Designed by Aleksa Studio for textile and accessories designer Carolina Wong, Pattern House aims to reinterpret the notion of the Victorian home by bringing in a palette of rich materials, textures, geometries and shades of colour.
Situated on a narrow lot in a midtown Toronto neighbourhood, Skygarden House provides outdoor living spaces on multiple levels to address the owners’ desire for a better connection to the home’s natural surroundings. The owners used to spend their weekends at their country home, located next to a stream and nestled amongst the trees, so they wanted their new home in the city to mimic this bucolic experience in an urban environment.
In the Atlantic island of São Miguel, in the Azores, an old stable from the beginning of the 20th century was converted into Pink House – two guesthouses where history and contemporaneity coexist in balance.
Featuring the Turkel Design signature post-and-beam construction and an open great room breezing out to a private courtyard, the 2,110-square-foot Axiom Desert House draws from the lifestyle and culture of Palm Springs — seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living while incorporating sustainable and energy-efficient products and systems throughout.
Set on a startlingly beautiful elevation on this sprawling Breakneck Gorge property, not far outside the tourist hotspot of Hepburn Springs (Australia), Oikos Retreat was designed as an indulgent retreat from the city.
Evoking the red centre of this great southern land, it’s a sculptural creation that both complements and disappears into the rugged, precipices on which it perches. Inside, smartly designed spaces are, from every angle, framed by stunning picture windows peeking out onto gum trees. From the sleek soaking bath to the cowhide daybed, every aspect of Oikos is conceived as a peaceful surrender.
