Inspired by the exquisite surroundings of the Toaster Building, this project came with a brief to bring the outside in. This oasis amid the hustle and bustle of Sydney Harbour is one of multiple homes we have designed for this client, not their primary residence but somewhere that they still feel completely at home as soon as they walk through the door. The transformation of this stunning 3 bedroom apartment involved the use of colour, texture and pattern to amplify its natural light and spectacular views.

Each space is home to a different vantage point, whether that be the landmark Harbour Bridge, the natural beauty of the Botanical Gardens or the iconic Sydney Opera House. Embracing the subtle eccentricities of the client’s unique personality and enjoyment of colour and pattern, each space was designed to complement the breathtaking views. We re-designed the entire apartment (excluding the kitchen/bathroom) with paint, and wallpaper, completely furnishing each space, staining existing timber flooring throughout and all window treatments, to frame those picture-perfect views. 

Bedrooms all have a unique design to complement the outside vantage point. It was important that the bedrooms were not too busy, ensuring that the design resulted in relaxed, calming spaces that remained interesting within the overall cohesiveness of the entire design. “Marylou is a real pleasure to work with. Suffice it to say that she has achieved wonderful results and exceeded our expectations every time. The end results have been outstanding and are admired by all our friends who visit the apartments. We have just given Marylou our fourth project and are very excited to do so. We look forward very much to working with her and to be inspired by her.” – Client (click here to read more).

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.”
