A minimalist house was transformed into a home of many moods through considered changes to the floorplan and a warm, witty material palette. The new owners, returned expats and avid entertainers, engaged Sydney-based Studio Johnston to revamp the interiors with an emphasis on practicality, outdoor connection, and colour. The renovation emphasized the harbour view, improved the first-floor living area and redesigned the kitchen as the home’s centrepiece. Two studies were added, and the ground level was reconfigured as a potential apartment for their son. Studio Johnston used colour, texture, and curved lines to enhance functionality and bring life to the interior.
