Inspired by the clients’ soulful collections of books, vintage glassware and artworks, the style of this project is a distillation of the individuals in the household.

It is characterised by an airiness but grounded with oak and elm woods. A light overall palette features pops of color in the artworks and seating. Eclectic while keeping clean lines, it is relaxed but curated, with a range of cultural and stylistic influences. A series of small female portraits woven throughout the stairway adds a contemplative, artistic voice that threads each zone together.

This was a fast-track rental project for a family that needed a home for a growing set of functions: dedicated zones for work, online classes, indoor and outdoor workouts, piano lessons, reading, relaxing and entertaining spaces, ample storage capacity, and bespoke built-ins to feature a large library, as well as ethereal glassware, shoe and handbag collections. The bespoke feature bar, breakfast and reading nooks were all designed to specifically appeal to the individuals in the family as requested. We were able to accommodate all of their requirements, and create an inviting, peaceful, tailored environment with efficient, uncluttered organisation.
