The study joinery is encased in Elton Group timber veneer with inset ribbed glass doors and dark frames. Set against whitewashed walls and light golden timber, the study’s rich chocolate veneer and white natural stone carry on the language of juxtaposing portals throughout the home’s interior. Mimicking this creative stride, the bar’s form resembles the study. With a bench framed by luminous white cabinetry on either side, the bar speaks to the lofty, conversational nature of the home. Luxury is subtly conveyed through built-in details and thoughtful moments – such as natural stone basins, balustrades, floor-to-ceiling robes, skylights and joinery nooks – and speak to an overarching narrative of functional elegance.Lofty and bright yet dutifully restrained, Half Courtyard House is an example of refined inner-city living. Balancing bronze and timber with creamy whites, and softness with robust textures, Telha Clarke has created a detail-oriented contemporary home.
