Coastal Calm Meets Geometric Precision | Loller Street Apartments
Responding to Telha Clarke's rational architecture, Mim Design's interiors for Loller Street Apartments draw on the modernist masters — Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier — embracing a less is more approach where clean lines, natural stone, French oak and tactile wool create a palette of enduring simplicity. Monolithic Taj Mahal stone kitchen islands, bespoke wine cellars and custom stone-tiled fireplaces add quiet luxury to six residences shaped entirely by views, light, flow and texture.

Reflective Philosophy | Leesthorpe, Mosman
Undertaken with the utmost care, the integration of Leesthorpe's history, referencing its origins as a glassmaking estate, manifests through both subtle and considered features.
"The reflective notion of silica and glazing became part of the philosophy," says principal Fanning. Across myriad surfaces, from mirrors, frosted panes and polished plaster walls to brass accents, oak flooring and the kaleidoscopic spectrum of blues and greens on the stained-glass front door, sunlight is muted or maximised; refracted or reflected; dancing off surfaces and into almost every corner of the home.

Saturated Intent | Botanical House
The powder room demanded its own world. Descending to the lower level, a colour-drenched space carved entirely in deep red stone — walls, floor, ceiling held in the same warm, enveloping hue. Where the rest of Botanical House moves between light and restraint, this room commits fully. An unapologetic moment of drama that anchors the heritage 1920s home with something altogether more visceral.
Colour drenching at this scale is a study in material selection, the stone's natural variation and tactile surface prevent the saturation from reading as flat, instead giving the room a depth that shifts with the light throughout the day.

Thank you to our generous suppliers who made this week one to remember!
Stay tuned for Lauren and Charlotte’s recollection of the week in their ‘Objects of Obsession’.
Considered Repose | Kirribilli Residence featured on Vogue Living
The brief was clear — the bedroom should feel no less considered than the living and kitchen beyond it. A spatial reconfiguration brought the room into alignment with the entertaining spaces, opening the full harbour panorama to a room once turned away from it.
Walls of floor-to-ceiling glass dissolve the boundary between interior and outlook, while layered curtains offer the softest mediation between privacy and the theatre of Sydney Harbour Bridge beyond. To wake inside this room is to wake inside the view.
