A simple palette of neutral white walls and engineered timber flooring allows a muted background for vibrant artworks throughout, the wooden and mid-century furniture softened with throws and original vintage finds such as some of the rugs.

The generous windows were made more private whilst maintaining high natural light levels with unlined linen curtains, allowing for a healthy indoor plant jungle, leaving the wall above to be occasionally spotted with a projector without permanent screens interrupting the calm oasis.

The main bedroom has a nautical feel reflecting their love of the ocean, with predominantly blue artworks and hand-made imperfectly waved silk curtains, and some of their favourite art to see last thing at night and first thing in the morning.

The bathroom was completely remodelled and clad in deep green tiles and semi-gloss paint reminiscent of a rainforest island, with floor tiles inspired by Italian designer Carlo Scarpa.

The kitchen was also completely replaced to free up the central floor area, allowing for the space to adapt to multiple uses throughout the day, from ply to match the full width shelves made unusually deep to accommodate the owner’s extensive book and object collections.
