Media summary

Park St is a mysterious feeling of nostalgia, where unapologetic playfulness meets sophistication in a transformed Art Deco duplex. This vibrant two-story family home welcomes you into a world of rich textures, dynamic colours, and a seamless blend of home and away. An upside down brief, allowed for moments and design to evolve rather than inform creating a reinvention of how a home can feel, function and unfold. Each room exudes its own unique charm, some bursting with energy, others dark and atmospheric. Drawing inspiration from Tokyo to Miami, the design seamlessly balances global influences while celebrating its heritage roots. With confident yet restrained exterior interventions, the interior radiates joy and curiosity, transforming everyday life into a captivating adventure.

Living in our new home feels like a daily retreat, radiating joy and warmth. Designed for entertainment and connection, it’s perfect for relaxing as a family, watching our daughter play, or hosting friends by the pool. The house is colourful and full of life, with every corner inviting comfort and beauty, while the kitchen serves as the true centrepiece where cooking becomes an art form. Our bedroom resembles a luxurious five-star suite, offering a sense of calm and indulgence. Effortlessly blending style and functionality, the home transforms everyday life into something extraordinary, a constant holiday surrounded by love and energy.
