Located in Melbourne’s Armadale, Huntingtower Road is a boutique apartment complex by Jolson Architecture and Interiors that feels more like a sculptural residence than a multi-home building. Its defining feature is the series of deep arched windows and doors, creating a façade that plays with light and shadow while framing views of greenery. The design carries the same elegance, with expansive living areas, high ceilings, and a restrained material palette. A standout feature is the marble used in both the kitchen and bathrooms—the bold gray-veined stone appears on the island bench as well as on the vanity countertop, tying spaces together with a sense of continuity. The apartments open onto garden courtyards and patios, where the arched architecture merges with landscaping. As vegetation matures and cascades over the façade, the complex will further blend into its leafy setting, offering residents a serene living experience with both architectural presence and softness. ...

Set against the hills of Alicante, Spain, Ramón Esteve Estudio’s Oslo House brings a calm, minimalist take on modern living. Defined by two overlapping concrete volumes that appear like stacked blocks, the home balances bold geometry with the serenity of its Mediterranean setting. The house anchors to the hillside with a stone base that follows the natural slope, while expansive floor slabs include openings for natural light, softening the raw concrete and linking the interiors with the outdoors. Clean white walls, warm wood accents, and marble finishes—from the floating staircase to the floors—add refinement to the crisp architecture. A dramatic infinity pool stretches along the terrace, framing uninterrupted views of the Spanish mountains and coastline. With its pared-down lines and material palette, the residence reflects Esteve’s philosophy of creating spaces where architecture and landscape converge seamlessly.

It may still be officially summer (just), but after months of heat the weather here in the UK has suddenly turned autumnal and I’m starting to look forward to cosy season – that wonderful time of frosty mornings, fireside cuppas, candlelit evenings and crunching over fallen leaves on long woodland walks. With that in mind, I’ve picked out 23 beautiful blankets and throws to keep you warm – and your home looking beautiful – over the chilly autumn and winter months ahead. All have the kind of timeless, pared-back style that will endure for years to come, with a mix of calming neutral colours, earthy nature-inspired hues and, in some cases, checks and stripes that add a subtle hint of pattern. I’ve included a range of price points and sizes, and I’ve also listed what each blanket and throw is made of. There are options woven from snuggly merino and mohair, super-smooth lambswool, laid-back linen, organic cotton and sustainable bamboo, as well as several designs crafted from alpaca w...

Shoreline House by Splyce Design in Victoria, Canada, is a renovation and addition that combine contemporary form with the rugged coastal setting. Instead of demolishing the 1960s structure, the studio retained and reconfigured it, adding a compact single-storey extension designed to minimize ecological impact while embracing sweeping inlet views. The new volume sits lightly on the terrain with recessed concrete walls, giving the impression of hovering above the rocky site. Its roof extends into a sharp, cantilevered point, while the cedar cladding contrasts the original dark shed-roof forms that echo the granite shoreline. A colonnade-lined stairway leads to the entrance, choreographing arrival through rhythm, light, and shadow. Large floor-to-ceiling windows dissolve boundaries between home and landscape, framing shifting ocean reflections throughout the day. Patios and pathways weave seamlessly into the native vegetation, grounding the house in its setting. The project hig...

House 1114 in Bozeman, Montana, by BEDA Architecture , was fully renovated with a new addition.

A single floating wood shelf runs above the countertop, providing functional display space. Brass fixtures, including a standout faucet at the island, add warmth and a refined contrast against the walnut cabinetry and white countertops.

Together, the pergola, wood finishes, and carefully detailed kitchen create a home that balances modern simplicity with inviting texture. Photography by CODY...
