Featured in Russh: A Sydney Home Built on Restraint

Article Roundup

Architect Oliver du Puy and fashion publicist Isabel Migliore's Sydney home was recently featured in Russh, and our Maker&Son Song Sofa sits in the living room. It's worth a proper look, both for the home and for how deliberate the whole approach was.

The couple moved to Sydney after years split between Melbourne and Milan, and later Byron Bay, looking for a city with real natural beauty but enough scale to actually live in. Their existing terrace had a decent flow but a falling-apart ceiling and a narrow, closed-off layout. The renovation opened the rear of the house to the garden and chased more light. Add too much glass to an old terrace, and it stops feeling like one, but here the extension still reads as part of the house, not a bolt-on.

Timeless and essential, without being pastiche

Du Puy describes the approach as "timeless and essential," without being pastiche. He wanted the house to feel a certain way, not to obviously reference a particular era.

You can see it in the stainless steel kitchen with its French Lacanche cooker, in art that's clearly been collected over years rather than styled in for the shoot, in furniture that holds a room instead of showing off. Nothing feels added just to look good in photos.

Slow mornings and a house that's never finished

Migliore describes a Sunday built around "slow cups of earl grey tea," puzzles, reading, and the French doors left open to the breeze. That tells you more about how the house actually gets used than a materials list ever could.

She also treats the house as something that keeps changing, adding pieces slowly, swapping things out once they've stopped earning their place, the same way she'd treat her wardrobe. Most people stop touching a house once it's been photographed. She clearly doesn't.

Where our sofa fits in

A room like this doesn't need furniture that shows off. Ours just needs to sit there and work, which is exactly what our Maker&Son Sofa does in this living room.

If you're working on a home with the same instinct, considered over decorated, come talk to us at our Sydney or Melbourne showroom.
