Located on a sloping site overlooking Chinaman's beach and the glistening waterway of Sydney's Middle Harbour, the existing house was poorly planned with living spaces split over mezzanine levels. In collaboration with Marston Architects the challenge was met to replan spaces to combine the living, dining and kitchen areas to one expansive level, maximising the leafy and far-reaching water views.
Tones of green became a unifying response connecting the exterior to interior and creating a sense of calm. A high-pitched roof allowed for sculptural lighting and a grand fireplace which also accommodates a large format TV that can be hidden from view with fold-away panels. Pale oak, grey travertine and velvety marmorino plaster finished walls became the backdrop to the layering of soft furnishings, hand tufted rugs and Australian-designed furniture

About the
Professional
Sydney interior design studio Katie Uther Design provides a highly personalised bespoke approach ; a service more comprehensive than a decorator and more specialised than an architect.
With the understanding that no two assignments are the same, the response to each commission is an expression of the client’s individuality, personality, living style and preferences.
Informed by open dialogue and exchange Katie sees her role is to interpret her client's wishes, resolving the pragmatics of form and function while creating a seamless integration with the architecture.
Rather than follow the latest trend Katie focuses on designing to create the desired feeling the interior space evokes. Favouring natural materials, the play between textures through selections of materials and lighting Katie aims to combine classic style and proportion expressed with beauty and refinement.
Originally a Sydney-sider, Katie's experience living and working in Paris and London shaped the designer she is today. Working across cultures and countries Katie brings a blend of European style and international experience to the creation of a uniquely Australian sensibility.
