Building on its European-inspired architecture, this once single-story dwelling, and now a two-story 5 bedroom house, was transformed inside and out to accommodate a growing family, for generations to come. With an eclectic, vibrant collection of paintings and objet d’art to house, a textured, neutral palette was selected.

An indoor/outdoor room extended the boundaries of the home and featured a fireplace, underfloor heating and an exquisite ceiling with timber beams sourced from an old bridge. Travertine flooring, used throughout the home, seamlessly blends the inside with the outside. South African influences are embraced throughout the cohesive design and can be noticed throughout. 

Achieving a timeless elegance with classical French furnishings, it is the love of travel that inspires much of the details to be admired. Custom-made wrought iron railings were designed for the outdoor areas and much consideration and effort was put into finding the perfect fittings to complement them.

This classic family home was finished off in the finest style, with a bespoke hand-carved French oak door. Marylou’s passion for designing homes that last a lifetime has ensured that this home is still perfect and adored by everyone in the family, a timeless elegance that even the youngest members can enjoy.

Stephanie Nadel

Assosciate Interior Architect

What makes Stephanie Nadel’s success story so remarkable is that she has come so far, so fast.
Stephanie, the Associate Interior Architect at Marylou Sobel Interior Design, has gained more experience, and handled more responsibilities in the past ten years than many other design professionals take on in their careers.

Stephanie, a multi-talented full service professional, carried out a wide variety of commercial and residential design tasks while she was based in London. She worked for three prominent interior design firms, as well as on her own, and served clients around the world.

In the process, she helped complete within 12 weeks the design and installation of a penthouse suite on The World, the luxury residential yacht that circumnavigates the globe. Prior to this Stephanie lead the full refurbishment of a lavish, Grade II listed, five bedroom home in the Hampstead Garden suburbs in London.

During her five years in London, she worked with Gensler, the world’s largest collaborative design, planning and consulting firm; MoreySmith, a leading design and architecture studio, and Fiona Barratt Interiors, an award-winning luxury design firm.

Assisting with projects for those firms, launching her own residential practice, and interacting with vendors worldwide provided her with project management, creative problem solving, sourcing, technical and other skills that benefit her clients today.

Stephanie earned her Bachelor of Interior Architecture degree at the University of New South Wales.

While she is adept in several aspects of design, she’s particularly interested in the challenge of refurbishing existing spaces. “I enjoy the problem solving that’s involved with existing buildings,” she says. “Although it is always a privilege to design alongside a team to create new and innovative structures, I love creating meaningful design from older properties and taking inspiration from heritage details.”
