Inspired by Brazilian modernism, maximalist interior designer Greg Natale has brought his trademark clashing patterns and bold layering to his Kyle Bay project. Our response was to meet the strong brutalist architecture and artful interiors with highly sculptural, mid-century-inspired pieces and a vibrant colour palette.

“A maximalist aesthetic against minimalist lines – that juxtaposition is at the heart of what I do."
– Greg Natale
The three-storey, five-bedroom house sits comfortably among the greenery in the southern Sydney suburb of Kyle Bay and overlooks the Georges River. Its inverted floor plan suits its cliffside setting, with bedrooms on the top floor, kitchen, dining and living areas on the second floor and a generous bar area on the lowest floor leading out to an expansive pool deck. Concrete assumes a decorative and structural role. Off-form slabs create an appealing grid effect on the house’s exterior and continue inside, where the tie holes, filled with brass, seem to draw their warmth from the American walnut floors.
