Making the user feel good is at the heart of projects designed by Kathryn Robson and Chris Rak, whose own Melbourne home is an exercise in restraint and pure good taste.
WHAT HAS INFORMED AND INSPIRED YOUR INTERIORS STYLE?
We’re responsible for both the architecture and the interior design of our projects, so the interiors are largely informed by the architecture. Whether it’s a new build or a renovation, we strive for complete harmony between architecture and interiors rather than an interior that’s inserted into a disconnected space. We’re also crazy about natural light, and we try to blur the line between inside and outside with green landscaped vistas throughout the home.
