Cul-de-sac Family Retreat in Brisbane’s Chapel Hill


Family retreats are a great way to escape from the urban jungle and raise children in beautiful scenery, surrounded by modern technology and contemporary design. Growing up in a place like this next home can be surprisingly helpful in learning about clean design lines and uncluttered space. Judy Goodger has this beautiful residence for sale and describes it as a perfectly positioned family retreat: “Spread over two levels, this first-class floor plan offers space for the entire family. The first level features an open plan dining and living area that merges effortlessly without compromising the definition of each space. Neutral tones accentuated by polished timber flooring create a warm and inviting atmosphere that gives way to a generously sized deck and pool area. With views of the tranquil surrounds, it is the perfect outdoor space to kick back and watch the kids enjoy the extensive child-friendly grounds.” With a modern kitchen allowing allows easy service to the dining area and four bedrooms, the residence at the end of a cul-de-sac in Chapel Hill has a total land surface of 577 sqm. Do you think that you would need more space for raising a family?

Modern Family Home in Australia Displaying Cutting Edge Design and Subtle Luxury


Welcome to a family home where modern design still leaves room for coziness and warmth. Envisioned by Bower Architecture, a practice of young architects from Melbourne, Australia, the Caufield Residence displays a good sense of symmetry, elegance and cutting-edge amenities. Spotted on Desire to Inspire, the project accommodates multiple living zones, four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a garage, plus a north-facing courtyard with swimming pool for relaxation.


It is fun to observe the contrast between the sober concrete fence and facade overlooking the street and the opposite side of the house, defined by openness. Wood is an element that can be found throughout, ensuring an elegant exterior and adding warmth in every room. The focal point of the residence is the social area, characterized by light and space. Floor to ceiling sliding doors connect it to a wooden terrace and to the backyard with the swimming pool. Enjoy the virtual tour below and tell us what you think!











Modern Comfort and Subtle Luxury: Cresta Residence in San Diego


This massive 5,300 square foot contemporary residence in San Diego, California, USA was envisioned by architect Jonathan Segal as a solid concrete building with plenty of openings maximizing communication with the outdoors: “Due to the unusually small property in an area with typical properties three to four times the size, every square foot was important. The exterior room was a key element in creating a home that otherwise would have felt small, to feel larger and more private than it is. While this space creates a void, the overall form of the building is kept intact”.


Different from every standpoint, the Cresta Residence by Jonathan Segal offers an original living experience to say the least. Its clean lines and minimalist interior design approach go hand in hand with modern comfort and subtle opulence. Sustainability was a key factor in the development process, with the roof solar panels and other ingenious systems supplying nearly 100% of the overall needed power.

Holiday Atmosphere All Year Long at Island Hideaway Resort in Maldives


Island Hideaway is one of the many fascinating refuges in the Maldives. Located on the crescent-shaped island of Dhonakulhi, the resort has complex accommodation options, plenty of facilities and a design inspiring comfort and relaxation. Here is more from the official description, as provided by the staff of the resort: “Guests are whisked to The Island Hideaway in the North of the Maldives by a 45-minute scenic photo-flight from the international airport at Malé, the capital city, to Hanimaadhoo (Domestic) Airport followed by an exhilarating 20 minute speedboat hop to Dhonakulhi Island.The crystal clear turquoise waters of the shallow waist-deep lagoon surrounding the Island stretch as far as the eye can see. The Island is unique in its reef formation, the reef system it sits on having a natural channel splitting it in two distinct parts, and thereby forming a natural harbor for the marina“. The guests on Island Hideaway resort can choose between a variety of accommodation units, from family villas to water or garden rooms, each of them “equipped” with a holiday atmosphere.
