Convesso Concavo Display Suite
Interior Decoration
The fluid forms of the twin residential towers Convesso Concavo will stand against a dramatic city skyline when completed at the end of 2012. Harbourside water views are a prime asset completing the tranquil setting. Bates Smart Architecture and Interior disciplines collaborated in the spatial planning of the generously proportioned apartments, designed to maximise north facing unobstructed waterfront views. The interiors feature finely detailed, well considered kitchens, bathrooms and joinery with a timeless palette of neutral finishes.
Grong Grong
Interior Decoration
The neoclassical façade of this Toorak residence divulges nothing of the building’s interior, which is a journey into the unexpected. Taking its cues from the building – “I’m new but I want to be old” – the contemporary interior authentically observes the past. Modern art, heirloom furniture and imported lighting hover in style and time. The ground floor is a tale of two worlds. Cross the threshold and be transported, Alice in Wonderland style, to a choice of the Salon (glamour/public) or the Living Room (family/private). Part palace, part bazaar and part Miss Havisham’s house, the Salon is a grand, luxurious room that takes seriously its ‘private hotel’ aspirations. A fabulous bar sits alongside lushly upholstered custom furniture and major contemporary artworks. The Salon is about glamour, excitement and aspiration; its look is fun, strong and idiosyncratic. With milder manners, the Living Room is serene and provides the backdrop for daily life. While the colours and textures dial back from the Salon, the careful curation of varying objects retains the furnishing approach. Upstairs, bedroom suites and an elegant study deliberately retreat from the energy of the ground floor.

Shakin' Steven's House
Interior Decoration
Decoration within this house is a combination of 2 major themes, both include the colour green and it’s pervading trace though the conceptual drive of this project. Decoration in the form of the use of the colour ‘green’ has not only been used not for ‘decorations sake’ but used to inform bigger picture issues such as enabling a more sustainable outcomes through connection with local amenity ‘green’ spaces, providing connection with internal garden spaces and by utilising colour as a device to connect buildings of differing periods.
