It was our client’s desire that we bring more life, natural light and colour into this double-story freestanding home in Melbourne, and that was what we achieved for this family of five. The interiors of the home were given a complete overhaul and stripped back to the bare bones giving our team a blank canvas to work with. Our client specifically requested that as part of the design process we work with them to procure artwork for the home.

With the introduction of a subtle neutral palette, evocative use of colour, texture and materiality we were able to achieve a remarkable transformation for our clients, whilst giving the interiors a sense of permeance, as if they always looked that way. A special request was a whisky bar for the family room, right there when it is needed, perfect for storage and glassware.

Custom-designed furniture, rich textiles and materials and new art give this home heart and provide an elevated level of comfort, whilst new bathrooms and bespoke cabinetry throughout contribute to a functional yet sophisticated appeal. The transformation far exceeded the client’s expectations, proclaiming that they felt like they were walking into a beautiful hotel the first time they entered their transformed space.

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.”
