A generous corner site allowed for a lofty side entrance at this five bedroom home, where a large herringbone pivot door and the sculptural spiral staircase instantly catch the eye.
Inside, a palette of rich marble, timber and brass awaits, creating a balance of warmth and drama that is juxtaposed by subtle injections of light marble, putty greys, and crisp whites. This material palette was inspired by the robust blend of concrete and black steel seen outside, and creates harmony between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Carefully created with our clients to meet the needs of a busy family, upstairs houses all bedrooms; including the generous master suite.
