Striking a harmonious balance between modernist inspired architecture and contemporary living is the inspiration genesis of this building project.
​
Our reimagined take on the iconic internal brick wall as a design element, adds a modern and artful dimension to the interior landscape.
​
Although the wall is a new addition it feels as if it were always within the space and provides a grounding focal point to the newly created open plan spaces.
​
This amber Murano inspired pendant refracts shadows during daytime and night, perfectly illuminating the classic mid century design elements of this special home.
Building upon the mid century aesthetic it was important to pay homage to the original heritage features, whilst creating a contemporary design plan that improved the function and flow of the home with larger open plan areas and spaces for individual retreat.
Special occasions for family time and entertaining includes cosy moments on the swivel chairs and retro style sofa, playing records and cards while enjoying open vistas to both the front balcony and pool and alfresco area.
Large swathes of soft linen curtains, discreet sconce lighting and vintage style tan upholstered bed design is a study in understated elegance and sophistication.
The glass door with travertine hardware elevates the spacious and luxe aesthetic. Floor to ceiling large format stone in muted tones and textured vertical chevron tiles, add an earthy, natural element, juxtaposing the retro inspired amber pop sconces.
