Megan Rawson MANAGING EDITOR

@meganmayrawson

In this issue, we reflect on past, present and future design. Beginning with a minimalist interpretation of a rural Belgian farmhouse, we move on to the reinvention of a distinctive 1980s family home and a pared-down penthouse on Queensland’s coast. We look to the future with the ongoing evolution of everyday design through Kasper Egelund, from Denmark’s Vipp and a group of notable interior designers and architects who are turning their talent to furniture design.

This marks my last issue in the role of managing editor and one that I’m proud to go out on. It has been an incredible and collaborative experience working with a dedicated team that is wildly talented.

Happy 2020 from all of us at est.

Tapping into its rich architectural past and 1980s New Wave bones, Doherty Design have skillfully commandeered an epic journey to reinvent this Melbourne family home.

back to the future INTERIOR DESIGN Doherty Design PHOTOGRAPHY Derek Swalwell VIDEO Richard Lipp WORDS Megan Rawson

Embarking on the significant redesign of a home by renowned Australian architect Peter McIntyre, Doherty Design, along with a team of talented collaborators set about honouring its architectural past, while adding a punchy modern twist.

Tasked with capturing the existing presence of the original 1980s design while balancing the growing needs of a family of five; Mardi Doherty, director of Doherty Design, had her work cut out for her.

The kitchen showcases a four-metre Cote D’Azur marble bench, where a brass seam articulates the join in the stone beautifully. Deep navy blue cabinetry and a Lambert & Fils pendant light add another layer of 1980s glamour.

“The existing home had many wonderful original features from the 1980s when it was built, which informed so much of the renovation,” Mardi says. “In essence, we have added to the perimeter of the home and kept the central core of the home intact.”

According to Mardi, the staircase and kitchen locations, as well as the new double garage, informed a lot of the spatial re-jigging.

While the relocation of the staircase and kitchen played a pivotal role in developing the new floor plan, upstairs was all about private bedroom quarters. Every family member has their own individually-designed private suite, differentiated through cabinetry, bathrooms and room layout.

The inclusion of two more bedrooms has resulted in a more harmonious home while providing ample space for three teenage girls.

Building designer Ari Alexander was tasked with the central spine of the home. Consisting of a twostorey void, the spine is complete with adjoining bridge and a pitched, glass roofline which creates an impressive atrium. “Maintaining the central void and the view from the front door all the way down to the pool was imperative,” Ari says.

An impressive collection of bold and contemporary artworks curated by art consultant Georgie Bruce builds focal points against the bursts of block colour. The home’s palette paints a picture of fun, frivolity and personality, splashing about peachy pinks, peacock greens and more grounding greys which make reference to the home’s 1980s beginnings. A careful selection of iconic and contemporary furniture and objects further complement the home’s organic curves to deliver a modern revision.

Large scale photographs by Korean artist Lee Kyoung-Hwa presides over the space that is complemented by an iconic set of Togo sofas designed by Michel Ducaroy from Ligne Roset, Beaubien Wall Double Shade lamps, an open fireplace and limed oak floors.

“ This enduring, inventive new design is a shrine to light, art and family life.”

– Mardi Doherty

The cohesive design narrative continues with floor-to-ceiling windows and doors which provide an easy entertainer’s flow to outdoor areas.

The outdoor areas include a sunken conversation and fire pit, lush tropical plantings and forest-like bamboo foliage by landscape designer Ben Scott.

A bold tangerine geometric sculpture by Caleb Shea adds a dramatic element to the lawn.

A caramel-hued Bonnie Armchair designed by Pierre Paulin from Ligne Roset provides contrast between peacock green carpet and the custom terrazzo floor.

Drawing from the building’s architectural heritage, Doherty Design have crafted a contemporary version of the 1980s vernacular, filtered through a modernist glamour lens. Not only does this family home’s metamorphosis pay respectful homage to its storied past, but it’s also now primed for the next chapter of its life.

“ Our clients are in the construction industry, and both have a great appreciation of architecture, and also spatial planning. We worked with them to create a floor plan that maintained most of the existing features of the home.”

–M ardi Doherty

“ The underlying framework that informed the design of the home was to retain and embrace the incredible ‘skeleton’ of the home and create a workable layout around this.”

