PART TWO - INTERIOR DESIGN
Texturally rich spaces imbued with timeless quality.
Elegant, alluring and delightfully tactile – Fabric’s interiors cultivate a heightened quality of life. Bespoke joinery and naturally rich materials harmonise to create an exceptional sense of artistry, enriched by expansive proportions and open-plan spaces. Awash with sweeping city views, lush green vistas and abundant natural light, these finely detailed residences are underpinned by ever-present visual connections to the surrounding landscape.
There is a certain magic that occurs when a project’s architect and interior designer work out of the same office. Designed by Cera Stribley from the outside in, Fabric is rooted in a distinctive and holistic design language that is carried elegantly from the facade through to the interior spaces.
Interior Design Statement
“Defined by a gentle palette of soft greys and warm creams, Fabric’s interior design aesthetic is one of contemporary elegance. Natural materials such as travertine, timber and polished plaster mediate between timeless sophistication and an intentional restraint which awaits the personal style of future residents.
Across a free-flowing layout thoughtfully planned for social connection in living spaces and a calming intimacy in bedrooms, Fabric’s residences are sensorially engaged yet minimal homes where materials have been selected for both durability and beauty. Natural light washes across a topography of neutral surfaces where subtle imperfections share thresholds with uniform planes. Carefully integrated joinery and fireplaces evoke an elevated cosiness which creates an undeniable feeling of ‘home’.
Large expanses of fixed and operable glazing blur boundaries between interior and exterior with the fundamental inclusion of private terraces becoming extensions of breathable living spaces. Fabric’s location allows for expansive views, creating an experience of habitation that is simultaneously an open embrace to the exterior as well as a private oasis hovering above the urban milieu.
The guiding philosophy of Fabric’s interior design is to establish homes which provide a meaningful role for modern liveability. With a language that finds its strength in a consistent dedication to aesthetic simplicity alongside unwavering attention to detail, homes cultivate an atmosphere that feels familiar and comfortable without eschewing luxury. The sum of their parts, the residences merge high quality materials, fixtures, fittings and appliances with an overarching consideration for minimalist geometries and fluid navigation. The result is an infusion of contemporary character and enduring modesty.”
The essence of sophistication and comfort.
Fabric’s open-plan living, kitchen and dining areas present an exemplary standard of luxury. Appointed with timeless marble surfaces, sleek European appliances and cleverly concealed storage options, the kitchen has been designed to revitalise the daily tasks of cooking and cleaning whilst perfectly catering to the entertainer’s lifestyle. The living area is homely yet sophisticated, featuring an opulent integrated fireplace, beautifully crafted stone plinth and generous display shelves. Here, the walls have been lightly textured to create an added layer of depth. Spilling out onto a large terrace, this artfully designed space fosters an unrivalled indoor-outdoor living experience.
Exceptional Views
Blurring the boundaries between inside and out, Fabric’s light-filled spaces are framed by walls of soaring windows – allowing the surrounding landscape to become a feature within homes. Admire spectacular views of the city lights at night – a magnificent backdrop for entertaining – or gaze out over the tree canopies and heritage rooftops, stretching all the way to the bay.
High-end Finishes
Collaborating with the industry’s leading suppliers and manufacturers, Fabric is distinguished by a high-end finishes palette sourced from the earth. Hardwood timber floors bring warmth to the living environment whilst providing a durable foundation for modern living. An assortment of natural stones have been incorporated into the design – from timeless grey marble to tactile travertine – providing an enticing sensory experience at every turn.
