Innholdsfortegnelse for October 2023 i Inside Out

It’s been a good year for beautiful buildings Every year, when the entries start arriving for our Home Of The Year Awards, we put aside the usual business of making magazines and immerse ourselves in some of the best Australian homes built in the year leading up to it. Our award categories were conceived to meet what our audience is searching for when planning a brand-new build or renovation, thinking about where to include sustainable elements, choosing materials and finding inspiration for new interiors directions. So, this year, it felt right to include a new category that reflects what our audience wants – outdoor rooms. Our criteria for these awards is to celebrate projects that embody the idea of ‘home’, highlighting sensitive design and the ability to create emotional spaces.…

Colour is back. Homeowners are farewelling the beiges and entering an era of rich shades and vibrant designs. And what better way to incorporate it quickly, and even dramatically if that’s your thing, than with a swathe of wallpaper? Interior designer Loretta Lovecek of Sydney’s Sequence Studio says her clients are becoming braver with colour, moving beyond whites and into strong shades and statement design elements. “We are starting to see an increase in people who want to live in homes that represent them,” she explains. “A lot of our clients say, ‘I’m not here to sell my house.’ They’re not worried about resale; they want their personality in it. I think it’s connected to Covid – with people being at home and wanting their own spaces.” And, she adds,…

Authenticity is everything in Sally Obermeder’s world. Her supplement brand, SWIISH, founded with her sister, Maha, aims to support customers to live their best and healthiest lives. So, Sally was keen to take a deep dive with interior decorator Claudia Lambert to find a style that best reflected the life she shares with husband Marcus and their two daughters: Annabelle, 11, and Elyssa, six. The family had recently moved into a new home in Sydney. Though already equipped with timber flooring and white walls, it needed a fresh take on the furniture, art and accessories. “I was afraid to buy beautiful pieces when the girls were younger in case they got ruined,” says Sally. “They’re older now, this space is bigger, and I was excited for a fresh start.” And…

Location Tallebudgera Valley on the Gold Coast in Queensland, on land traditionally owned by the Kombumerri people. Building work began in 2020 and the home was finished 10 months later in early 2021. When Dahna and Ryan Woods checked out a unique block of land bordering a creek flanked by trees in Tallebudgera Valley “just out of interest”, it prompted a big shift. At the time, the couple had just renovated a beautiful home in nearby Burleigh on the edge of Queensland’s Gold Coast and were in no rush to move with their sons, Taylor and Ashton. But after seeing the one-and-a-half-hectare…

With a large swimming pool at the top of their wishlist, the owners of this Sydney home asked for a garden that felt both classic and a little bit exotic. Mitchell Turner of Goodmanors and his team worked with two huge existing trees, adding layers of lush planting at ground level and reconfiguring the lawn and paved dining area to be more usable. Not surprisingly, the beautifully private outdoor zone proved to be just the escape the family needed during lockdowns, too. Turn the page for more details.…

cheat sheet Who lives here Geneva and Martyn with sons Quentin, six, and Max, four. Style of home A two-storey 1960s home renovated with a focus on contemporary functionality and scene-stealing natural materials. Location Sydney’s Northern Beaches, traditional land of the Garigal people. After several months of design development and planning, works began onsite in April 2022 and were completed by January 2023. For all concerned, this was anything but a typical renovation. Not least because the clients found themselves thousands of kilometres away from their onsite design and build team for almost the entire duration. Yet, ultimately, it was a project that unveiled the most spectacular of results for homeowners Geneva and Martyn. Living in Hong Kong with their two young sons when the pandemic took hold and Australia…

Here’s the puzzle: two large camphor laurel trees, a number of mature golden cane palms, a sloping lawn, a too-small entertaining area, and a busy family with four kids. Homeowner Courtenay and her husband had moved in over a decade ago with two small children, but their family had expanded and they wanted to spend more time at home. A pool was at the top of their list, along with improving the usability of the garden to allow for more friends and fun. Enter Mitchell Turner, design manager at garden design and installation company Goodmanors. His first challenge: a family-sized pool. “The existing camphor laurel trees towered over the garden and drove some of the design direction, as we had to work around them,” he explains. Ensuring that excavation was…
