Romantic nature

This expansive residence is intertwined with its setting

With such an open feel between the inside and out of this residence, the interiors naturally had to connect to the surroundings in terms of furniture placement and wall tones. However, at the same time they also had to be exciting living spaces in their own right.

Interior designer Lisa Torbett was involved in the project from the outset. A series of design phases, drawings and consultations resulted in a grand interior that directly reflected the clients' requirements, she says.

"The home's interiors have a slightly eclectic feel with strong color accents favoured by the client," says Torbett. "The central staircase and 10-seat bar are part of the sense of refinement."

If the exterior, spied through the trees, has a romantic appeal, then the high-style interiors also have a sentimental, even exotic, presence.

"The floors are wide-plank walnut and some walls have a Venetian finish to bring a sense of depth to the spaces. In addition, the home's settings are uncluttered, accentuating the volume of the residence. Rich silk drapes fall to crumpled puddles on the floor, an antique chandelier sparkles over the dining table and the living room sofa is in a fine, sensuous velvet."

This romantic feel is continued in other areas of the home. The kitchen features fine gold detail on the paneling of the island and some walls are marble. In the Marsh Room vibrant custom murals by respected artist Steve Penley have personal relevance to the owners.

"A close collaboration between the clients, architect, builder and myself resulted in a house that responds perfectly to the couple's needs."
