AN EXOTIC RENDITION OF MODERN SYDNEY STYLE

BE TRANSPORTED EACH DAY TO A PLACE IN TIME WHEN THE WORLD TURNED A LITTLE SLOWER, AND CRAFTSMANSHIP AND CARE INFUSED LIFE’S EVERY DETAIL.

Bathed in all-day northerly sunlight, Palomar’s interiors incorporate a luxuriously earthy palette, coupled with inspired organic textures.

The modern Sydney aesthetic is flavoured with hints of hand-made Mediterranean artistry, as vast, open plan interiors comprise walls of finely grained murowash paint, and tumbled limestone flooring, carefully laid in perfect herringbone configuration.

WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF

EVERY MATERIAL IN THIS REMARKABLE SPACE HAS BEEN PAINSTAKINGLY SELECTED AND SOURCED TO STIMULATE THE SENSES.

FROM INSET FEATURE WALLS OF RAFFIA WEAVE GRASSPAPER AND THE TEXTURAL FLOORS OF STONE PARQUETRY THAT LEAD THROUGH TO THE SORT OF LUXURIOUS WALK-IN WARDROBES AND EN SUITES IN WHICH ONE MIGHT HAPPILY GET LOST.

An earthen palette quiets the senses as exposed timber beams look down onto in-built stone benches, nestling below the bronze frames of picturesque arched windows, recalling the soft, scented breezes of the Mediterranean’s port cities.

FROM A TIME WHEN MEALS WERE PREPARED, NOT DELIVERED

LONG BEFORE UBER EATS, THERE WAS A TIME WHEN KTICHENS WERE FILLED WITH NOSTALGIC AROMAS AND THE SIMMERING OF POTS - A TIME WHEN COOKING WAS AN ART RATHER THAN A HASSLE.

The kitchens of Palomar are a tribute to this ancient and hallowed space, where families gathered and time was taken. Here, an organic minimalism prevails, comprising honed limestone bench tops, splashbacks of handmade Spanish tiles and powder-coated white and bronze lattice cabinetry.

Fully integrated appliances of the prized Gaggenau variety are perfectly positioned throughout, and include such detailed luxuries as an integrated Gaggenau coffee machine, in keeping with the rich coffee tradition of distant Mediterranean destinations.

IMMERSE YOURSELF IN MEDITERRANEAN LUXURY

FEATURING MOROCCAN TILES THROUGHOUT AND WALLS OF LIMESTONE AND MOSAIC, PALOMAR’S BATHROOMS ARE AKIN TO THOSE OF THE GREAT PALACES OF MOROCCO AND SPAIN.

Vessel basins rest atop luxurious vanities and iron bronze tapware, further enhancing the organic qualities of the spaces, designed to plunge their indulged occupants into a fantasy of exotic extravagance.
