With a brief that specifically sidestepped colour, the interior of this period house has been re-articulated with an emphasis on materiality, mass and rhythm. A rich, herringbone-patterned parquet creates a strong geometric base which defines the new, open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. Blocky, hand-tinted American oak cabinetry is offset by the deep sheen of patinated brass detailing; an immaculate Calacatta marble splashback creates a sense of depth. In lieu of colour, layers of material intensity create a compelling visual tension.
