Point Piper Penthouse occupies the upper level of the heritage-listed Kilmory Estate, one of Sydney's significant Federation Arts and Crafts properties. Originally established in 1913 and subsequently adapted into a collection of residences, the estate provides an extraordinary architectural setting for this contemporary apartment.

Our brief was to create a sophisticated, highly individual home for clients with an appreciation for contemporary design, art and exceptional craftsmanship, while respecting the historic significance of the building.

The interior design draws upon the decorative language of the Arts and Crafts movement, interpreting traditional architectural detailing through a distinctly modern lens. Timber wall panelling, bespoke joinery and natural stone establish a connection to the building's origins, while a bold monochromatic palette introduces a striking contemporary sensibility.

At the centre of the open-plan living spaces, a sculptural black Poliform kitchen provides a dramatic focal point, with richly veined stone and a striking Poliform kitchen. Contemporary furniture, globally sourced decorative lighting and bespoke silk rugs introduce texture, warmth and unexpected moments of playfulness.

Throughout, carefully integrated storage and refined architectural detailing allow the interiors to function effortlessly while maintaining a strong visual identity.

The completed penthouse embodies our studio's approach to heritage interior design, demonstrating how historic architecture can provide a compelling foundation for a thoroughly contemporary and deeply personal home.
