Gavin Dale is a registered building designer of works primarily focused within the rural landscape of western New South Wales. Origami House looks at the core idea of the iconic Australian rural shed in an exposed environment. Open spaces that contain the necessary activities of daily life that can be easily manipulated to provide for large family gatherings or quieter spaces of reflection. The residence sets out primarily to achieve the expectations of the clients and reinforce the rural context of corrugated iron and raw and robust building materials. Two rectangular ‘tubes’ were aligned to the North then slid apart. This provided for unobstructed views combined with effective cross ventilation. The gabled roof line folds along a branched ridge, which in turn creates a vanishing point for the internal timber lined ceilings. The simple palette of grey metal, Barestone and radial sawn timber blends with the subdued basalt geology and agricultural landscape. This robust exterior is warmed internally by local crushed granite rammed earth thermal mass spline walls. These walls separate bedroom and living spaces that reach out beyond the façade to integrate with the landscaping and provide the robust shelter and protection from the elements.

There is nothing more timeless than a white transitional kitchen and this gleaming example is proof! Our clients started with a builder grade kitchen that was dark and dated for their taste. We installed new flooring throughout the main floor to reinforce the lighter colour palette they craved. The new cabinetry with double stacked uppers highlights their 9’ ceilings, and a grand island provides ample counter space. The previous layout included an unused “eat-in” area which we incorporated into the kitchen by extending the island and using the wall space to include a bar area and beautifully lit display cabinets. Brushed nickel hardware with touches of gold in the faucet and eye-catching lantern chandeliers bring warmth to the space. Our clients can’t wait to gather friends and family around the island in their new showstopping kitchen!

This dining space by James McNeal Architecture & Design (JMAD) blends modern architectural structure with curated interior styling, creating a warm and expressive gathering area. A dramatic vaulted ceiling with exposed wood beams draws the eye upward, while a central limestone fireplace anchors both the dining and living spaces. Sculptural lighting adds a contemporary focal point, complementing bold artwork and rich textures like velvet seating and patterned rugs. Expansive steel-framed windows bring in natural light, reinforcing the connection between open-concept living and the surrounding landscape—perfect inspiration for a layered, design-forward dining room.

Part of the second story addition in a total house transformation, this luxurious primary ensuite is a dreamy spot for soaking the stresses of the day away. The space is rich with traditional features such as the timeless clawfoot soaking tub, beautiful walnut vanity with Quartzite countertop, and parquet floor tile. A wet room style shower with single glass wall divider maintains the open and airy layout. Warm white walls and handmade-style wall tiles are a calming backdrop framing out the stunning views from the windows. The soaking tub, centered beneath the windows, gives the feeling of bathing among the treetops, inviting the beauty of nature into the room. Classic polished nickel fixtures, hardware, and accessories reinforce the traditional aesthetic and add a little touch of glam. A built-in linen cabinet for storage, a private water closet, and in-floor heating are practical features that elevate the design without being seen. A lovely retreat!

This modern kitchen in Leeds was designed to combine innovative layout planning with a rich mix of materials, resulting in a space that feels both striking and highly functional. The cabinetry is from the X-Line range, finished in a combination of Fluted Walnut Veneer and Artstone Laminate, creating depth and visual interest throughout the space. Wall units in fluted walnut reinforce this texture, adding a distinctive architectural element. Worktops are in 24mm Corian, offering a smooth, seamless surface that complements the kitchen's clean lines while providing durability for everyday use. Feature elements include a bespoke pantry, designed to maximise storage while keeping the layout streamlined, and a matt mirror splashback that softly reflects light, enhancing the sense of space without overpowering the design. Appliances are by Siemens, paired with a BORA hob that integrates extraction directly into the cooking surface, maintaining the uncluttered aesthetic and improving functionality. The result is a kitchen that brings together a variety of materials and finishes in a considered way, delivering both visual impact and practical performance for modern living.

Noce Brown Travertine carries a depth of warm ochre and umber tonality that intensifies under a honed, partially filled surface — a finish that balances tactile authenticity with the clean geometric discipline this 36-inch rectangular vessel sink demands. Milled from a single monolithic block, the basin integrates a precision-sloped fluted drainboard in one continuous plane, eliminating joints and reinforcing the visual weight that defines large-format natural stone vessel sinks at this scale. The result is a functional architectural object — dimensionally resolved, materially uncompromising — designed for pairing with wall-mount faucets in spaces where surface and structure are held to the same standard. Configured with zero faucet holes for wall-mount or counter-mount installations.

A generously scaled pre-war living room restored and reinterpreted with a full-height raised panel molding system painted in a soft warm white, running continuously across all four elevations and lending the room a quiet architectural grandeur. Herringbone oak flooring — a consistent thread throughout the residence — grounds the space, while a sculptural organic-form pendant anchors the ceiling without competing with the molding. A low cream sectional and a solid marble block coffee table furnish the room with restraint. An arched opening at the far end frames an axial view through the apartment, reinforcing the pre-war enfilade layout the renovation was designed around.
