Bathroom

A porch at the bottom floor level serves as a rest space, play area, and work spot when Hale pulls out his tools. The horizontal window above connects the first floor to the deck so Hale and Edmonds can keep a watchful eye on the girls when they play outside.

The bathroom features a Duravit sink that was incorrectly ordered for a job by the contractor and then donated to Hale. The stools are from Ikea, the tub was salvaged, and the tiles were surplus from another project.

A floor-to-ceiling window wall in the shower blurs the line between the interior and the outdoors.

A poured-in-place concrete sink and a wall-hung toilet offer a note of luxury in the bathroom.

In the kitchen, designers Alfie Koetter and Luke Studebaker worked with woodworker Aaron Hauser of Mason Haus to create custom new millwork inspired by the look and feel of the original cabinetry. Hauser sourced sequence matched natural birch that was rotary cut to create the cabinets.

Hand-crafted character oak joinery lines two of the walls in the primary bedroom. Bi-folding doors connect to the large en suite bathroom, where a free-standing tub awaits.

Space upstairs was tight but Money managed to fit in an ensuite with a small wall-mounted sink and another sensor-operated sky light.

Chester and Chloe spent weeks plotted the joinery design with Money and their carpenter to ensure everything fitted seamlessly, including this nifty hidden laundry under the stairs. Even the tiny cupboard at the bottom of the staircase isn't wasted: it's a built-in laundry basket!

The cottage's former bedroom is now the bathroom, which even manages to squeeze in a tub! A sky light with a sensor that responds to internal moisture levels floods the space with natural light, as well as the two high windows that feed in light from the internal courtyard.

Upon his first visit to Tasmania, an island south of the Australian mainland, resident David Burns was immediately smitten with its varied, pristine landscape. Working with architecture firm Misho+Associates, he built a self-sustaining, 818-square-foot retreat that would allow him to completely unplug from urban life.

In the kitchen, a single Sektion wardrobe from IKEA is used to stow both clothing and various food and dining items. Throughout the apartment, Krajewski replaced the time-worn flooring, installing new white oak planks by Hull Forest with a buffed oil finish by Waterlox.
