Shifting between architectural photography, interior design, furniture and lighting, Don Cameron’s typologically diverse body of work belies its layered connections. For Artichoke

Located in a northern coastal suburb of Perth, Play House by State of Kin emphasises the use of colour as a key element in the design. Meanwhile, the clients wanted to pay homage to its environment – a neighbourhood growing in popularity for young families, with its proximity to the beach and relaxed atmosphere.

Designed for a family who loves camping, Weather House by Mihaly Slocombe is responsive to the external environment, all while inviting the outside into the interior palette with tactile and durable materials.

Appearing to be plucked from nature, Samantha Dennis’s practice occupies both science and art. Crafted from metal and ceramics, spiders crawl over the wearer, or beetles shimmer pinned to clothing.

Bold and untethered by contemporary discourse, Shiplap House by Chenchow Little juts from Sydney’s eastern suburbs landscape, a sharp contrast to the nondescript houses that dominate this headland ridge. Chenchow Little has looked to the architectural vernaculars that used to cover this exposed coastline, the ocean nearby offering its powerful swell and seabreezes.

Perched upon the suburban landscape, undulating across a steep site, Blok Stafford Heights by Blok Modular and Vokes and Peters is a lightweight modular building grounded through masonry elements and a purist Miesian floor plan. The prefabricated design employs a simple, modernist language, in a home centred on living.

Bathed in light and views of lush coastal foliage, Camillo House evokes the landscape that surrounds it, the colour and material palette echoing local hues. Instead of demolishing the original 1980s house, designer Clare Hillier and her partner Sean edited and refined the existing structure, enlisting the help of Blair Smith Architecture to create an escape from the grind of modern life filled with sensory pleasure.

With her installations, Melbourne-based artist Meagan Streader considers the social and built environments to foster experiences of warmth and collective energy.
