INTERIOR DESIGN FOR SYDNEY'S NORTHERN BEACHES, MOSMAN AND EASTERN SUBURBS
BALGOWLAH HOUSE
The Townhouse, the Trattoria and the Glass Ceiling
Mediterranean soul meets a bold 1970s spirit in a townhouse bathroom reinvented through rich colour, sculptural curves and imaginative space planning
TWO BATHROOMS. THREE PURPOSEFUL SPACES. RADICALLY RETHOUGHT FLOOR PLANS TRANSFORMED THIS 1970s TOWNHOUSE, CREATING A FAMILY BATHROOM, SEPARATE POWDER ROOM AND ENSUITE. THE DESIGN HONOURS THE HOME’S MID-CENTURY MODERN ROOTS, WITH A CONTEMPORARY SPIRIT INSPIRED BY THE BOLD WARMTH OF THE CLIENT’S FAVOURITE MEDITERRANEAN RESTAURANT.
A RAKED GLASS CEILING AND GARDEN COURTYARD SET THE SCENE FOR THE FAMILY BATHROOM. REPLACING THE OVERSIZED SUNKEN SPA MADE ROOM FOR A FREESTANDING BATH AND GENEROUS WALK-IN SHOWER. THE ORIGINAL ENTRY NOW SERVES THE POWDER ROOM, WITH NEW HALLWAY ACCESS TO THE BATHROOM.
WITH ITS CURVED WALL AND CANTILEVERED SEAT, THE SHOWER FEELS LIKE ITS OWN ROOM, SPACIOUS YET INTIMATE. REPEATED CURVES BRING COHESION, WHILE WALL COLOUR CONTINUES INTO THE COURTYARD, DRAWING THE EYE OUT AND CONNECTING BATHROOM AND GARDEN.
WARM, ORGANIC AND PERFECTLY IMPERFECT, THE PALETTE LAYERS DEEP TERRACOTTA WITH MOSAICS, TRAVERTINE WALLPAPER AND CUSTOM CONCRETE BASINS ACROSS EACH OF THE ROOMS. AGED BRASS AND TERRAZZO ADD A RETRO NOTE, WHILE CUSTOM-DESIGNED LIGHTING ADDS TRUE UNIQUENESS AND BRINGS IT ALL TO LIFE.
