Inside OutJanuary 2016的目錄

Reading, cooking, swimming, repeat. That’s the sum total of my summer holidays planned. The beach might change – perhaps a little tootle down the coast to see my parents and a couple of friends – as will the reading material, but the basic format won’t. For me, that’s the beauty of summer holidays. I don’t tend to plan anything in particular, just letting the long, lazy days roll on and on. What day is it? The only thing I’ve realised I’m missing is a hammock. I’m not normally the hanging type, but after seeing the ideal set-up on page 70 (beware: only turn to it if you’re ready to go a soft shade of coastal-rural green), I’m a convert. Beautiful pool to one side, rolling hills to the other. Sigh.…

‘Monarch’ table DESIGNER: Nathan Goldsworthy of Goldsworthy Studio What do you think about when designing an outdoor table? “The material is certainly the main challenge, but there is a definite visual shift that takes place – it’s surprising how pieces can look out of place when they move outdoors,” says Auckland- based designer Nathan. His ‘Monarch’ table (above) stands as an elegant piece for in-home and in-garden use, but mastering the materials is key to the table’s success. “The legs are made from raw aluminium, going through extruding, folding, hardening and anodising processes, so there’s a lot to manage to ensure each step is undertaken correctly,” says Nathan. And when all these elements come together the ‘Monarch’ certainly has a regal quality. From NZ$1245, goldsworthystudio.com. ‘Picnic’ table DESIGNERS:…

Lisa Koehler is the interior decorator on our renovation specialists Panel (for more on the Panel, turn to page 102). Here, she suggests a dining zone solution. Q Our dining table and floorboards are not the same but not different enough and don’t quite ‘go’ together. A rug would break it up, but we have a two-year-old and cleaning it would be a nightmare. Any suggestions? Ellie Scarf via Facebook The key is a connecting element to link the two tones and to create a focus that will lead your eye to a point of interest – the dining chair is a great option in this case. Adding a white chair will break up the different timber tones. Try the ‘No.18’ chair in White with natural sock detail (right, from…

hook & ledge by Daniel Emma TIME 120 minutes Daniel To and Emma Aiston both trained as industrial designers and founded their design studio Daniel Emma in 2008 in Adelaide, after working in London for, among others, Marc Newson. Their designs are guided by simple geometrical forms and have many references to their native land. They achieved worldwide renown with ‘D.E.’, a collection of attractive desk items. In 2010, they won the Bombay Sapphire Award, Australia’s most important design prize. Following their motto about making things that are “just nice,” this Australian design couple created a ledge that is as plain as possible and yet highly remarkable. As in their prize-winning desk items, they employ exclusively geometric forms. Hook & Ledge consists of a hook module and a small ledge.…

When it comes to thinking about your garden’s boundary, you want a fence that can provide safety without bringing a ‘Fort Knox’ feel.This fence, featuring in a collaborative project between Woods Bagot and Hecker Guthrie, is made up of transparent panels on a rendered concrete base. It forms a sturdy barrier while creating a feature of greenery. The added element of the hedge draws in texture for a vibrant look, too. For more on fencing solutions, turn the page.…

Q+A WITH… Jake Stone Director, Jake Stone Design What do you think a garden should offer? A garden should be whatever you want and require it to be. Whether it’s a quiet place for solitude and reflection or a wonderland in which to watch your children grow, it comes down to individual needs. The pinnacle to any garden, though, is that it draws you to it during your spare time, which is usually offered by creative planting. What are three things to consider in planning a small-space garden? The three basic principles are form, colour and texture. Be careful not to overcomplicate the design. My personal design tip is to divide the space into thirds and work from there. With colour, the use of tones for hardscaping provides the perfect…

Do you view your own home as a way to experiment with your ideas for your job or is it a place to take a break from work? My house has become a little refuge for me. It’s where I experiment with colour, art and textures. Most of the time, it falls on the backburner; but when I can focus on it, I love to attempt things that I can’t necessarily do at a client’s home. I also love my neighbourhood in Boise,…

WALLPAPER Wallpaper has made the mother of all comebacks. The bolder types, such as a jungle print or shibori, can add a burst of flavour to a room, while softer treatments, such as grasscloth, will bring a luxe feel. Choosing the right wallpaper can be a daunting task, but all you need to do is start with the question: “What do I want from my walls?” If you’re after crazy amounts of colour, go for it – just pare back your furniture and decor. If you’re after texture without creating a new focal point, opt for a subtle paper, and spice up the space with striking furniture elements and accessories. There are beautiful options on the market including this ‘Plissé’ design from Wall&decò (left, wallanddeco.com). Wall Candy Wallpaper (wallcandywallpaper.com.au) and…

cheat sheet Who lives here: Isabelle Dubois-Bettan Dumée, owner of French interiors store Les Petites Emplettes (lespetitesemplettes.com); her husband, Hubert; and their three daughters, Augustine, Lilou and Pimprenette; plus their pooch. Style of house: A 12th-century chateau in the west of France. Founder of French interiors store Les Petites Emplettes [Small Store], Isabelle Dubois-Bettan Dumée and her husband, Hubert, had long harboured a dream to leave behind the noise and chaos of their home in the French capital.“Like all good Parisians, we had a hankering for something green,” says Hubert.“We were looking for something not too big; something that we could keep the shell and just reshape a little,” adds Isabelle. The couple were holidaying in the Charente region in the west of France when they stumbled upon this decrepit…

