“I’m going to be briefly hitting you with some house spam to show you our home which we just can’t get used to,” enthused Guy on Instagram.
“The house is all about privacy from the front but an enormous amount of natural light from the back. We made it clear from the start that we wanted loads of concrete and black steel – toughness in the architecture which is softened by the styling and landscaping.”
Keen to take a look around? Let’s get started…
Exterior
Taking to Instagram, Jules Sebastian said that “every last detail was important to us when we designed our home. We wanted to inside to be just as beautiful as the outside.”
Bathroom
The luxe bathroom is a vision in terrazzo and glossy black surfaces. The sleek lines are softened by curved brass tapware and a pair of round mirrors.
Staircase
A white helical staircase designed by architect Joe Snell takes centre stage in the home, providing a perfectly theatrical backdrop to Guy’s piano.
“I am constantly side swiped that this staircase lives in my house!” said Jules.
“It’s like a marshmallow-y piece of art right there when you open the front door!”
Performance space
Floor to ceiling windows allow light to flood into the living areas.
“Since moving into our house, raising the blinds and letting that light in, the vibe is lighter, brighter and lifts my spirits.
“It’s pretty safe to say that @viridianglassaustralia and @awsaustralia nailed the ‘natural light’ brief! These windows are doing their job!” said Jules.
Living room
An expanse of concrete and black joinery sets the scene in the living room, which features a wall-mounted TV and an Escea fireplace. Kresta blinds come in handy on a hot day.
Boys’ room
In this video, Jules takes us on a tour of her sons’ room, which features a bunk bed and custom Freedom wardrobes.
Kitchen
The monochrome palette extends to the contemporary Freedom kitchen, which features an expanse of grey stone for the benchtop.
“This is a picture of it pre-ISO without the piles of husband, children and I splashed all over it,” said Jules.
“I’ve always thought of the kitchen as the heart of the home, and now more than ever.”
Dining room
Black custom cabinetry runs the length of the dining room, which features a long walnut table. Framed artworks and sculptures add colour and texture to the space.
Pool
The outdoor area has been given 5-star resort makeover, featuring a pergola, barbecue area and decking.
Powder room
A distinctive pedestal basin and floor-mounted mixer creates a modern mood in the powder room.
“It’s kinda hard to see in photos these intricately geometric tiles that still manage to look minimal,” said Guy.
Indoor/outdoor entertaining space
The living areas open up to create “one mega indoor/outdoor entertaining space”, said Guy.
“Now we just need to make some friends to invite over!” he jokes.
