ST ELMO

THE STORY

Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac next to Mosman’s Bradleys Head National Park, lies St Elmo - a beautiful red brick Art Deco home in its original condition.

The family decided to breathe new life into the home, giving Studio Noakes the task of transforming the space into one with a vibrant personality, whilst considering the heritage and complementing existing features.

A modern dining room with a marble-top table, white chairs, a wooden sideboard with pink flowers and decor, wall art, a floor lamp, and a large white pendant light.
