A passion for art, music and swimming are just some of the elements that thread through the life of Sydney architect Nick Tobias. The MCA Foundation chair and board member is passionate about his involvement with the contemporary art world and inspired by the musicians with whom he frequently jams, but he is equally enthusiastic about his newly renovated home in a beachside enclave that provides ready access for the “water-sports junkie”. Furnished with a judicious selection of timeless pieces that exude quality and style the home is relaxed and open, perfect for engaging with the community to which he now feels so connected.
