“The one chirp of ultramarine – “the colour of the horizon line at dusk” – defines storage and stays within the colour field of a quintessentially Australian landscape, which is a consistent Nexus concern.” Vogue Australia

The whole-house refresh of this inner-city hideaway of a keen art collector required an astute understanding of personality and spatial functionality, bringing charm and delight while solving previously unaddressed storage issues. The house, already a sun-bleached pink externally, faces parkland and its abundant birdlife, and after finding a striking portrait of ‘Queenie’ the common Australian Galah by photographer Leila Jeffreys, our palette was born; natural pinks and greys balance snugness and sophistication. Extensive upgrading followed, with spatial flow redirected to maximise usability, pink-washed floorboards, custom joinery and fine detailing throughout, and a mixture of Australian and European furniture pieces, culminating in a cosy and optimal space for living, peppered with moments of the unexpected.

About the
Professional

For over five decades, Nexus Designs has created enduring and personal design, expressing authenticity and bringing delight. Multi-disciplinary to the core, we offer a true integrated service of interior design, product development, colour and trend analysis, graphic design and communication, working within the residential, commercial, government, education and building product manufacturing sectors.

Embodying the unstoppable search for timeless and functional design championed by our founder Janne Faulkner AM, our studio is bright, adaptable and spirited, interesting as much as we are interested, and endlessly inspired by the colour and form found within the unique Australian natural and built environments.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