A FLEMISH AFFAIR

In a country that cradles its revered design aesthetic, Belgian interior architect Pieter Vanrenterghem affirms his hold on the Flemish rural vernacular through a minimalist estate.

DESIGN Pieter Vanrenterghem PHOTOGRAPHY Thomas De Bruyne WORDS Sophie Lewis

On Belgium’s Western Front close to the French border, lies the village of Adinkerke. Flanking the historic village and not far from the Belgian coast is a country estate; one of the last farms in the region to be walled by water.

Local designer Pieter Vanrenterghem was asked to create a rural retreat, by bringing this former farmhouse and its cluster of outbuildings from beneath their agricultural veil. Offering an antidote to fleeting trends, Pieter asserts the hallmarks of modern Belgian design; simplicity, warmth and craftsmanship, bound by natural materials.

While no longer a working farm, Pieter set out to accentuate its Flemish pastoral history when transforming the main house and the adjoining four buildings. The main house spans open plan living, three bedrooms and three bathrooms, together with an additional two bedrooms with ensuites in the surrounding structures.

“Two of the buildings are designed as a bed and breakfast,” Pieter says. “The program of the main house needed to be able to adjust to this same purpose, in case it became too big in the future.”

By reducing elements down to the bare minimum, Pieter has ensured there is no tension between the classic and contemporary.

In creating a true destination of escape, Pieter converted the fourth building into a fitness space, complete with its own indoor swimming pool, while the fifth building became a dedicated party venue; a large, lofty hall designed to host large gatherings of more than 100 people.

Across all five buildings, the owners wanted to reflect the best of Belgian interior traditions.

“The owners requested an easy house to live in; distinguished by warmth and tactility, shaped by natural materials,” Pieter says. He proudly lists a number of natural surfaces from the Agripa Fine Muzillac Veine natural stone in the kitchen to the Travertine – both sourced from Belgian stone supplier Hullebusch.

The Moroccan Tadelakt lime plaster technique lines the floors in the main house, topped with sisal rugs and Pieter’s signature walnut timber joinery. He also selected dark oak herringbone flooring for the party hall, under restored exposed timber beams.

“The interiors are very clean and minimal and consist of specific alignments,” Pieter says.

“The use of natural materials softens these lines, making the spaces feel more human.”

The wet room is enclosed by steel framing. These strong black accents are echoed in the Vola tapware throughout.

“ The interiors are very clean and minimal and consist of specific alignments. The use of natural materials softens these lines, making the spaces feel more human.”

– Pieter Vanrenterghem

When asked about his favourite space within the project, Pieter says he’s drawn to the open plan living, dining and kitchen area in the main house.

A cosy, contemplative place to curl up by the custom fireplace, the living space plays host to a collection of design icons. From Michel Ducaroy’s Togo sofa for Ligne Roset, Pierre Jeanneret’s Easy Chair and Poul Kjærholm’s PK22 Easy Chair for Fritz Hansen, to the Austere Floor light by homegrown talent Hans Verstuyft for Trizo21.

When we seek to define what luxury design means today, there has been a refreshing shift away from excess, to the quiet, simple and slow. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Belgium; a nation that continues to produce some of the world’s most renowned design aesthetes. Pieter Vanrenterghem joins this esteemed crowd, capturing the essence of rural timelessness in grand scale and stature.

new heights CJH Studio achieve penthouse perfection with this serene apartment redesign on the Queensland coast.

INTERIOR DESIGN CJH Studio PHOTOGRAPHY Cathy Schusler WORDS Melia Rayner

Every now and again an apartment that reimagines the potential of a penthouse comes along, like this beautifully-modernised beachside apartment in Queensland by CJH Studio.

Built in the late 1980s, the home had remained mostly untouched in the decades since.

Purchased by a small but growing family, the design brief emphasised creating space and practicality with limited planning alterations. Add in the quick design period requirement, short build time, existing structural inflexibility and CJH Studio’s interstate location and it’s even more remarkable that the finished project excels in establishing a pared-back, renewed and confident family home.

The kitchen features Bosch appliances and Grazia&Co Iva stools.

