MOSMAN FAMILY HOME - EMBRACING THE CLASSICS

It was such a pleasure to deliver on this clients brief. Whilst we only concentrated on a small portion of this home, the impact was high. The directive was to fully embrace classic and timeless style, with reference in our initial discussions to high-end British designers, and the beautifully polished homes dotted throughout London that merge classic and contemporary so well. The sitting room is an unashamedly “grown-ups only” room filled with luxe fabrics, inviting textures and furniture items high on detail such as raw edge marble, leather and brass. With no major structural changes to be undertaken, original floorboards were left untouched and the ceilings, doors and walls carefully restored and painted. Having no need for a formal dining space, we were briefed to turn this room into quite possibly the most chic gym in town, complete with its own restored fireplace, home gym equipment, a custom mirror and temporary gym matting. Off this area is the refreshed terrace, now a light, bright and usable space - a small custom bar area and double doors open out onto the courtyard to watch the kids play or enjoy a drink at the bistro table. Some finishing touches to the entry foyer and the children’s bedrooms completed the picture - for now - for this lovely family, who were such a joy to work with.
