The original plans showed cabinetry placement along the pony wall, and Cover Architecture and EEK Studio gave it unique detailing.

The design team restored the cork floors. The island lights are Sven Middleboe for Nordisk and are original to the house. The counters are Ceppo Di Gre Marble and the door to the restored pantry is painted Tarrytown Green by Benjamin Moore, and given a porthole window with reeded glass.

The cabinetry is painted Asian Paints Dense Woods and the overhead light is Kumar. A thick piece of Panda Marble was chosen for the custom table. “The beauty of this marble was that it was a beautiful piece that had a few streaks of green apart from the black and white streaks, which went well with our design and color scheme,” says Wagh.

The shelving repeats the arch treatment.

A deep green suede headboard spans the entire wall to meet the built-in shelving.

Listed for the first time since it was built in 1979, the cliffside home of architect Barry Downs is located in a waterfront area that is at risk of redevelopment.

The home’s modest size meant Caleb did not have to worry too much about material and labor costs. For example, all the interior walls are done in plaster, which is three-to-four times more expensive than drywall in Maine.

Stuart crafted the banquette base using ambrosia maple that he had been saving for a worthy project.

Hiroshi Nakamura & NAP used 87 translucent bricks to reframe a family’s connection to nature and the city.

FMT Estudio gives a stark and dated dwelling a playful renovation that embraces the sunny climate with lush courtyards and a poolside veranda.

Most of the artwork that adorns the walls is also by Mike and Jewlsy. The framed palm fronds above the credenza, for example, are inscribed with the original deeds to Jewlsy's family home in Kerala, India, and are approximately 300 years old.

Milo's room features a stacked series of cupboards and drawers that form a stair to the elevated bed, inviting a sense of playfulness into the space.

In its current position, the credenza is designed to conceal a storage heater. It can be easily reconfigured to meet the needs of a new space, with cleverly positioned joins that allow the interior storage to expand or contract.

The oval form of the dining table is inspired by the hull of a traditional Irish curroch boat, and it features a bowl carved directly in its top surface. The table is made from 366 pieces of CNC machined birch ply. Similarly, the Unfurl chairs are made by layering 26 individual profiles of CNC machined timber to create a form that echoes the shape of the human body.

The sofa and coffee table are crafted from 40mm-thick Douglas fir, which is characterised by its subtle pink tones.
