Lindi Reynolds & Co were appointed as Architectural Interior Designers to this 512 square metre new build residential property for the CEO of a major Blue Tech company and her family.

Working with the footprint created by Mary Hackett & Associates the designers were asked to consider every interior aspect of the home, and offer complete solutions which would be stylistically aligned with the client’s family’s character and style sensibilities. To this effect, Lindi Reynolds & Co were invited to suggest changes to the internal modelling of the interior. All interior aspects were to be worked with, creating complete and fully considered, timeless, classic, elegant and interesting spaces that flowed seamlessly from one to the other.

Through the design process the client was looking to create a calm and tranquil  home, which exuded grace and timeless elegance to provide a haven from the long hours spent in business, a status reward for hard work and endeavour, but at the same time recognising it as a welcoming family home.

The staircase was an intriguing and challenging opportunity for Lindi Reynolds & Co, as the client asked them to design it to work with the triple volume space that was inherited from the architect. It is a central feature to the house and creates a dramatically stylish yet, welcoming statement on entering the house. The designers intended to create a sense of theatre with the staircase itself and the lighting of the space. They proposed a lighting installation of coloured glass which acts as a sculptural form, and which adds interest at every level. The relationship between the staircase and the lighting installation is fluid and dynamic.

The design scheme outcome was so successful because Lindi Reynolds & Co ran a series of intensive design workshops with the client to understand and distil their unique design sensibilities. As soon as this was understood, the brief was clear, and they set about creating a comprehensive set of designs which flowed seamlessly from one space to the other.
