VA VA VISTA

GLEAMING FINISHING TOUCHES of golden metals and mustard yellows set against warm white walls highlight the newly spacious and curvaceous interiors wrought by interior designer Greg Natale in this apartment on stunning Sydney Harbour.

What was the brief?

The clients, a couple with two sons, sought Greg Natale to renovate their two-storey, three-bedroom penthouse apartment in Walsh Bay. Their brief was for a modern design that featured ‘plenty of curves’, European furniture and a palette of soft pink, grey and yellow.

What were the challenges of the space and how did you resolve them?

The home required a completely new design and major structural work to address underutilised and awkward spaces. The downstairs rooms were resized and relocated to align better with the double-height void above the living area, and the staircase was moved from the middle of the apartment to a corner of the living room to embrace and enhance that void. Upstairs, the constraints of dead space were addressed by expanding areas such as the master ensuite.

How would you describe the completed interior?
