Mosman House II
By Greg Natale
With its monolithic concrete exterior, Mosman II is a bold marriage of stark brutalism and rich contemporary design; a hulking, otherworldly mass engaged in a rich design dialogue with its lush green surroundings. Looking to transform their typically modern, all-white family home, the owners approached Greg Natale to manifest a space full of meaningful colour and tonal depth.
Beginning with a striking black-and-grey foundation of clean architectural lines, pops of colour bring personality to various rooms, starting almost immediately in the entrance foyer. A floor of Palladio marble tiles makes a bold first impression, immediately softened by floating stairs and large skylights that bestow an ethereal airiness to the home. In various living areas, slabs of marble and quartzite stripe surfaces with vibrant flashes of colour. Oriented to overlook Sydney’s sparkling blue waters, several of Mosman II’s three levels cater to integrated indoor-outdoor living. In homage to the coastal location, a palette of sky blues and forest green colour various rooms to soften all the concrete, with hints of pink and purple for a final feminine touch. These curated layers of colour and texture balance two distinct styles, resulting in a cutting-edge home that is warm and welcoming̣.
