Onslow Residence · Sydney Harbour

A home built around a woman who loves being alive.

HARBOUR APARTMENT

The brief

It began with a feeling.

Not every brief begins with a mood board. Sometimes it begins with a feeling: the one a client wants to wake up to every single morning. At Onslow Residence, that feeling was joy. Unfiltered, unapologetic and absolutely her own.

The starting point was a harbour apartment with strong bones and a tired interior. What followed was a full renovation and restyling that touched every surface, every room and every detail. The result is a home that does not simply reflect its owner’s personality. It amplifies it.

A room designed for someone who knows exactly who she is.

Arrival and gallery

Colour with conviction.

The entry sets the tone in a single gesture: blush pink custom joinery, a marble shelf, contemporary artwork and a playful wall of decorative plates. It is confident, witty and entirely personal.

Beyond it, the hallway becomes a gallery. Blush walls and herringbone timber floors carry a collection of large-scale contemporary works, so every walk through the home feels like a private viewing.

Kitchen and living

Calm, with a pulse.

The kitchen is composed in soft sage green cabinetry around a fluted timber island, with marble surfaces. It is crisp and practical, and it opens straight onto the living and dining zones.

The living room pairs deep green tufted velvet with patterned rugs, warm timber and art chosen to make you smile. The harbour light does the rest.
