By Windsor Architectural Hardware
Phil and Lina Strati of Aesthetic Developments transformed a 1970s brick home in Sydney’s Arncliffe into a modern Mediterranean oasis dubbed The Fairview Project.
Their vision of an open plan home with flowing, curved lines integrates seamlessly with the outdoors, celebrating the relaxed indoor-outdoor lifestyle. This renovation showcases their bold ingenuity and unwavering commitment to design innovation.
With a natural palette, gentle geometry, and organic volumes, the residence elevates modern elegance. Curvature is central to their design philosophy, enhancing comfort and hospitality while surpassing traditional architectural norms to create a space of warmth and sophistication.
Method behind the masterpiece
The Inspiration
The Fairview Project aimed to fuse Mediterranean design with minimalism and luxury, creating a harmonious, stylish living space. The vision blended natural beauty, simplicity, and refined elegance, ensuring both functionality and sophistication throughout the home.
The Hardware
The Italian Charleston levers and New Zealand made Tasman pull handle enhance the design concept with sophistication and quality craftsmanship. Their smooth, curved designs harmonise beautifully with the home's other curved features, seamlessly integrating with the overall aesthetic and elevating the space's elegance.
The Match
The Roman Brass finish of the door hardware elegantly blended with their Sussex tapware in Rustic Bronze. This cohesive blend of shapes, textures, and colours enhanced the overall aesthetic, creating a cohesive atmosphere.
The Favourite Details
The Challenge
One challenge on the Fairview project was the continuous need to improvise due to extended lead times. To achieve a seamless, minimalist finish, we initially selected pre-constructed jambs and doors. Facing a 12-week delay, we designed and fabricated a prototype door unit in-house, ensuring timely completion.
