"A timeless interpretation of tailored East Coast Hamptons style in a unique Australian waterfront setting. Hardwood floors, bespoke joinery and custom upholstery combine in elegant, understated luxury. A considered palette of textured neutrals and nautically inspired stripes, natural timbers and wicker complement the client’s own collection of vintage carpets."

Presented with a blank slate, our brief was to furnish and finish the project’s interiors to deliver a comfortable, elegant family home.

Practical design solutions were inherent to the project such as a mud room created in the lower level stair landing and banquet storage for water sports equipment, reef shoes and sun hats adjacent to the newly created rock pool direct access.

An edited curation of custom furniture and bespoke, made to measure soft furnishings imbue this project with a unique, tailored interior reflective of its exceptional waterfront setting and clients’ classic style.
