The 1990s Federation-style home was completely updated .
The monochromatic kitchen features black steel, tying beautifully with the steel joinery throughout the living space.
The steel joinery and track lighting provides a structured grid and rhythm in the space.
Soft Belgian linen drapes with an ombre effect soften the harder elements of the living space.
The treads on the steel stairwell are up-lit with LED lighting, creating a sculptural effect.

In the master suite, feature wallpaper adds texture and interest.
Steel and glass elements create a sleek look in the master ensuite.
A family bathroom features handmade tiles soldiered around the base of the walls and a Japanese-style bath.
To enhance the entry to the home, an antique Japanese screen lies behind the steel entrance doors, drawing visitors in.
