BARWON RIVER HOUSE
This grand estate in Victoria is a country
house like no other. The two-storey, fivebedroom
residence is glamorous, luxurious
and sexy, a treasure trove of vibrant colours
and lavish finishes set against a dramatic
backdrop of black-stained timber, ebony
and brass.
The clients requested a warm, generous
residence for their growing family. Texture
and tone were important factors, with
intense tonal variations being preferred
to straight contrasts. Starting with blackstained
American oak – panelled on the
walls and in parquetry on the floors – Greg
Natale Design created a richly layered
family dream home.
