MOOD BOARD

“a 70s revival house with a chic cafe vibe and an art gallery aesthetic”

Reviving the 70s style of wood, warm oranges and custom made furniture and fixtures and reviving preloved materials and vintage pieces, The Revival House is an ecclectic mix of textures inspired by the Australian landscape and the local Paddington area. It is in essence retro scandi meets modern contemporary Australian design.

DESIGN CRITERIA

Program The terrace will contain an open living and dining, a kitchen and guest bath. The ground floow will lead out into an outdoor entertainment garden area. The first floor will have the master bedroom, walk in robe and ensuite. The kids bedroom, second bathroom and laundry will be on the same level. The attic will be utilised as a work/ study space and the basement will be turned into a media/storage room allowing for flexibility.

Spatial Planning The storage will be kept in the basement for items not needed everyday. The main usable areas for entertaining will be on the ground floor. Private areas are on the first floor and the laundry will be moved here also to be close to the bedrooms.

Materiality Timber look tiles will be used for durability and cleaning. Wood veneers will be used for cabinetry and coloured glass windows will be used to let light in. Natural stones such as travertine and marble will be used for hard surfaces. Carpet will be used in bedrooms for comfort.

Detailing Brass detailing will be used throughout except for the front staircase which will use black matt metal in correspondence with the glass and metal balustrade. Custom curved walls will be made from glass and wood panelling.
