Previously occupied by a roofing company, and then an antiques dealer, this cottage required a lot of work when award-winning artist Zoe Young moved in. ⁠
⁠
"I laugh when I think of our first days in the house," reflects Zoe. "We were so happy to just have a space of our own that we were truly blind to all the work that needed to be done."⁠

Take a twenty-minute drive out of Byron Bay’s busy centre, and you’ll arrive at The Perch, a rustic holiday home with natural brick flooring, exposed timber beams and surroundings so idyllic you’ll find it a challenge to leave. ⁠
⁠
“It’s not your traditional white farmhouse,” says owner Geoff Cochrane, who completely renovated the property to create a retreat that feels rustic, yet elegant.⁠

"The house itself is terribly simple with high ceilings and full sliding windows and doors to let the breeze come through," says Imogen Tutton of her lakeside home on the Mornington Peninsula. ⁠
⁠
"It's clad in certified rainforest teak and the long-term plan is for it to weather to the colour of gum trees and sink down into the landscape." ⁠

This classic Queenslander was once a three-bedroom home "with no functioning bathroom or kitchen," says owner Julie Granger. ⁠
⁠
A major renovation, involving the re-configuration of the layout, soon made way for an enlarged open-plan kitchen, living and dining room as well as a modern internal laundry and a light-filled bathroom. ⁠
