Plantasia unfolds as a cinematic holiday house in Australia, conceived by YSG Studio for a young family seeking escape from city routine. The fictional retreat turns a cavernous 1990s mock-Colonial shell into a lush interior journey, where cork floors, wallpapers and surreal colour drench every corner. Each room carries its own mood, inviting children and adults to wander, linger and discover small scenes threaded through the home.
Kilmory House sets a dramatic scene inside a 1913 Arts and Crafts estate in Sydney, Australia, where designer Jillian Dinkel crafts an apartment devoted solely to entertaining.

Banool House opens to the sea from a modest clifftop plot in Fairhaven on Victoria’s Surf Coast, Australia.

Iron Chef sits in Australia, a new house by Das Studio calibrated for a family of makers.

Summersault House sets a clear rhythm in Sydney, Australia, where James Garvan Architecture reshapes a family house around light, circulation, and everyday rituals.

The sequence leans on a tall atrium, polycarbonate cladding, and clean white interiors that move easily between garden and room.
Gul Melbourne is a house in Melbourne, Australia, designed by Nico van der Meulen Architects in 2023.
