Bedroom

Automatic roller sun shades and custom blackout curtains provide privacy. “They’re on a timer,” Shively says, “so throughout the day they move and adjust to the sun.” A chair by Le Corbusier, dresser by George Nelson, and vintage side tables outfit the space. “If the house is going to be so architectural, everything in it needs to be special. I have a lot of vintage things,” Shivley says.

Part of the project involved refurbishing the heritage part of the home. Old brickwork meets new oak joinery fabricated by COS Interiors, who were responsible for all of the home's new woodwork.

The master suite comes with dual walk-in closets, both of which offer custom built-in cabinetry.

This home in Melbourne by design duo Kathryn Robson and Susie Cohen has deep nook shelves at one end of the wardrobe, which gives the bathroom a warm, natural and organic feel.

Bespoke cabinetry in the bedroom is painted the same color as the walls, so it recedes.

The entrance to the walk-in closet is marked by another bench floating across the window, and a mirror inset in white oak.

Now, there’s a built-in vanity with the same oiled white oak storage at the entry to the main suite.

Boyer reconfigured the floorplan for more accessible storage, continuing the theme of white oak built-ins on the upper level, which allow Brooke and Tobi to access their side of the closet simultaneously.

"We wanted the main suite windows to have a non-traditional relationship to the walls and contemporary detailing," Lanigan says. The new bedroom adds a fourth bedroom to the property, expanding it from 1,475 square feet to 2,045 square feet.
