Taking its cues from the exuberant 1980s, Studio Gorman transformed this light and airy home into a retro-inspired, contemporary family home. We delighted in integrating a nostalgic palette of bright colours and playful decor to add to the fun, curvy interiors.

"Miami encapsulated the cool 1980s feel perfectly and we moved in that direction. Art Deco also influenced that era, which, in turn, influenced this home.” – Suzanne Gorman, Studio Gorman
The owner of this six-bedroom home on Sydney’s Lower North Shore adores the exuberant 1980s, with its signature pastels and puffed-up furniture. So it was love at first sight when she encountered this largely untouched relic of the decade back in 2018. “The aspect and light were amazing,” says the owner. “It immediately felt like home.” With its sweeping curves, pink palette, porthole windows and solid construction, it was the architectural equivalent of a power suit (with shoulder pads).
