Designed by Matteo Magnabosco, Casa Mazzini is located in Torino, Italy. This historic apartment renovation prioritizes natural light and organisation. Structured around a sizable kitchen-cum-living room with a chunky corner sofa, the home features decor with Scandinavian touches, such as clean-lined furniture and statement lights. A palette of natural wood, marble, and glass is used throughout, while sage green tiles nod to contemporary trends.
Life Down A Lane, a house in Melbourne’s Richmond neighbourhood designed by Tom Robertson Architects, features a central courtyard. The contemporary family home is surrounded by neighbours, necessitating a design that balances privacy with openness. The living spaces are elevated for increased sunlight, while the interiors contrast monochromatic exteriors with light tones.
Robust external forms open to the courtyard, providing a focal point and ensuring security. Central spaces include a sculpted marble island in the kitchen and a dramatic full-height window for exterior views.
