A typical coastal home in Sydney, Australia, designed by local interior design Studio Studio George and Mary Ellen Hudson. Bronte Residence redefines the quintessential coastal vernacular, sculpting its own aesthetics and ecclesiastical hues in response to its architectural form. Studio George and Mary Ellen Hudson designed the home's natural curves and spacious volume to express the owner's personal identity. Disregarding its coastal location, Bronte Residence takes a less typical aesthetic approach to the home with eclectic hues and textures.

Acting as the main gathering space, the kitchen, living and dining space opens up into a double-storey volume, opening then into the curated rear courtyard of interesting sculptural pieces that dot the space. The area is seen as embodying the main gravitational pull within the inner workings of the home, as a space to congregate, nurture, entertain and socialise together as a family and with occasional visitors. The oversized statement island bench is symbolic of this role and gestures an interaction with the space, while also anchoring it as a spine of sorts.

Spread across its three levels, the casual and informal natural of the spatial planning reflects a proximity to the ocean and is consequently reinterpreted in its own way. Throughout, a base palette of neutral tones weaves in and out of the varying spaces and levels, upward through the curved sculptural staircase and connecting the home through a muted calm. Eclectic items of personality then populate the spaces, bringing in colour, form and elements of curiosity as furniture, artwork and objects become a reflection of its owners and propose a differing sense of individuality to the journey through the home.
