About House in Sydney
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Sydney, the “House in Sydney,” designed by Victoria Waters Design in 2017, showcases a captivating fusion of Victorian architecture with contemporary design. This Victorian single-family house, exuding timeless elegance with modern flair, invites residents and visitors alike to experience a seamless blend of past and present.
Victorian Charm Meets Modern Aesthetics
Upon approach, the ‘House in Sydney’ stands out with its charcoal-hued exterior, accentuating the traditional Victorian features. Ornate fretwork graces the veranda, where a classic bicycle rests, hinting at the sustainable lifestyle of the inhabitants. The intricate tessellated tiling underfoot promises attention to detail that carries through to the interior spaces.
A Contemporary Canvas Within
Stepping inside, the living room presents a sophisticated palette of grays, softened by natural light filtering through plantation shutters. The strategic placement of a plush sofa and sleek shelving creates a dialogue between form and function. Centrally, the fireplace anchors the space, its traditional form juxtaposed against the minimalist lines of a modern television set above.
Transitioning to the dining area, the heart of the home, one finds a harmonious blend of rustic and contemporary. A robust wooden table, surrounded by iconic mid-century chairs, encourages communal dining. Overhead, a copper pendant light reflects warmth, while expansive glass doors frame verdant garden views, blurring the lines between indoors and out.
Intimate Quarters with Playful Textures
In the private quarters, a child’s bedroom bursts with personality, adorned in cheerful pinks and whimsical pompom details. Each element, from the cozy bed to the playful decor, is curated to spark joy and imagination. Another bedroom, washed in serene blues, features graphic prints and geometric shapes, offering a tranquil yet engaging retreat.
The ‘House in Sydney’ culminates in a masterful blend of heritage and innovation, a true testament to Victoria Waters Design’s prowess. With its intentional design and aesthetic coherence, this home stands as an exemplar of contemporary living within a historical context.
