Homeowners Deniz and Gamze were outgrowing their two-bedroom terrace in south-eastern Sydney, which prompted them to build a brand new duplex for their children Audrey, Thomas and Charlie (all pictured opposite, from left). “Internally, our duplex feels so spacious and, with clever design and a heap of storage, we have created a great space for the kids,” says Gamze. An uninterrupted island benchtop with the sink to one side provides food prep space and a place for the family to enjoy meals, while polished concrete floors in a honed finish show no sign of wear and tear. “Surprisingly the concrete floors have a good thermal mass and feel warm underfoot, even during winter,” adds Gamze. The ‘Tommy’ dining chairs are from Globe West and the black mild steel screen was designed by Deniz from Built Lifestyles.
As the owners of a building and interior design company, Deniz and Gamze pride themselves on creating beautiful, contemporary spaces to enhance the living experience. Case in point is this four-bedroom duplex home that they built for their young family in Sydney’s Little Bay. Minimalist in design and filled with family-friendly features, it enjoys a constant connection with nature, no matter which room you find yourself in.
“Being in such a beautiful part of Sydney and having a wonderful ocean outlook, we wanted to create a minimalist home that didn’t take away from the landscape,” says Gamze. “We believe that a built space, when designed well, can have a transformative effect on your mood.”
