Laid-back Yet Sophisticated – Milsons Point by Studio George

Located directly above Sydney’s iconic Luna Park, Milsons Point by Studio George harnesses the qualities of its pristine harbourside location and elevates the unique ambience that emanates from the foreshore beyond. The eloquent response is a sophisticated and refined design that effortlessly complements its surroundings.

The clients came to Studio George with a clear brief – to take advantage of the harbour views and to maximise the volume of the overall home as well as the communal areas where the family comes together to entertain. To achieve this, the design followed an art deco approach, grounded by a functional and contemporary interior alongside a soft, elegant aesthetic.

 Significant reconfigurations took place to restore the home to achieve its full potential.

Studio George was sensitive to the architecture and original design of the existing home to a perfectly measured degree. The home was originally built as a grand art deco high rise; however, the interior was gloomy and retained few original fixtures and fittings or carpentry details.

As such, significant reconfigurations took place to restore the home to achieve its full potential.
The home’s internal structure was mostly demolished to create a more open and connected floor plan. The kitchen was expanded, new bathrooms installed and ceilings heightened. Overall, the volume of space within the home was redefined in a way that allows people to gather in a spacious zone and move freely between rooms.

Renewed and reinvigorated, Milsons Point is an exercise in refined, responsive design.

Interior furnishings and the material palette were also directed by a tangible art deco influence. Studio George developed a beautifully detailed interior with a rich palette of finishes and furnishings that gracefully re-awaken the interior. Ivory, linen and ceramic dominate throughout, complemented by Calacatta Vagli from Artedomus – a sophisticated natural marble stone with heavily brecciated warm bronze tones.

Renewed and reinvigorated, Milsons Point is an exercise in refined, responsive design. Harnessing the design language embedded in the harbourside location, Studio George has created a laid-back yet highly sophisticated home that welcomes the oasis beyond into the interior.
