Unexpected Bursts of Color Enliven a Midcentury Pad in Australia

"It was a good-looking house from day one, really," says Andrew Parr, director of interior design at SJB, an architecture, interior design, and urban planning firm based in Melbourne and Sydney. Parr led the overhaul of this midcentury house on the Mornington Peninsula, south of Melbourne. It had good bones, including a skillion roof, exposed beams, and expansive windows. "The main vision was to make it engage with the natural environment," says Parr, via A Life Individual, a video series created by The Design Files and Space.
