SE DÉA was born from a desire to inspire beauty; to collaborate and connect in a sustainable and joyful way; to enhance home and sanctuary; to create a lifestyle aesthetic. We seek to breath new life into daily ritual through the transformation of residence.
Tamarama Penthouse illustrates this ethos. In downsizing from her park-side Woollahra home, our client sought to strike a balance between the sophistication and prestige familiar to her original neighbourhood with the relaxed contemporary feel of a light and airy 2-storey coastal apartment - this is where ‘Woollahra meets the Sea’.
Ocean views and coastal landscapes are visible from every aspect in the ground floor living, dining and kitchen space. This inspired a palette of cooler tones, paired with warm flecks in golden-veined stone, enhanced by the texture and tactility of materials, such as expressed wood-grained joinery and fluted oak.
The client’s love of pink was introduced in the layering of art and soft furnishings. The final gem on the ground floor; a powder room bathed in blush tones and sensuous forms.
Upstairs to the master suite, the palette transforms into a moody and masculine interior with deeper tones and richer materials, creating a more sultry space predominantly occupied at nighttime.
The end result, a space of coastal elegance; classical, yet contemporary, imbuing Tamarama with a touch of Woollahra.
SE DÉA acknowledges the traditional custodians of this land. We pay our respects to them, their culture and traditions. We recognise their connection to the land and honour their elders, both past and present.
