NORTHBRIDGE HOUSE

​

One of the exciting things about being an "older" designer is having the "next generation" of clients ask me to help them.

​

This solid but rather bland house in Northbridge is owned by young business executives and their family.

​

The only difficult but permanent fixture in the house was the very contemporary glass staircase rising through the centre of the house to the gallery level.  The clients wanted a sophisticated "urban Hamptons" look - which is a perfect style for this house.  So using timber chairrails and paneling we have softened the stark staircase and created a very convivial living space.

​

We created a completely new and luxurious ensuite bathroom adjoining a fine-tuned dressing room next to the master bedroom in the gallery space.

​

Together with the "cooks dream kitchen" we have, in collaboration with the clients, created a strong design statement.

​

So now it is up to them to keep "decorating" - with my help when needed.  I'm sure there will be lots of artwork and more furniture very soon!  I am loving working with them.
