Bayside House

–

The restoration of Bayside House by Cera Stribley uplifts the heritage home with a moody, yet calming, aesthetic. The addition of characterful furniture and elegant stying by Marsha Golemac is emblematic of its sleek stateliness.

The original heritage home was kept in tact, an outdated extension was removed. In its place a minimal addition wrapped in Japanese design principles was constructed.

Multiple living zones are king

With black cabinetry and moody tones, the new addition is calming and welcoming. With multiple living zones through the home there is always space to find a secluded spot to zone out and unwind.

Sculptural seating galore

Enter the open-plan living-dining area and immediately notice both black and white feature walls. In fact, the black wall grounds the space, while the white wall revitalises. An unexpectedly chic DS-266 Yoga recliner chair catches the eye. Who knew a recliner chair could look so chic?

Meanwhile, the siting room in the heritage part of the home evokes a light, bright, airy vibe. With soft spots to lounge – such as on Wittmann’s Vuleta sofa – the modern and heritage references tie together beautifully.

Moreover, sofa seating continues to add impact in the sleep space. In the bedroom a collectable 1980s Ligne Roset Plumy armchair can be found. It’s soft cushiony seats covered in sleek dove grey velvet.

A bathroom entirely of marble

However the all-marble bathroom is a pinnacle of joy in the home. From the walls with bookended marble slabs, to the matching floors and almost camouflaged bathtub and cabinets – the room is divine. Monochromatic. Simple. And oh so inviting.

Bayside House is a calm home with minimalistic lines and references. Very livable. In fact, it is an impeccably chic haven from the busy bayside world.
