Taylors Bay House, located in the northern Bays of Sydney, Australia, is a three-storey family home. Justine Hugh-Jones transformed it into a beachfront home with Brazilian subtropical and modernist touches. The natural scenery adds green meaning, like a partial green ocean. High and low scattered, green green tricui between, a retro nostalgic building hidden in the time, leaving people endless reverie.
The first floor has a Brazilian sub-tropical layout. Retaining the original old walls of the building, the wooden boards serve as the ceiling, rugged and natural. Heavy colors and colors are interspersed in the transparent space, like a jewel box, which contrasts with the outdoor landscape of lakes and mountains. Pieces with strong colors stand out in this house, but the designer also used a cool matte black to balance the colors.
The kitchen shares the same space with the dining room. The color is more modest than the living room, but this highlights the texture and nobility of the blue velvet dining chairs in the dining room. The two or three cloud chandeliers above add a sense of lightness to the space.
The floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor give a bright view of Sydney Bay. The shades of stools, chairs and pillows in the lounge area are consistent with the outdoor greenery, blurring the boundary between indoors and outdoors. The chandelier in imitation of a pine cone shape strengthens the connection with nature and is cleverly integrated into this brown space, creating a cozy moringa cottage. The bedroom puts more emphasis on the comfort of the living room. Blue and white are used as the main color palette, dispersing the gaudy pomp and luxury, leaving only a warm and comfortable home to soothe the tiredness and tedium of the daytime.
The reflection of the towel is "rolled" and "dismantled" into a yellow paint, in the blue and green tiles created the ocean atmosphere, constantly spreading out. Taylors Bay House emphasizes a sense of family atmosphere and provides a new living experience for Sydney Bay life through the combination of Brazilian subtropical and Moroccan colors.
