Crossways house c 1908, a classic of the Federation Arts and Crafts style was stripped bare of much of its detail. This project has skilfully and sensitively re-inserted elements such as the dark veneer panelling which reference the original in a contemporary and subtle way.
New spaces have been clothed in the stunning Eveneer Xilo 2 Flamed Black veneer, a dark, cool, rich timber with a subtle yet striking grain, the perfect shade—not too grey, not too warm. The outcome is a superb marriage of high-end finishes and masterful detailing, a testament to the triptych dialogue and commitment between designer, supplier and joiner.
In Isabelle’s words, “the veneer is stunning and perfectly complements, in a quiet way, the other luxurious and natural finishes—timbers and stones.”
