Shanxi, circa 1920 In a classic Chinese style, this delightful cabinet has been refinished in a lovely distressed cream lacquer. Cabinets like this were used in ladies' sleeping quarters during the Qing dynasty as dressing tables and so are referred to as 'ladies' cabinets'. The central cabinet and doors and drawers either side provide useful storage space for personal effects. The characteristic, circular brass hardware is new, recently added to the central double doors with matching drop handles on each of the drawers and smaller doors. Elongated legs that end in horse hoof feet add an elegance to the overall look, making this an attractive accent piece as a dressing table in a bedroom or as a console in the living area of a modern home.

We were commissioned to create a contemporary single-storey dwelling with four bedrooms, three main living spaces, gym and enough car spaces for up to 8 vehicles/workshop. Due to the slope of the land the 8 vehicle garage/workshop was placed in a basement level which also contained a bathroom and internal lift shaft for transporting groceries and luggage. The owners had a lovely northerly aspect to the front of home and their preference was to have warm bedrooms in winter and cooler living spaces in summer. So the bedrooms were placed at the front of the house being true north and the livings areas in the southern space. All living spaces have east and west glazing to achieve some sun in winter. Being on a 3 acre parcel of land and being surrounded by acreage properties, the rear of the home had magical vista views especially to the east and across the pastured fields and it was imperative to take in these wonderful views and outlook. We were very fortunate the owners provided complete freedom in the design, including the exterior finish. We had previously worked with the owners on their first home in Dural which gave them complete trust in our design ability to take this home. They also hired the services of a interior designer to complete the internal spaces selection of lighting and furniture. The owners were truly a pleasure to design for, they knew exactly what they wanted and made my design process very smooth. Hornsby Council approved the application within 8 weeks with no neighbor objections. The project manager was as passionate about the outcome as I was and made the building process uncomplicated and headache free.

En la entrada de la vivienda, colocamos un aparador y un espejo de los dueños, que acompañamos con una alfombra en diferentes tonos de verde con un falso desgastado y una lámpara de forma orgánica, como es el bambú, en un rojo claro y una pantalla en tonos ocres que contrasta con los tonos verdes.
