Located in the heart of the Beaumaris precinct, Beaumaris House was a new build with an ode to Mid-Century architecture and design by Austin Design Associates. Featured in July 2019 issue of Home Beautiful magazine, Beaumaris House is layered with rich timber textures, from the floorboards to the natural American Oak cabinetry. Complimented with dark elements, all walls and furniture pieces were carefully considered to create this classic Mid-Century Modern palette. Every wall and corner was carefully considered within this project, giving the result of a carefully curated mix of warmth, texture and practicality. With picture window views to the garden from the freestanding bath in the ensuite, there is a great presence of Zen within in this home.

Among the mile-wide rolling cornfields on Österlen is Eva and Kristian’s four-lane farm. Creating a cozy and relaxed place to be able to gather the whole family was one of the goals of the renovation – which required both genuine understanding and a large dose of feeling for everything to be right. It looks stylish and almost modern, without in any way sticking out or making a fuss of itself. Rather, it blends in perfectly, but the farm was also built in the middle of the 19th century.
