Architecture tour visits Nexus Designs project

Stephen Crafti and his bus load of Architecture devotees rolled into Portsea this weekend.

More than 50 people enjoyed the blissful surrounds of this beach house and listened to the three principal collaborators, Sonia Simpfendorfer (project Interior Designer), Rob Watson, (project Architect) and Fiona Brockhoff, (project Landscape Architect) talk about their involvement in the project.

Our flexible interior space accommodated the large audience.

WHAT PAINT COLOUR IS THAT?

Our most frequently asked question is - what paint colour is that? Here are some of our favourites. This week we're sharing our dynamic, vibrant and ever fabulous reds.
 

IN THE RED

Don't be afraid to use Red; when applied with skill it adds life to any interior space.  We start with a neutral background and then apply red deliberately as an accent to create vitality.

 

 

 A brilliant red sliding door was the fun inspiration

 for other items in this fresh, casual beach house.

 

 

 

The same brilliant red is applied to the top and

 base of this simple, no fuss bedside table.

 

 

Red is a surprise element found in this very
 black and white kitchen once the cupboard
 doors are opened.

 

The finely detailed white bookcase is enhanced
 by the dominant red wall colour.


 

 

When you walk into the into this entry the glow
 from the red cabinet is very welcoming.

 

 The detail of the red door grille is a powerful

feature of this house.


 

The exterior of this country house is punctuated

 by the red window in the courtyard entrance

 - a surprise addition.
