Ductwork runs underground to the new concrete floors, providing a highly efficient air supply system. Metal roofing wraps down the side walls of the new structure, draining water to linear gravel troughs along the perimeter – so no downspouts or gutters are needed.

We’ve sold a vast swathe of homes this year, from modernist masterpieces to classic London lofts and even an imposing 19th-century tower renovation. Our spaces are a diverse collection covering the contemporary through to the historic, all championing a modern design sensibility and thoughtful consideration of elements like materials, space and curation. Here, we run through the best homes of 2019, as selected by you in order of most-viewed. The home has been designed to incorporate an open floor plan, while providing a sense of privacy.

You can also see the original porthole lights in the ceilings and the very uniquely designed light boxes, which Katie and Ian re-furbished. Australian houses, from architectural masterpieces to suburban family homes, Victorian terraces, mid-century marvels, coastal shacks, city apartments, and everything in between. A stunning 6,200 sq ft space, this remarkable and sprawling house rises up through its surrounding landscaped gardens. Described by the Architects’ Journal as having a “beguilingly cave-like relationship to the outside world”, it is a bold vision of contemporary architecture in which the natural world has been thoroughly entwined with the design.
Each wing of the house needed to match each other so that we could span between them simply with the screened roof. Situated on a tight lot brought the building to the limits of the setbacks so that we could maximize the courtyard footprint. A drawback of the site was the lack of privacy in the courtyard from the rear neighbors. Although they have an 8’ privacy fence, there was still a significant view from the neighbor’s second story windows. To compensate for that, I designed a roofed connection between the rear ends of the wings and a louvered upper wall to add additional layer of privacy to the rear of the courtyard.

Once a set of stables, followed by a series of design studios, the building’s latest incarnation is a design-led, light-filled space with bespoke details. Running almost the length of the house is an internal cobblestoned courtyard brimming with plant life – a remarkable addition that has us never wanting to leave. While one color might be, oh-so-mod, one year, it can be out of the running the next. If you like keeping your home up-to-date with the latest trending colors, plus give it a new look form time-to-time, here’s the latest modern color that will be found in plenty of modern home decor themes this year. It’s called Nightwatch Green and it’s a twist on the emerald and hunter green that you are probably more familiar with. This deep, rich, yet vibrant green can be found on walls, in flooring, on counters, and in many other elements in homes.
Apartments at 990 Fifth Avenue, a co-op designed by Rosario Candela, don’t come up for sale very often. But after a renovation, this triplex listed for a whopping $52 million, and later got a price cut to $39.75 million. It has plenty of stunning details, including an entry gallery with black Belgian granite flooring, plaster ceilings, five fireplaces, and hand-carved moldings and door frames. While we covered plenty of gorgeous homes this year, the ones below stood out. Among them, there’s a dreamy storybook house in Forest Hills Gardens, I.M. Pei’s Sutton Place residence with modernist details, and a neo-Federal style townhome with classic details close to Prospect Park.

Set on an urban lot, the unique design of this modern home is based on a courtyard layout enclosing two outdoor areas, creating a sense of openness and connection to nature. The home was designed for a family lifestyle with thoughtful details for children and durability. Throughout the home vistas are designed to incorporate views of these outdoor areas and blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor space. A detached guest pavilion and outdoor deck extends the living space and bridges garden and pool areas. The design enhances the feeling of light open spaces and combines a sense of elegance and simplicity.
When they purchased the home in 2015, the home needed a lot of work. When the original house was flooded by Harvey, homeowners re-built an elevated contemporary home featuring an inner courtyard. And on the fourth level we have the upstairs bedroom suite, a studio/loft with kitchenette, and a large terrace overlooking both downtown Houston and the Medical Center. The third level has the master suite, guest suite, laundry room and loft area. Level two is the open public spaces, the living room, dining room and kitchen, with balcony and outdoor kitchen. When the original house was flooded in Harvey, the owners rebuilt an elevated split-level contemporary home with an inner courtyard.

The original 30ftx45ft home was expanded to a 45ftx45ft square footprint with a two-story addition in the back. The project features a unique master suite with a rooftop garden and balcony and an open Arclinea kitchen overlooking the backyard. An impressive steel and glass staircase connects the two main floors and is brightened by two large skylights. Garrett Park, designated as a national arboretum and located just 12 miles outside of Washington DC, nestles our home in a mature wooded lot. Due to the confined trapezoidal shape or our lot, a modern design was a natural outcome.
While brushed copper and bronze definitely have their place with some decor themes, they aren’t so much a part of the latest modernism trend. Houseplants have always been one way to add to any type of home decor. They bring joy into your home, and they’re good for the indoor environment by helping to purify the air your breathe. But did you know that there’s a new modern trend going on with houseplants and it’s about big, bold and colorful? Yes, if you love keeping up with modern trends, then think about adding a big, bold, and colorful houseplant to your home decor this year. Did you know that with tax credits in New York State, you could save up to 25% with a solar energy system and more with additional tax credits for energy efficiency?
This home on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula is the ultimate combination of beach house, mid-century, and sophisticated modern design. Cabinet maker Roman rebuilt all the cabinetry as it was rotting and about to fall through the floors. He skilfully managed to match the wood stain to the original wood panels.’ On the bench is the 1970s Le Creuset pot, and vintage orange bowl. Award-winning Australian interior design, inspiring homes, and interviews with Australia’s top designers.

The Garden House was thoughtfully designed in reference to the traditional cottages of the area.
Pei, who died in May, designed his own Sutton Place townhouse, where he lived with his wife Eileen for more than 45 years. The four-story, 3,848-square-foot home has four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, and listed this year for $8 million. It has a modernist aesthetic, and comes with floor-to-ceiling windows, a spiral staircase, and an oblong skylight that resembles Pei’s glass pyramid at Paris’s Louvre Museum. The pitch of the addition’s shed roofs allows for clerestory windows in all rooms, offering views of the many large trees on the site, all of which were preserved during construction.
It took over 20 years of trying to launch this project and being side-tracked by life but we feel like the wait was worth it. We created a home that can accommodate our life, our friends, family and the many things we can, and cannot anticipate about the future. On the exterior, simple black metal form is elaborated with a series of colored attachments that make a two-story projected window bay, an entry canopy and frames for window groupings. The colors are inspired by one of Richard Diebenkorn’s Ocean Park paintings. Located on D’Entrecasteaux Channel overlooking Bruny Island is one of Tasmania's most architecturally spectacular homes, and it's for sale... The interior design byStudio Gormanis just as impressive, combining ‘50s elements alongside the latest technology to take this home into the 21st century and beyond.