The minimal and soothing material palette is both a foil to the home’s Queensland surrounds and a strong nod to its original building era. The travertine flooring was retained and restored, while the addition of new internal glass bricks pays homage to the building’s original foyer.

Soft curves and modernity begin with the incredible staircase, offset throughout the home and balanced with clean lines, creamy tones and an abundance of natural light, thanks to the striking double-height void and mezzanine.

Using their expert eye for curation, CJH Studio completely refurbished the interior. Continuing the natural palette with touches of linen and oak, CJH Studio made key contemporary design acquisitions like the Flos 265 lamp by Paolo Rizzatto, Ligne Roset Pumpkin Armchair and the Thonet Bentwood chairs to add personality.

Custom joinery offers the residents a place to showcase special pieces, while concealed storage provides space for both the practical and delightful.

And of course, the inclusion of Linear Standard pieces – designed by CJH Studio principal Cassie James-Herrick – add polish and sophistication to even the smallest details, ensuring the timeless style of this penthouse for years to come.

where architects live: jorge soriano lรกzaro

ARCHITECT Jorge Soriano Lรกzaro PHOTOGRAPHY Alicia Macias WORDS Yvette Caprioglio

The home of architect Jorge Soriano Lázaro and his publicist wife Fátima Ateyeh in the Cabanyal district of Valencia immediately instils a sense of calm through light-filled transformative, open spaces and an inherently Mediterranean DNA. Light, connection and transformation are the three definitive hallmarks of Jorge’s design ethos and while he admits the most complicated thing is to design for themselves, the couple’s home is a testament to their discipline and creativity.

Valencia is known for its light so it has been optimised at every turn. The openness and multipurpose function of the spaces makes for a natural sense of being connected and a feeling of being everywhere, wherever you are in the house, without tagging a specific place for a specific purpose. This is clear in the kitchen which also serves as a dual area for socialising and working, made for cooking, reading or having a glass of wine with friends.

“ Light is the greatest design tool we have and is the one that helped us to develop our home.”

– Architect Jorge Soriano Lázaro

A beautiful balance of fluid lines and angular forms are purposefully juxtaposed resulting in lines and shades, achieving a subtle balance that is representative of Mediterranean culture and the way the couple live.

The intention from the outset was for the pool in the courtyard to naturally draw the eye outside and for the greenery in the home to bring the outside in.

This is enhanced by uniform flooring from inside to out and through verticality, with greenery that cascades from the top floor down to the studio and on the shelves that line the stairs.

The house keeps a neutral colour through its main structure and composition. Colourful and more intense touches in the details change according to the couple’s mood, experience and travels, so while the appearance of the house changes with them, its essence and personality never do.

The transparency, sense of sharing and connecting in everything they do is key to the couple’s personality and it seamlessly weaves its way through this hidden oasis in the midst of a vibrant neighbourhood.

“There was no space delimitation as we normally understand it.

It was conceived as a whole space and in line with it a natural transition between the spaces.”

– Jorge Soriano Lázaro

Design Driven We highlight six renowned architects and interior designers who are applying their talent to custom contemporary masterpieces.

WORDS Sophie Lewis

TOTEM FIONA LYNCH director of Fiona Lynch Office Photography by Lillie Thompson Fiona Lynch revealed Totem with the launch of Work Shop; an exhibition space in the designer’s studio dedicated to celebrating collaborations with like-minded creatives. Totem explores the parallel practices of architecture and fashion design, combining a hand-finished steel structure with a translucent fabric veil. Openings at every angle offer opportunity to exhibit objects and artefacts.

MARBLE DINING TABLE MADELEINE BLANCHFIELD director of Madeleine Blanchfield Architects Photography by Anson Smart and Michele Aboud Madeleine Blanchfield’s custom marble dining table, designed for her own home, was inspired by the work of Italian architect and industrial designer Angelo Mangiarotti. The monolithic marble table reflects the simplicity and craftsmanship of their residential projects, where structural systems are honest and explicit, as in their architecture.

