At the end of this month, we’ll be launching our 50th issue of est magazine. We’re honouring 50 of the most iconic homes to be featured in our digital magazine to celebrate this milestone. We’ve just revisited issues 20-29, bringing us to issues 30-39, where we explore 19 exceptional home stories. From a nature-focused Melbourne home in issue 30 to a moody East Hampton retreat in issue 39, these homes have stood the test of time.
We got a glimpse into this nature-focused home in Malvern, Melbourne, on the cover of issue 30, designed by Australian architects studiofour. All of the issues since have shed light on the intrinsic relationship between buildings and nature, culminating in our latest release, ‘Force of Nature‘.
In issue 32, we stepped inside Australian fashion designer Camilla Freeman-Topper’s (Camilla and Marc) Sydney home. An extension of her innate style, the iconic home is one of numerous collaborations we’ve since witnessed between Australian interior design studio Atelier Alwill and Luigi Rosselli Architects.

In issue 33, we marvelled at Dutch interior designer Niels Maier’s transformation of a grand 13th-century estate in Maastricht, the Netherlands, which spoke to the enduring appeal of a monochrome palette.

At the beginning of 2020, we produced our first residential film – a reimagined 1980s home in Malvern, Melbourne, designed by Australian interior design firm Doherty Design Studio – released as part of an entire home tour inside issue 35.
In issue 36, released during a time when in-person home visits weren’t viable, we virtually visited the homes of global architects, designers and creatives. One of those homes was est contributing writer Stephen Crafti’s Belgian-inspired Melbourne home, designed by Australian firm Robert Simeoni Architects.

Belgian architects Mathieu Luyens and Julie Van De Keere, who together founded JUMA Architects, also opened their doors in issue 36 as part of our ‘Kitchen Confidential’ feature. A few months later, we featured the rest of their serene East Flanders retreat on estliving.com.
We continued to evolve our ‘At Home With’ series in Issue 37 as we toured the home and garden of French interior architect Pierre Yovanovitch, set in the woodlands of Provence, France.

Our issue 37 cover story saw North American practice Ryan Leidner Architecture reimagine a mid-century-modern home in California’s iconic Silicon Valley region.
The striking blue living space that embodied issue 38 – featured as part of Australian firm Kennedy Nolan’s Erskine House project in Melbourne – possesses an unshakable charisma, making it one of our most-read issues to date.
