A harmonious transformation of two terrace houses into a vibrant family dwelling, featuring a playful color palette and a stunning mural by artist Ash Holmes, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces.
Working alongside Sam Crawford Architects, our selections were informed by the client’s love of the natural landscape and their desire for a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
From the street, the architect has retained the distinct facades of the two terrace houses, and at the rear they have been transformed into a single harmonious dwelling.
We schemed a playful colour palette, taking warm, earthy cues from nature, and adding interest with fresh pops of colour.
The large sliding screen doors separating the guest house from the entertainment area were a blank canvas. We engaged artist Ash Holmes to create a mural, which transformed the space.
“Working in synergy with the architect and artist, we created an created an environment that fosters joy and connection for this young family,” says Mina.
