A ‘New Classic’ interior borrows elements from both traditional and contemporary eras to create a refined, modern and timeless aesthetic.
Interior architect Sophie Davies leaned on these principles when devising this project in inner Melbourne. By combining heritage references with contemporary flourishes, she has delivered an interior that perfectly complements the design of Pandolfini Architects (who transformed the structure from a one-storey, two bedroom home, into a double-storey, three bedroom home).
For its formerly UK-based residents, this home is like a little slice of London living – right here in Melbourne!
There’s a relaxed, Californian feel to the family home of James and Liana Shaw-Taylor – a tribute to the home’s mid-century architecture, and leafy surrounds in Wahroonga, on Sydney’s Upper-North Shore.
Working with interior designers Tom Mark Henry, the couple have maintained the original modernist spirit of the home, but in a contemporary manner inspired by nature and their own eclectic tastes.
The end result is equal parts playful and sophisticated, representing a modern take on the mid-century genre!
