PADDINGTON MAKEOVER

This grand Paddington Terrace features a dynamic floor plan of exquisitely proportioned period rooms on entry and upper levels. However, this young family lacked modern spaces for essential informal living. Embark Design radically reconfigured a series of smaller rooms on the lower level to create a vibrant and open new kitchen and living area that flows onto the previously under-utilised rear terrace & garden. 


Inspired by the time happily enjoyed in this previously under-utilised area, a bold new landscaping project is now underway....

"GIALLO" APARTMENTS, EAST SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA



Embark Design was engaged to furnish and style an apartment within the recently completed "Giallo" development in the Stanley Street precinct of East Sydney. Classic modernist pieces were combined with handwoven fabrics and rugs in ethnic patterns to evoke the textures of the city laneway which the apartment overlooked.

TOBYS CAFE, POTTS POINT, SYDNEY

With Toby's Potts Point poised to stay open in the evenings, a new look was needed that could evolve from a vibrant cafe space during the day to an intimate wine bar in the evening.

Embark Design clad the interior with plywood stained in Resene "Black Pepper" for warmth, while a yellow leather banquette and recycled painted stools were introduced for punches of colour & character.  

Against this backdrop, Embark featured light industrial elements of brass, copper, bronze and glass.

BEFORE & AFTER: ONE OF OUR EARLY TRIUMPHS

This little gem of a room was a diamond in the rough for a discerning professional couple whose taste had outgrown the traditional retail options.























Playing against a leafy aspect and natural light, integrated storage elements and a warmer classic palette were introduced. A geometric print and window treatment combine for a restful and sophisticated urban sanctuary.
