Previously the home and studio of celebrated artist Charles Blackman, this one-of-a-kind residence has been exquisitely reimagined by Kaiko Design to create a truly unforgettable masterpiece. The brief: Anything but white. The result: A colourful yet calm dreamscape.
Designed to take full advantage of its elevated corner position and northerly aspect, the abundance of natural light allows the home's colour palette to set the mood. The warm earthy tones of blush, terracotta and sage encourage relaxed yet playful living while the sumptuous use of raw materials, including natural stone and timber, connect you to nature. Gorgeous bespoke pieces with a sense of whimsy promote inspiration and creativity.
Invoking a mix of architectural eras, including 1930s Art Deco and 1970s Retro, the home combines timeless elegance with meticulous craftsmanship. It flows over three levels connected by a spiral staircase and boasts a number of living spaces, various alfresco entertaining areas and well-appointed bedrooms. The gourmet open plan kitchen is fit for both cooks and caterers. The self-contained studio with a private entrance is ideal for accommodating multiple generations. And even a luxury hotel would have trouble rivalling the primary suite with its decadent dressing room, Hollywood-style vanity and spa-like ensuite. Everything one could want in a home has been addressed with careful consideration.
For those seeking a refined living experience like no other, this refreshingly unique abode is the place to make unforgettable family memories while leaving a lasting impression on guests. It's set in a tranquil enclave in a premier Sydney suburb a stroll to lush Cooper Park. It's also convenient to rail transport, Westfield, Centennial Park, Double Bay and Bondi Beach.
