A 1900s Sandstone Home Extension Inspired By The Nike Swoosh Swoosh House was designed for a family of basketballers, and its name suggests, subtly inspired by the famous Nike logo.
Das Studio referenced this iconic check mark when drawing up plans for the 1900s sandstone home’s new extension, manipulating a simple truss to form a similarly upwards sloping shape.
The result is fitting for the athletic family — who often host get-togethers on game day and shoot hoops on the Nike basketball half court — while maximising light on the south-facing Adelaide site.

It’s unconventional, yet soothing — much like the interiors of this family dream home by Folk Studio located in the very same coastal suburb.
The resulting Clovelly House pairs pastel colours with playful wavy accents and custom details to create space that gently pushes the boundaries of what a beachside home could be.

How This ’80s Melbourne Home Was Reimagined Through Bold Colours One of the best ways to put a new spin on an old home is through a fresh colour palette. This was the strategy that interior decorator Lauren Egan embraced in the renovation of a brown brick 1980s residence in Melbourne’s outer eastern suburbs.
A new palette of rich blues, velvet fabrics, brass tones and timber accents has made way for a new era of Hamilton House, where every room has its own personality.
