Sherwood Design Project
Casablanca
This Mosman Park residence is a masterful blend of modern design and Spanish Colonial influences, offering a timeless interpretation of heritage architecture with contemporary refinement.
Perched on the Swan River with breathtaking 180-degree views, the home is designed to embrace its stunning surroundings while creating a serene yet luxurious retreat. Every detail has been meticulously considered, from the custom joinery to the hand-selected floor tiles, ensuring a seamless fusion of craftsmanship and refinement.
Aged Beauty, Timeless Craft
Historical grandeur meets contemporary sophistication throughout the interiors, where carefully curated furniture pieces have been expertly treated to achieve an authentic aged appearance. Distressing, hand-painting and staining techniques enhance the natural beauty of the materials, imbuing each space with depth, warmth, and a sense of history. The result is an inviting, lived-in aesthetic that balances elegance with comfort.
The grand entrance is a striking introduction to the home, featuring a striking foot sculpture, hand-carved mirrors, and bespoke seating, setting the tone for the layered design within. Flowing seamlessly from the formal dining room to an alfresco balcony, the layout is designed for effortless entertaining and relaxed riverside living. A luxurious first-floor guest wing completes the design, ensuring comfort and privacy for visitors while embracing Perth’s mild climate and indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
A Statement of Grandeur
Drawing inspiration from Spanish-Hacienda style and Renaissance architecture, the home also reflects the refined sensibilities of renowned contemporary designers such as Jake Arnold, Kelly Wearstler, and the late Australian designer Garth Barnett. Rich materiality, layered textures, and a thoughtfully curated palette of finishes contribute to a sophisticated yet livable retreat, where every element has been chosen with intent.
This home is the embodiment of ‘liveable luxe’—where elegance and comfort are seamlessly intertwined in every detail.
