Los Feliz hillside in the greater Hollywood neighbourhood, a 1920s Spanish Revival residence blends its heritage fabric with an expansive extension, applied through a worldly lens.

Architect and principal Dean Levin founded Los Angeles-based architectural studio 22RE with an ethos that explores morphology and materiality. The architect has taken his background in art and a multicultural design worldview, to sensitively expand the home’s original 372-square-metre floorplate to a grand 557 square metres.

“Throughout, the architectural vocabulary draws from traditional Mediterranean Spanish influences such as Mallorca, the South of France and Italy, while studying the detailing of early Los Angeles architects such as Theodore J. Scott,” Levin explains.

Feature Article | Fidalga Apartment by Gurgel D’Alfonso

In São Paulo’s bohemian district, a duplex penthouse presents an experimental interplay of contrasts that embodies the neighbourhood’s artistic vernacular.

Set in the community of Vila Madalena, surrounded by bars, restaurants, boutiques, and galleries, Fidalga Apartment is conceived as a family home by architecture studio Gurgel D’Alfonso. The 200-square-metre duplex accommodates the work and lifestyle needs of a couple who are YouTube culinary content creators and their two children. Gurgel D’Alfonso co-founders and architects, Rogério Gurgel and Caio D’Alfonso, reprogrammed the two-storey home to comfortably accommodate three bedrooms, each with an ensuite, a powder room, an office, and three outdoor terraces.

Feature Article | Urban Sea House by Daniel Boddam

A beachside residence takes cues from its natural surroundings to render metropolitan refinement with coastal serenity.

Emerging from Sydney’s Balmoral enclave, Urban Sea House by Daniel Boddam ascends across four tiered levels, optimising its views of the sea at every opportunity. Its monolithic exterior is softened by contrasts, from its sandstone base with the Mediterranean-rendered mid-section, terraced gardens and curved walls. These subtle breaks in form are pronounced through the bronze-aluminium breeze soleil and warm and dark timber cladding, especially in the recessed pavilion above.

Designed for clients living abroad, the architect and founder explains, “I wanted to create a sense of calm and connection to place. Given their frequent international travel, the residence needed to function as a sanctuary—a space that immediately signals arrival home.” To emphasise the home’s vast scale, a suspended ceramic art installation by Kelly Farley under a diffused skylight welcomes guests, while the sand-like veins of travertine and stucco walls guide further into the home.

Feature Article | H House by Nicolas Schuybroek

A Belgian residence explores the concept of heterotopia, combining light and experimental proportions to create an exhibition space to house the owner’s art collection.

A pure current runs through the spaces designed by Belgian architect Nicolas Schuybroek, imbuing his monolithic projects with a sanctum-like quality. Through spatial openness, they command a meditative quietness and stillness to be observed. These same design principles shape Schuybroek’s latest residential project, H House in Antwerp, Belgium.

Set on a perfect 20x20m plot, an experimental process involving handmade models helped unravel the building’s cube form while meeting local Baumeister requirements and respecting the heritage overlay of the neighbourhood’s classical pre-war houses. Supported by a series of discussions between the architect and his client, a collection of references informed the design, including Peter Zumthor’s Bruder Klaus Field Chapel, Luis Barragán’s architecture, and Michel Foucault’s writings on ‘heterotopias’. Schuybroek says, “This guided the ambition to create an atmosphere where geography and time feel suspended.”

Feature Article | Hawthorn House by Cheah Saw Architecture⁠

A multi-generational home challenges the traditional typologies of an inner Melbourne suburb, while operating within the constraints of a narrow lot.⁠
⁠
Working to a brief that called for flexibility in its architectural programme, the clients called for a design that could evolve with their family’s ever-changing needs across three generations. ⁠
⁠
“The plan allows different generations to occupy distinct zones while remaining visually and socially connected, fostering both independence and interconnection,” Cheah Saw Architects co-founding director Eugene Cheah explains.⁠

Feature Article | Davis House by AKI Design

In one of Melbourne’s leafy inner-city suburbs, one period home embraces an experimental addition through the reinterpretation of architectural design codes.

Davis House by AKI Design celebrates the interiors of a Victorian home and intricately links it with a new extension—a progressive design featuring a detachable iron-clad pavilion by Blur Architecture that serves as a new wing to the original home. Drawing on the two architectural eras, the designers crafted a unified language that employs nuanced elements throughout the home, expressed through colour, material forms, and furnishings to create a harmonious flow between the spaces. “Careful material selection and considered detailing were key in softening this connection and ensuring a cohesive, balanced outcome,” AKI Design founder and director Charis James explains.