How do you make a small room feel spacious? Of all the interior design conundrums, this is the one most homeowners face. Sure, there are the obvious things to try – bringing in natural light, choosing neutral tones and discovering the space-savvy ways of a few strategically placed mirrors – but it’s how you make all these elements work together that is the key to success. With the help of our Panel interior stylist Lisa Koehler, we’ve uncovered the 10 features you need to consider to bring a spacious feel to a room of petite proportions. 1 flooring Multiple flooring styles serve to define spaces but can also make a small room feel even smaller. “One type of flooring flowing from one area to the next creates an uninterrupted flow,…

Confused about what you can and can’t do? Here’s a quick guide to the basics WALLS You can paint and paper your walls, but for anything else – from cutting holes to mounting your TV or artwork to removing walls altogether – you’ll need permission to ensure you aren’t interfering with noise insulation and the building’s structural integrity. FLOORING Replacing carpets isn’t usually a problem, but check about floorboards as most stratas have strict by-laws to protect your downstairs neighbours from listening to you clomping around in your high heels. KITCHEN AND BATHROOM You’re free to replace kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities. For anything that may cause a leak, such as tiling or changing the location of pipes, you’ll need prior approval. WINDOWS AND DOORS Any ‘boundary’ entrances – such…

Before getting excited about what your fence might look like, you need to understand its purpose. Do you want it to provide privacy? Add street appeal? Limit noise? Keep out the rabbits? This will affect your choice of materials and design. Consider also any restrictions concerning the style and height of the fence that may be applicable in your local area. Some fences may even need a development application – check your local council website for guidelines. And, remember, it’s the first thing your guests will see when they come to your house, so don’t be a skinflint! 1 metal Metal fencing can be a beauty. Traditional Victorian fencing is made from heavy wrought iron that can be rust-prone, but most reproductions are powder-coated steel or aluminium, which offer minimal…

Were you creative as a young kid? Michael: I don’t like to boast but I won a Santa Claus drawing competition when I was five years old, so I’ve always enjoyed drawing with pencils. George: My favourite subject throughout school was visual arts. My Year 12 major artwork won an award and was displayed in the David Jones corner window as part of Artexpress. You’re from Sydney – what inspired your time in London? Michael: London was the perfect place to launch – our first taste of this was at London Design Festival, where we showcased our work at the Tent London design show. George was actually eight months pregnant during all this with our son Frankie, and this was one of our main reasons for returning to Australia. Tell…

FRENCH CLASSICISM VS MID-CENTURY MODERN FRENCH CLASSICISM Manifesto: Marie Antoinette reincarnated as soft furnishings and objets d’art. STRENGTHS: From Chanel to camembert, antipodeans have always been powerless in the face of French style, and it’s no different chez vous . Why? Quite simply, if it looks foreign and expensive, we’ll take one of everything. ACHILLES HEEL: This is a look that could veer into ‘nanna’ territory, combined with a clear and present danger of setting alight your petticoats on the candelabra. Exercise caution on both counts. WEAPON OF CHOICE: Nestled among all that floral frou-frou is a moodiness that hints at a much darker heart to this style. That Parisian attitude wins every time, and doesn’t even care. MID-CENTURY MODERN Manifesto: Forever enjoying the spirit of…

cheat sheet Who lives here: Stay-at-home mum Yvonn; her husband, David, who runs his own technology business; and their daughters Matilda, 4, and Frida, 2. The family have three chickens named Heidi, Lotta and Gretchen. Style of house: A five-bedroom 1970s double-brick home in the hills behind Byron Bay, which has been rendered and covered with cedar cladding. The renovation of the house took two years to complete. Meeting in the Byron Bay post office eight years ago set Yvonn and David on a course that neither of them expected.Yvonn was visiting Australia from Germany and David, who was living in the area at the time, was in town running errands.“We were married two years later,” says Yvonn.“The post office manager who sent our wedding invitations loved the fact that…

Who lives here: Sara and Matthew Bienias, their two-year-old daughter, Emma, and pet fish, OJ. Style of house: A Victorian terrace in the Melbourne inner-city suburb of Brunswick East. Pre-reno, the home was a clumsily arranged maze of bedrooms and living rooms and a no-you-can’t-swing-that-catin-here kitchen. Now, the home is charmingly modern, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an internal courtyard. “It took 12 months to get plans through council, and the demolition and build took a total of 16 months,” says Sara. The budget for the revamp was around $500k. CHANGE OF PACE They say you shouldn’t renovate before you’ve lived in a home for more than 12 months. So, after enduring seven years in this badly designed Victorian terrace, it’s safe to assume Sara and Matthew Bienias knew…

When the Panel visited Taras Misko and Alison Cook, and their children, Saskia, 10, and Rafael, 2, back in October last year, they were mid-way through a renovation of their double-fronted, Federation-style bungalow in Sydney’s inner west. The home’s tiny bathroom was woefully inadequate for the growing family of four. As the only bathroom in the house, Taras and Alison wanted something timeless with great ventilation and a high-quality finish. So what happened next? Here, Taras shares the renovation journey. Panel advice “I suggest going for a wall-mounted sink or pedestal basin to create extra space” – Lisa Koehler, interior decorator. The solution “Lisa was right about the vanity and we took her advice. We wall-mounted the cabinet and the sink. It really does give the space a much bigger…
