Situated on the riverfront and extending over 3 levels with tree-filled views towards the banks of the Yarra, this 1990’s home designed by Australian architect; Neil Clerehan is a homage to timeless design and nature.
With a palette that draws inspiration from the surrounding landscape our furniture and décor selection was curated with local designers and materials.
Like all our furniture projects, materiality and colours play a key role in the curation, and become the local heroes in our palettes.
A palette of Greens, Browns, Ochres and deep Plums tune in to the external landscape, and echo the ambience of the Eucalypts.
In the living room, inlayed carpet in a chunky loop pile has zoned this area and an angled Sofa with ottoman in a textured modern boucle anchors the room. A pair of oversized armchairs in rich deep hues and a nested set of coffee tables by local furniture designers; Made AU finish off this room. An original Mandy Francis painting depicting birds in flight references the wildlife habitat outside.
In the Master Bedroom, the infinity of Eucalyptus trees create an evocative mood and the use of colour and contrast echoes the riverfront views.
A pair of Mooi Bart lounge chairs upholstered in a rich green and quilted textile compliment a travertine coffee table with a set up that allows the Clients a place to retreat after a long day. A fully upholstered bed with a pillow formed head rests against the rich green hues of the batten profile feature wall behind.
A focus on locally made and designed furniture, décor and art; Harrison House is a modern family home with an unassuming authenticity that relates to its original incantation and harmonious environment.
