CASE STUDY WAHROONGA HOUSE BY TOM MARK HENRY The Wahroonga House is a 188 square metre interior of a free-standing home in Wahroonga, a leafy suburb in Sydney’s Upper North Shore. Tom Mark Henry draws inspiration for his design upon the site’s architectural period and surrounding bushland, Wahroonga House is the studio’s contemporary interpretation of mid-century modern design. Tom Mark Henry’s design scheme further references the warmth and playfulness of Palm Springs balanced with a laid-back sense of elegance and sophistication. TMH Evokes a connection to Rose Seidler House for inspiration for this design – Harry Seidler’s famed 1950s home designed by the architect for his mother, the house has a graceful connection from the exterior to interior induces an earthy feel balanced by the site’s laidback Australian modernist architecture. TMH uses vast use of curves and soft edges to promote a sense of visual flow and ease in the space connecting the exterior with interior design.

The surrounding bushland of the area are the inspiration behind the selection of interior materials and finishes for the house. TMH employs rich, golden brown mosaic hues and deep forest green for the kitchen cabinetry – the rich palette complements the site’s natural bushland setting of rich in flora and fauna, delivering a unified space from the inside out. The terracotta flooring experienced in the main living area is carried into the private spaces of the home, providing a continuous experience throughout. Rattan joinery accents further connect public and private areas of the home. Tiled surfaces throughout, terrazzo floors and counter tops in the bathrooms, circular wall lights and an arched amber rippled glass door bring moments of joy and playfulness to the design.

TMH the use of colour and texture is what makes this design successful providing a cohesive connection throughout the Wahroonga House, delivering a laidback and sophisticated haven.

Case Study- Keano Warehouse by WOWOA With the kaleidoscope of colour and tonal variations in the original brickwork as its inspiration, keano warehouse takes inspiration from its 1990s past. Wowowa combines a curiosity with materiality and tactile elements to propose this threestorey medley of colour, pattern and texture in melbourne’s inner north. Keano warehouse sits interwoven into the densely and highly sought-after Melbourne community of fitzroy north. Spread over its three levels, the warehouse transformation takes inspiration from its original comprising parts. The existing brickwork provides inspiration for the resulting materiality palette and overall approach, where pops of contrasting and warm tonal variations sit unpredictably side by side. Nodding to the 90s, the mix of the surprising sits alongside interesting patterns and textures. Wowowa brings an instinctive curiosity to the project.

Wowowa’s approach to the design was to evoke the appetite and see elements come together to resemble swirling mixtures of liquids of varying textures. The coming together of reds, pinks, tans, mustards, browns and coppers is an unexpected visual delight. Instead of imposing a sense of the ‘now’ into the palette, the design has taken key elements from the existing and combined with the personality of the client to create a home that entertains and surprises.

Keano warehouse is located in an old shoe factory and the development applied is a response to the richly layered history of the site itself. Infusing a sense of humour and whimsy into the palette, the resulting playfulness is evident throughout all of the interior spaces, where each space has its own unique character and enhancement. Set within its previous fit out, the new works weave in and out of the existing, adding joinery for storage and extra amenity.

Keano warehouse offers an element of surprise in its nontraditional approach, self-consciously referencing its own character by evoking the tonality of its original comprising parts. Wowowa challenges the traditional warehouse 13
