Set within Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, Emerald House breathes new life into a heritage-listed 1890s Victorian residence. Alexander & Co. craft a dialogue between past and present, where family living and entertaining unfold within layers of history and modern ease. Light and landscape flow through a new rear extension, connecting the reoriented kitchen and family spaces to a lush north-facing garden. The parent’s retreat becomes a private haven, complete with walk-in robe, balcony and ensuite. Inside, a palette of burgundy and green stone, dark timber, brass and leather strikes a balance between drama and serenity, yielding a home both grounded and glamorous.

Respect for history. Care in the details. The scent of wood. The cool touch of steel. The simplicity of it all. Peaceful. The world of Italian architect Rocco Borromini.

Art Deco revival

Monroe House by Parker Studio showcases the firm’s belief that thoughtful design enriches daily life. Known for creating interiors that are elegant, expressive, and sensitive to their surroundings, Parker Studio crafted a cohesive scheme that honoured the home’s Art Deco heritage. Previously fragmented in style, the house was reimagined with a contemporary vibrancy that celebrates its history while feeling distinctly modern, resulting in a harmonious balance of character, refinement, and architectural integrity.
