A Breathtaking Coastal Home On The Tasmanian Shoreline

The Mays Point House by Tanner Architects is an exercise in robust, yet refined architectural design, amongst incredible natural surrounds. 

By utilising a resilient and muted material palette, alongside a subtle interior scheme, the house allows the incredible South Arm Peninsula environs to take centre stage. This holiday home is an understated and respectful response to its sublime context.

An Inner Suburban Garden With An Enormous Ethereal Lagoon!

This spectacular garden by Sam Cox Landscape looks like it’s straight out of a storybook. It exudes a mythical aura, of secret rockpools buried in rainforests, or a serene fairytale setting. This ambience is probably why it’s hard to believe it’s located in inner suburban Melbourne!

The result of a thoughtful collaboration between client and landscape designer, this Northcote garden weaves new and existing elements together to create a space that transcends time and place. Not to mention one jaw-dropping pool!

Painting The Landscape With ACRE Designs

Last month we featured a stunning contemporary beach house with such spectacular landscape architecture that we thought the people behind it deserved their own post! Meet Acre– a Fitzroy-based firm taking a holistic approach to garden design.

For Acre’s Creative Director Brett Robinson, a childhood spent exploring the beautiful Mornington Peninsula has been an undeniable influence in his (zig-zag) path to landscape architecture. We chat with Brett about his multi-disciplinary approach to landscape architecture in their fifth year of business!

Cassie Hansen

Cassie Hansen took her first beginner’s pottery course just three years ago. For the last seven years Cassie has been the editor of Artichoke, an interior design and architecture magazine, where she still works a few days a week. The rest of her time she spends in her studio in Kyneton, working on refining the style of her elegant, functional vessels.

It’s easy to see the influences she’s absorbed from all those years of covering excellent architecture, elements of which she translates brilliantly to her pieces.

Revisit the original story here.
