With a young family and a love and lust for well-designed international interiors, the brief was one that shared these two extreme needs. Georgia Ezra, founder and director of Studio Ezra, is a market maven at heart, whose passion lies in sourcing the globe for beautiful spaces and 100% handmade objects. It was only natural that her home would be a cultural mix of her favorite places on earth and incorporated her passion to take people off the streetscape and into their own escape. A warm family home with 3-bedroom 3-bathroom, each space unique and bespoke to the next whilst creating a strong element of unison.
Georgia’s lust for travel and the need to make every moment in the space provide a healthy interior. Inspiration are drawn from places in Spain such as Mallorca and the Andalucia region, along with Morocco and the countryside of France & Italy. The result is a cultural mix of Mediterranean, meets middle eastern meets modern.
Every element of the home is designed with consideration of the five senses. To wake up and evoke a feeling of being across the globe and gives a moment of calm before the day begins. From handmade tiles, to VOC free paint, the earthy tones are 100% handmade which largely concentrate on being sustainable and eco-friendly. This serene palette sets a calm and tranquil mood throughout the space.
Elements such as drape further softens the room against the architectural custom made feature lighting (designed and manufactured by Georgia Ezra), while stunning layering and lacework of the handmade zellige by Tiles of Ezra gives the space a bespoke yet unified feeling. Dark timber ceiling balances the room perfectly, offsetting the neutral tone of the room.
Seamless transition between indoor and outdoor is achieved through the large European doors that completely open to the deck for hot summer days, and glass panels by the sink overlooking view of the garden and mandarin tree.
Appliances are hidden behind panelling, creating a functional modern yet countryside kitchen, completed with gorgeous Moroccan tiled splashback by Tiles of Ezra.
