CELEBRATING SIXTY • ISSUE 60 PLAYLIST

LINGER LONGER • Deliberate contradictions and disciplined nuances are at the core of this coastal home on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula.

10 • The esteemed 10 recognises 10 Australians for their excellence in residential architecture and design in 2026. Each recipient has their own legacy-building approach to homes that enrich and sustain the lives within them, centre those who create them, and magnify design’s indelible impact on the landscape and community.

ART HOUSE • Calling on the cultural legacy of a New York City townhouse, a Belgian architect designs a travertine temple for art and sculpture.

HALL OF FAME • There is a shared outlook that unites our inaugural Hall of Fame. This intuitiveness remains a steady bellwether, alongside a trust in the creative process and a propensity to listen to place, light, material and time.Each of the five cross-disciplinary architects and designers has built a body of work encapsulated by depth and conviction, while all working fluidly across architecture, interiors, products, and far beyond their home base.

A NEW PERSPECTIVEOCCHI BY ARTICOLO STUDIOS • Occhi, the Italian word for eye, captures a curiosity for what is seen. Defined by an interplay of circular and linear forms, the collection pairs metal-cased cylindrical bodies with signature solid cast-glass discs, each distinguished by a raised linear strip detail, and a softly tumbled, satin-frosted face.

TIME TO SHINE • A Sydney design studio cuts its teeth with a substantial interstate home renovation that delivers multi-generational living with the right balance of classic and contemporary, texture and colour.

The New StandardIn Interior Surfaces • Cosentino continues to shape the future of interior surfaces with the launch of ĒCLOS—new brand added to the current portfolio driven by ingenuity, shaped by material beauty. Designed for contemporary interiors that value both performance and presence, ĒCLOS transforms functional surfaces into a considered design element.

MODERN LOVE • On a hillside that reveals park and riverbend views, this home in Melbourne’s inner south is established in place and filled with local history.

10 • Globally recognised for excellence across spatial, interior and product design, these 10 multidisciplinary designers for 2026 embody the infinite value of creative collision. They stay wide-eyed to the possibilities of collaboration, remain faithful to what they notice others overlook and regard human connection as fundamental to every design.

MONUMENT TO MASONRY • Inspired by a nearby mid-century modernist landmark, this Michigan family home pays homage to local brickwork traditions, reimagined through a perceptive new architectural language.

NORTH STAR • A sandstone Sydney home floats up through mature angophoras to embrace long, light-filled water views.

SUZANNE TURLEY LANDSCAPESIN CONVERSATION • est garden editor Will Dangar speaks with Suzanne Turley, director of her Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland)–based landscape design practice. Leading the studio alongside senior landscape architect Ermanno Cattaneo, Turley realises residential gardens in Aotearoa (New Zealand) and internationally, responding to a diverse range of conditions.
