It's time for the Eat Drink Design Awards again and we couldn't go past the beautiful reimagining of the Esplanade "Espy" Hotel in St Kilda. This has been an icon of the Melbourne music scene for many years and if walls could talk, these walls would have 140 years worth of tales to tell.⁠⁠

This is the entry and waiting area of located in the gorgeous heritage Rowes Arcade building.

"Sawtooth" Queenstown
Reflecting the owner's need for a family home to showcase their art collection, this home is filled with dark joinery, plenty of local timber and space. While the black, white and timber palette has the potential to appear impersonal and dull, the use of contrasting finishes, coupled with the soft furnishing and excessive use of natural light means this design is comforting and stunning.

"The Cottages" at Lake Hayes, New Zealand
Making the most of the panoramic views of the stunning Southland scenery, this project has a rustic yet refined feel about it. All of the finishes are textural and natural in colour palette and physical form, taking inspiration from the historic woodshed it is located next to.

This Colonial Revival project in California is the perfect example of intelligent design choices with an understated and timeless result.
