The juxtaposition of modern elements and period details echoes throughout this project, undertaken for a developer, in Melbourne’s Northcote. It pays homage to the once working-class area that has developed into a community rich with culture, eclectic art, music, fashion and an enviable foodie scene.
Alter Space wanted to harness the edgy youthfulness of the suburb and inject this into the design. With a limited budget and by utilising a sleek selection of materials and finishes, we focused on a bold, monochromatic palette with geometric patterns to achieve a timeless home .
Each area was developed to have a distinct feel through the use of different combinations of contrast, scale and pattern. The monochromatic palette, both dramatic and elegant, creates a harmonious transition between each room and contrasts beautifully with the amount of light that pours throughout the entire home.
Based in Melbourne, Australia, Alter Space Interiors is a contemporary interior design studio founded by Maggie Zavala and Sarah Vautin.
After instantly connecting while studying at Melbourne’s renowned RMIT University, Maggie and Sarah went on to establish Alter Space Interiors together: a design studio that offers a fresh approach to classic design, specialising in tailoring unique spaces and creating custom solutions for both residential and small commercial projects.
Inspired by nature, form and influenced by historical references, Maggie and Sarah thrive on creating beautiful and superior spaces that evoke emotion and leave a lasting impression on their audience. Their shared passion for blending contemporary design with classical influences sees their style embracing elements of modern flair and contemporary colour schemes; while also drawing on a deeper understanding of the history and design intent behind the project site and its features to create timeless, unique interiors.