TRE MEZZO COLLECTION JEAN-PIERRE BIASOL director and founder of Biasol Photography courtesy of Biasol

“Tre Mezzo emerged from the need for a versatile stool that we could specify for indoor and outdoor use, particularly in residential and commercial projects that demand hardwearing, high-quality products.�

As a strong supporter of Australian design, JeanPierre Biasol says they were constantly searching for products to easily customise, modify and specify in their projects. The studio decided to meet their own request with Tre Mezzo; a range of stools and tables for indoor and outdoor spaces. Offering more than 700 combinations, the stools come in three heights, multiple curated materials and colours.

ST VINCENTS PLACE WINE ROOM TABLE BRODERICK ELY director of B.E. Architecture Photography by Derek Swalwell

Broderick Ely conceived the St Vincents Place Wine Room Table as a juxtaposition of seemingly disparate elements. Featured inside est magazine issue #34, the table references artist Isamu Noguchi with its sculptural soft curves and rounded edges, while the simple interlocking slab construction is reminiscent of a 1970s kit furniture piece.

THE STILTS TABLE DYLAN FARRELL director of Dylan Farrell Design Photography by Dylan Farrell Dylan Farrell took inspiration from the fierce movements of models’ legs on the fashion runway to design the Stilts Table. The table appears as a balancing act with its splaying base, made from cured and laminated timber. Fabricated to fit like a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle, the Stilts Table can be specified in a variety of shapes and sizes.

THE PRINCE COLLECTION IVA FOSCHIA director of IF Architecture Photography by Jessica Lindsey

“ The diversity of the Prince Table mirrors my own love of entertaining. It’s generous, it’s convivial and invites conversation and good times.”

Iva Foschia designed the Australian-made Prince Collection for Grazia and Co, to challenge the conventions of large, rectangular tables.

The Prince Collection is inspired by Art Deco style and shaped by French architect and designer Charlotte Perriand’s approach to the ‘art of living’.

ISSUE #35 / REGULAR FEATURE

MY SPACE KASPER EGELUND Part of the Danish, family-run design firm Vipp, CEO Kasper Egelund lives a stone’s throw from Copenhagen in the leafy neighbourhood of Søvang, with his wife Heidi and their three children Mie, Karla and Otto.

Nestled on the edge of the Baltic sea, Kasper and his family enlisted the talent of architect Mads Lund and interior architect Studio David Thulstrup to build their five-bedroom modernist villa. A core design element is the floor-to-ceiling glazing throughout the home ensuring the surrounding seascape and its definitive seasons inform the home’s interior.

MY SPACE KASPER EGELUND

WHERE IS YOUR HOME LOCATED AND WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD? We live in Dragør; a small, quiet suburb of Copenhagen. It’s a place by the sea and close to nature. The best part is the bicycle route to work – 18 km in pure nature without any cars. It’s the perfect start to the day and on the way home, it gives you time to reflect on the day, clear your head and listen to some good podcasts.

HOW IS YOUR HOME A REFLECTION OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY? It reflects simplicity. With three kids, we need to keep things neat and simple. The open spaces hopefully symbolise inclusivity for anyone visiting.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONAL INTERIOR STYLE? Simple and classic with a twist of colour, texture and design pieces. In the main living space, windows fill this area with an abundance of natural light which is important to us, since we really embrace nature.

WHAT MAKES YOUR HOUSE A HOME? The fact that it’s ours. The combination of location, the exterior architecture and interior arrangement makes it unique to us.

WHICH SPACE OF YOUR HOME DO YOU GRAVITATE TO THE MOST AND WHY? The kitchen. This is where the family comes together, and the kitchen island makes room for everyone to attend the preparation of a meal.

We have just installed the new Vipp sofa in the kitchen, which is a comfortable seating spot and gives the space a new dimension.

HOW DOES YOUR HOME INSPIRE YOU AND THE WORK YOU DO? Working with design every day, I use and test a lot of our own designs which provides me with insight and inspiration. The value of a Vipp product is measured on how happy people are using it in their daily life; and by using them myself, I’m more aware.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE PERSONAL POSSESSIONS? The built-in bookshelf. I love reading.

WHICH SPACE DO YOU LIKE TO RELAX IN? I like to read books and newspapers in the evening on the sofa next to my bookshelf.

It is my quiet moment when the rest of the family is asleep and I can look out to the ocean.
