White Knight
By Nexus Designs
Retaining charm without compromising function or aesthetics, the reworking of this 1930s South Yarra house, originally designed by notable architect Marcus Martin, aligns respect for heritage with the needs of modern living. Internally, spaces are awash with solid and calming neutrals, enlivened with opulent blues and subtle shifts in texture and finish; the drama of the 1930s reimagined for the clients of today.
Furniture was selected for one of two reasons – to contrast with the heritage detailing or to complement it. The Moooi Container table in the entry illustrates the former, the velvet piped Maxalto Lutetia Vestis sofa is an example of the latter.
Artwork selection by Nexus Designs included pieces by Fred Williams, John Firth-Smith, Milton Moon, Rosemary Laing, Noel McKenna, Jackson Slattery and a commissioned sculptural work by John Nicholson.
