Interior Design

LOCATION: 22 Challis Ave, Potts Point NSW 

The inspirations for me were summer roadtrips to Montauk when I was living in New York, the roadside clam shacks that flip up their shutters and awnings for the summer months, with umbrellas and benches scattered around on the pebbled ground. I interpreted this to fit the space on Challis Ave, bringing the beach to Potts Point. After visiting Whitstable in Kent, I was left with a love of the sand on the floor and chalkboards, a casual approach to dining but with really good quality food. 

LOCATION: 141-143 Elouera Rd, Cronulla NSW 2230

Old Joe’s was named after the old milk bar that everyone from the area remembers- covered in old advertising & run by Joe. I wanted to create a relaxed & bright place to hang out, straight from the beach, sand on your feet kinda feel. The bar is located directly across the road from the beach, and I designed it as an extension of bringing the outside, in.

LOCATION: 354 Bourke St, Surry Hills NSW 2010

A large unfinished space (about 3000 square feet) including 2 balconies and a timeline from start to finish of about 6 months.

The brief was a live venue: with this we wanted to inject glamour into the music world and create a comfortable environment that welcomed everyone with a space that you could watch live-performance, local & international bands & acts. We wanted people to come as much for the music as for the interiors. This is a place to look glamorous, feel glamorous & drink cocktails. My colour inspiration came from Marion Hall Best, Australia’s first interior designer, who I was researching at the time.
