Surry Hills Project

by Alexandra Brown

The Clients wanted to create a modern family home reminiscent of a New York style penthouse apartment for a new build on a landmark site in Surry Hills. The brief was to create a luxurious and sophisticated space for themselves and their 2 children in their 20’s. It needed to be a functional sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of Surry Hills.

The flow of the apartment was of upmost importance with a parents retreat required with grand proportions and the teenage retreat on the other side with a lush media room and guest accommodations. The idea being that everyone could meet in the middle where the jade green marble Kitchen that needed to be “like no other” takes center stage. The challenge of the space was carefully delineating the kitchen, two living areas, feature bar and dining area within a very large open planned space. Key pieces of furniture and lighting helped to achieve this.
