When professional property flippers Kathleen and Chris Friedrich received a call about a deceased estate that had been left by a chronic hoarder, nothing could have prepared them for what they found inside. 500 bird cages, sewing machines, stadium chairs, caravan windows, school chairs, and an endless supply of steel and timber were just some […]
Luxury developer GURNER has just revealed plans for its impending St Moritz development in Melbourne and if the first-look is anything to go by, it’s set to be rather phenomenal. With an average price point of roughly $3.5 million dollars, the St Kilda project is being designed by architect Fender Katsalidis (together with Koichi Takada […]
Built atop just 173 square metres of land, this North Perth home, affectionately titled ‘The Dollhouse 2.0’ is proof that bigger isn’t always better. The home’s owners and architects Jakub and Laura Chruscinski decided to eschew the wide open spaces of more far-flung suburbs and stay living in the city when looking to expand their […]
After Youla Saff had finished styling her two daughters’ rooms, she decided to pursue the painstaking task of recreating them in miniature in what resulted in one of the most amazing dollhouses we’ve ever seen. From the tiny replica furniture to the amazing finishes (Youla even stained the timber floors!) you can’t help but be […]
Mel Sebastian has always dabbled in art, and was busy running her own art studio – that was until 3.5 years ago, when she witnessed her stepfather building a doll house for his granddaughter. His creation inspired her to create her first miniature room – and she has been creating ever since. Rather than building full […]
It was after the arrival of her daughter Holly, and the onset of a serious bout of postnatal anxiety and depression, that Stephanie Wallace started working on decorating a dollhouse – a therapeutic outlet that has now become a successful business called Mostly Miniature. “Like for so many of us mums, having my first child changed […]
From miniature bentwood chairs to potted fiddle leaf figs, designer fridges and even abstract art, today’s dollhouse is certainly a much more chic affair than its retro cousin. Gone are the twee furniture and accessories of old and in their place is a collection of on-trend wares, many of which we wish we had in […]
Qubis Haus is a dual purpose coffee table/dolls house. Could this solve the problem of clearing toys OFF the coffee table because they’re already IN it?! The coffee table transforms into a dolls house with the simple addition of sliding panels made from wood and perspex, enabling the ‘designer’ to create different room layouts. Designer […]
After 10 busy years building and running a multi-disciplinary design studio, working on over 400 client projects and amassing an Instagram following in excess of 260k, The Designory director Melissa Bonney was a little burnt out and looking for a career pivot. “We’ve done so many beautiful client projects but I felt like it was […]
I don’t know about you but sometimes there’s nothing better than making a cup of tea, hitting the couch and downloading a bit of house porn. And today’s two-storey Melbourne penthouse certainly fits that bill – priced at a cool $9 million, the home is totally unattainable (for most!) but just so enjoyable to tour. […]
As this opulent, David Hicks-designed penthouse is launching to the local and international market in South Melbourne, we couldn’t resist sharing a little glimpse into how the other half lives! Featuring 360-degree views of the city, Albert Park Lake, and Port Phillip Bay, this breathtaking apartment is located in the exclusive 74 Eastern Road building […]
Part of a new $170m boutique Sydney development, this penthouse hit our inbox recently and we felt it too good not to share; SJB and Mathieson Architects’ work on the project is almost as spectacular as its awe-inspiring views. Located at Kurraba Point, on Sydney’s Lower North Shore, the residence is really something else. “The […]
With the environment and energy use top of mind for many Australians, we’ve seen many sustainable design and building practices emerge; the latest of which is the ‘passive house.’ Originating in Germany in 1990, the Passive House standard is a leading international low-energy design standard that is a scientifically proven, cost-effective way to improve indoor […]
After some Covid filming setbacks, The Block returns this Sunday for the 16th time. This season will take us on a new journey, from the beginning of the 20th century up to the dawning of the rock ’n roll era. Five period homes from the 1910s, 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s, all in a dire […]
Housing affordability remains a hot button issue in Australia and our response to it is becoming increasingly creative. There’s the growth in apartment living, the rise in multi-generational homes, chic granny flats and, arguably the most newsworthy, the tiny house trend. In fact, one Blue Mountains tiny house example had been viewed over 27 million times on YouTube […]
Having recently taken the plunge and had our sixties red brick house painted grey (Haymes Paint Rockslide if you’re interested!), I’m a bigger fan than ever of the transformative effect this can have on a dated home for a relatively small spend. I mean, you’re still talking thousands, especially if you have it done professionally (which we […]
When you find a dream property to purchase within your budget it can be happy days indeed. Once that offer is accepted though, you may not be aware of additional expenses when buying a house. The upfront costs can vary depending on where you live in Australia and the conditions of your loan and size […]
