HOMES • Salubrious pursuits are at home in these haute properties, from a Swiss ski chalet to a grand Melbourne abode sporting a modern pool, pavilion and tennis court.

Cabinet of CURIOSITIES • A grand old Sydney house that brimmed with soul (even in its most derelict state) has been transformed into a home filled with wonder and whimsy.

Monumental vision • Informed by architectural showpieces savoured on their overseas travels, and inspired by the work of a leading local architect, these Melbourne owners fashion a spectacular new build in the heart of the action.
