A Life Individual - Gillianne Griffiths

I was a professional musician for most of my life, a trained pianist,organist and conductor. For me the transition to interior design was natural. As a musician you think about classical forms and harmony. It’s the same indesign, we consider composition, shapes, rhythm and form and how they createthe harmony of a room. The two disciplines really do go hand in hand. Gillianne Griffiths - A Life Individual 

A Life Individual - Andrea Sullivan

Colour is so important to me, it is the foundation and inspiration for my art.With a young family, our home has to nurture us, it has to be practical andadapt and change as we evolve – and it has to make us all feel happy.It really is that simple. Andrea Sullivan - A Life Individual 

A Life Individual - Megan Morton

For me, making a magical house is a bit like cooking. It is never justone ingredient that makes it great, and a lot of it has to do with the love,with the care, attention and time - you just can’t do it fast, it’s part of anongoing story that is largely autobiographical. Plus great homes have neverbeen just about the architecture or the furniture, it’s about who is in itand how you live - the people at your dinner table, the friends on your sofa.Great things are just not enough, it’s how you activate them and bringthem to life that is the most important thing.

A Life Individual - Dr. Trevor Leong

Each room of our home is individual so we can retreat to find our own space. It is an oasis. One of our favourite pieces of furniture is the Bend sofa. I know my Sarah likes it because it's bouncy but for me it's unique. It's functional and casual and reflects the way we live.

A Life Individual - David Abela & Rebecca Amos

Our house is our space, a reflection of us and a haven from a busy working life. We fill it with laughter, family, friends and quiet times too. Our furniture needs to blend in with the elegance of 1930's architecture, but at the same time be warm and inviting to strike a perfect balance of luxury and comfort.    

A Life Individual - Shannon McGrath

Design definitely enriches my day-to-day life and having a house of our own that's designed is a softer way of living, a calmer way of living. Our home is elegantly understated and it is enjoyable to be in.

A Life Individual - Heilam Choy

My apartment is cluttered but curated. I don't like an empty home. I want to live and breathe design from the moment I wake each morning. When friends come over I love to see their surprise, to feel the mystery of all these objects. I see my collection as a library of thoughts.
