So many rules are broken and reworked into a new visual response that celebrates colour so beautifully… A bold, crazy paving floor connects inside and outside areas. This incredibly bold design element, when coupled with all the brick walls and a multitude of brave colours, just shouldn’t work. But somehow it just does, and therein lies the genius.
“Located in the beachy suburb of Cronulla, the house had formally featured characterless brown brick interiors, which matched its external facade. The kitchen and sitting room had also been inconveniently placed up on the second floor, disconnecting its young creative owners from the extensive garden and terrace.”
