THE BIG REVEAL

Meet the faces scooping firsts in the Belle Fanuli Interior Design Awards. reveal

- JUDY PASCOE

WITH ECCENTRICITY and functionality in equal measure the Garden House by Arent&Pyke defies description except that it is a winning formula. Garnering first prizes for Best Residential Interior (sponsored by Luxaflex), Best Residential Kitchen Design (sponsored by Winning Appliances) and Best Residential Interior – Readers’ Choice (sponsored by Fanuli) for Garden House as well as being named Interior Designers of the Year are fitting accolades for Juliette Arent and Sarah-Jane Pyke’s body of work. A certain magic happens in their projects – a heady concoction of glamour, humour, quirky touches and feminine embellishment. In fashioning the Garden House to comply with the clients’ passion for art, colour and gardens, disparate elements combined to create a timeless scenario reminiscent of an Italian villa yet firmly ensconced in the Sydney landscape. Openness, connection to nature, esoteric furniture and artworks are hallmarks of the scheme. The almost monastic nature of the spaces promotes tranquillity, emphasised by rough-rendered walls and cool chequerboard terrazzo floor tiles, and offset by the voluptuous garden outside. arentpyke.com
