SOFT FOCUS

THE OWNERS OF THIS SYDNEY HOME love the meticulous detail of its new look by Mim Design, which was inspired by their passion for yachting and the ocean.

Designer Miriam Fanning elaborates on the transformation. What is the project and what made it attractive to you? Darling Point Residence is a serene and elegant home enriched with subtle nods to the craftsmanship of timber yachts and sailboats in the sparkling harbour beyond. It was an exciting project for our studio from the outset as we take great pride in delivering creative design solutions with enduring appeal. This is a highly personalised and inspired home that is both uplifting and soothing in spirit.

What was the starting point for the interiors? Moving from a sizeable property in Darling Point, the owners approached us to breathe life into their new ‘forever home’ — a nearby two-level penthouse apartment with spectacular views across Sydney Harbour. The clients — a developer and an artist — wanted the home to feel calm and restorative, a space that would reflect the surrounding serenity and celebrate their outdoor lifestyle.
