Rather than dramatically contrast the old with the new, the studio focused on creating a sense of continuity. The original sandstone facade has been updated with blush-toned iron lace, offering a preview of the calm, welcoming spaces within. Heritage features such as ceiling roses, fireplaces and architraves have been retained, while considered spatial planning allows the extension at the rear to feel like a natural progression of the original villa. Finishes, detailing and joinery are also carried across both zones, creating a cohesive interior experience.Key to this sense of cohesion is colour. A restrained palette of soft pink and mocha hues defines the home, allowing rooms to flow easily into one another. Timber flooring runs underfoot, while muted pink and burgundy tiling appears in the fireplace hearths and door thresholds. These moments are subtle yet purposeful, helping to define different zones and guide movement. Meanwhile, joyful pops of colour, texture and pattern appear in carefully chosen furnishings throughout.
