Ratifying Newton’s law of opposites attracting, high chroma finishes mingle with raw instinct and dollops of warm spice tones with nurturing potency. Olive green, turmeric, and peach are the binary shades that link the spaces, in turn maximising the modest 55 SQM floorplan – from joinery to bed linen and antique kilims.
Economising space, open shelves located at varying heights draw the eye to every angle of the home including a timber unit beneath the banquette, a high display niche afforded by floating kitchen joinery cupboards, and custom stone feature ledges.
A rich tapestry of salmon pink tiles with white inlays grant an aged patina to the kitchen and entrance. Upon closer inspection, each is hand-painted on original floorboards.
