'MATOPOS’ HOUSE : DESIGN ANTHOLOGY

STUDIO CD DESIGN, INTERIOR STYLINGClaire Delmar

Atelier Andy Carson's renovation of an art patron's home in Sydney's Freshwater, is as far from a stereotypical Australian beach house as you can get. Boasting a world-first exterior clad in curved bronze, the luxurious interiors are a picture of calm and texture, requiring a heavily curated, exceptional collection of adornments.

"As far as we know, it's the only curved and cast bronze house in the world, probably because the time required is huge and probably prohibitive." ⁠ Andy Carson, Architect

When billionaire arts Patron Judith Neilson approached Andy Carson to renovate her beach house in Freshwater, New South Wales, he knew he was in for something more experimental than weatherboards and white paint. 'Judith always likes to push boundaries and explore different directions,' says the founder of Atelier Andy Carson. 'Most clients hold you back but Judith pushes you further.'

“The detailing is minimal so as to put the focus on the changing light, the textures and the lushness of the materials.”
– Andy Carson, Architect


GREG NATALE'S 'LAGOS' COLLECTION

STUDIO CD DESIGN, INTERIOR STYLINGClaire Delmar

Interior designer Greg Natale is known for producing bold, graphic and luxe interiors and his latest foray into marble sinks and tiles in collaboration with Teranova Tiles, bare all the trademarks of his ubiquitous style. As part of our styling brief, we were tasked with designing a series of geometric, colourful vanities that complement and amplify Greg's dramatic designs in equal measure.

“From seductive curves to fluted edges and bold, geometric shapes my marble basins offer a cool simplicity that allows the inherent allure of the natural marble to take centre stage.”
– Greg Natale.


“This range celebrates the resurgence of patterned tiles in interior design. Contemporary or classic, clean-lined or richly detailed, there’s something here for everyone.”
– Greg Natale.

GLORIETTA BAR AND RESTAURANT

EDITORIAL STYLING, DESIGN AWARDS, BLOG FEATURE, INTERIOR STYLING, STUDIO CD DESIGNClaire Delmar

Inspired by the client’s love of all things Italian, Glorietta is a bar and 220-seat restaurant designed to shape a corporate precinct in North Sydney into a lively eating, dining and entertainment destination. Glorietta involved the challenging transformation of a stark, voluminous, double-height glass box within a new landmark tower, into an intimate restaurant.

THE INNOVATIVE TRANSFORMATION OF THIS SPACE FROM AN AMORPHOUS COMMERCIAL VENUE INTO AN INTIMATE RESTAURANT NOW APPEALS TO AFTERNOON SPRITZ SEEKERS, LATE-NIGHT FINE DINERS AS WELL AS THE CASUAL PIZZA CROWD.

As the podium tenant, Glorietta presented various key constraints. A cold and commercial character, including an open ceiling to allow for the base build utilities to remain effective and compliant. These obstacles made our team work hard to craft a sense of identity, intimacy and warmth.

Firstly, the space was deconstructed into separate zones. This was achieved by applying a range of floor treatments to contain each space, including polished concrete around the bar and northern dining area to timber boards in the central dining space and concrete slabs surrounding the kitchen. The large scale, volume, view and elevated floor area became advantages to creating theatre and spatial uniqueness.

The clever use of five different seating options further establishes each zone, from the high timber tables and stools at the bar, a communal table and seating to the olive-green leather banquette, rust-red-toned tables and bentwood chairs. A pizza oven, open kitchen, dining counter and bar ribbon the entry; adding atmosphere and interest, while the bar was positioned for street visibility and to contain footprint and scale.

An earthy and organic and warm palette was achieved via the careful selection of contemporary, yet durable, furnishings and fittings. Tonally gentle design elements soften the space from recycled timber, olive and apricot leathers and tiling, rust-red tables, brass, creams and wheat-coloured linen curtains which encircle the venue. A vaulted rattan ceiling ‘cloudscape’ softens the impact of the silver panelled ceiling.
