Please live in this stunning town house in near Bondi in Sydney. Home to the founder of Alexander & Co, one of my favorite Australian designer firms, this home is innovative, unique, bright, playful and choca-block full of design icons without an ounce of pretense in sight. I’m working to achieve this same kind of elevated, yet lived-in vibe in This Old Victorian. I’m taking all the notes on this house. Scroll to see why.
This multi-level house brings you on a seamlessly flowing journey. Similar materials and repeating colors bring cohesiveness to the four bedroom, three bathroom home.
The home’s lowest level houses the kitchen, dining and living areas, creating the heart of the home. I’m obsessed with the sunken built in sofa. Leather-clad and with gorgeous custom oak mill work is both stunning and really family friendly. The leather sofa and upholstered Gubi dining chairs soften the rest of the room’s hard surfaces – marble floors, lime washed oak cabinets and stainless steel counters and appliances. But my favorite moment might be the large, bright piece of art about the kitchen counters. We’ve talked about bold art in a bathroom, but putting it in the kitchen is also equally unexpected and stunning.
Did you also notice the two toned cabinets? In the working area of the kitchen the cabinets are white, but transition to the oak as you transition into the living area. Another subtle but genius choice.
A more formal seating area at the front of the house has a soothing black and white color palette.
The family room features perfect mix of vintage and contemporary designer pieces and deeply saturated hues. Is that a denim Togo sofa? So good. The exposed pine beams clad the ceiling and carry throughout the house.
Sculptural ceramics and vases displayed on across a bench add an artsy vibe to in-kitchen dining area.
Though the bathroom is monochromatic, a wall of penny tile adds depth and texture.
This home offers a really interesting mix of high and low materials, but maintains a really elegant feel. From the bright white walls and the flood of natural light, to the friendly, causal yet still refined feel, this home hits all the right notes.
