Feeling 10/10 this week as we are nominated in 3 categories in the @ausdesignreview IDEA 2026 awards for THE TROPIC (Hospitality), SOUL MATE (Residential Single) & our little team that could in the Emerging Designer of the Year category!

It is a different type of reward when we get to be considered amongst our peers and we are always eternally grateful.

Thank you to the @ausdesignreview, the jury, Niche Media & all the sponsors. We look forward to sharing great company with the other wonderful nominated emerging designers this week in Melbourne xxxxxxxx CA 🤍🥂

Vignettes from the family bathroom at DISTRICT. Incredibly sweet and imperfect. The glowing warmth through the Zellige tiles seeps through the space, it almost feels like eternal golden hour. x CA

Balancing the volume of the room softly, our overscaled fireplace rests almost impossibly atop the floating timber ledge. We love the outcome here - it is effortless and ties so generously into the dining space. x CA

A primo spot to soak in the afternoon sun at @terrigalpavilion. Robust hand crafted teak furniture echos the architectural language of the deck; simple, honest and practical with a touch of familiar. x CA

Chunky butters, spotted gum and views between the Pacific & pines, welcome to @terrigalpavilion. As we head back towards summer, we are excited to be able to share images of this cracking venue.

Perched on the top of Terrigal’s seaside, the interiors celebrates scale and materials in restraint.
