Read the full story here: Heritage character and raw tactility are celebrated in this boutique and studio space This is our home, the beginning of our creative process. A place to experience. A beautiful space for people we love. A way of living. We sought to introduce our own signature, to make this space our home, whilst respecting the history of all the homes that came before. Through the process of restoring and renovating this 1800’s space (a gym in it’s most recent incarnation) we sought to strip back and lay bare the original architectural elements and celebrate them within a contemporary context. We discovered carved archways, brick fireplaces, four metre ceilings and bevelled walls. We sought calm and authenticity with layered textures of natural materials and modern, custom fixtures and fittings working with artisans in Australia and overseas to craft hand forged iron, burnished brass, turned timber and fluted glass.

“I enjoyed a wonderful collaboration with Kate Nixon, reimagining the interior of our Federation-style home. Kate has a lovely, classical design sensibility and I loved that she is the elegant representative for the Italian fabric house Busatti, set in the town of Anghiari, Tuscany. She intuitively understands creating a sense of understated luxury and glamour in interiors and has designed beautiful living spaces for our home in a subtle palette which brings in touches of vivid orange. She is aware of my interest in fashion and travel that is part of my background as a former senior editor for Vogue Living and Vogue Entertaining + Travel, which continues on with our family travels. Hence, the informal living area with its bookshelves stacked with books and magazines, creamy white linen Busatti curtains which open to reveal the garden, kitchen adjoining detailed in white carrara marble, and bathroom lined with white mosaic tiles which reference favourite places such as Italy, France and Africa.”
