Bellevue Hill House

As this home transitioned from one owner to the next, Greg Natale is invited back to Bellevue Hill House to completely reinvent the interior he created twelve years prior. What was once a Greg Natale Hollywood Regency-era interior has been totally overhauled, and in its place, a soft, textural home comes alive through a beautiful expression of curved additions reminiscent of Cycladic architecture but with a contemporary twist. To have had the rare opportunity to reverse a previous design and start over from scratch was a ritualistic practice symbolic of the designers evolution.

The new curves in question begin in the formal entry, where a twisting staircase ascends from the Patagonia Verde quartz floor, the first of several demonstrations of a more-is-more approach to natural stone. In the kitchen, Breccia Capria imported from Italy envelopes the walls,  benchtops, range hood and custom island in unique violet veining. Underneath the stairwell, a sizable arch rises to form the opening to the formal lounge. A continuous wall winds its way unobstructed through the space and into the dining area with a feel of fluidity that is reinforced by wave ceilings. Blonde timber floors and a light clay wash on the walls and ceilings bestow an airy, luminous ambience onto the space. Modern furniture completes the look that Greg is calling “European Minimalism”.

Thank you for your interest in our services. Please include detail on your project so we can respond with the best possible information.
