This home is the definition of pale and interesting. The 188sqm beauty is a clever collaboration between the owner, Andrew Sexton Architecture, and Planit Construction united through one white-hot vision: a modern Parisian-style monotone home that allows the owner’s art and furniture to shine. Texture, both visual and tactile, is what transforms this deceptively complex white rectangular home into a treasure box. The cladding features an icy-coloured custom brick on the upper level with plaster beneath and breeze blocks at the entrance creating depth and glorious shadows as the light streams in. At night, outdoor lighting from Artemide makes these details glow. Thirty test pots went into selecting the perfect interior colour in the three bedrooms, two bathrooms and living areas. But it’s the details that elevate this white-on-white-on-white aesthetic, with steel joinery, custom flooring and high-gloss cabinetry in the kitchen by German Kitchens all colour matched to the paint. Contrasting materials such as vintage-style anaglypta wallpaper paired with an ultramodern steel staircase add to the visual richness. This white house is anything but vanilla.
