Sparkling Port Melbourne Apartment

This shiny home, designed by David Hicks, is located on the 10th floor of an apartment
complex that juts out through surrounding ocean, under sunny skies, at Port Melbourne,
Australia.



The elegant and ornate furniture selection presents an American neo-classical style, a
nd achieves a balanced connection between highly decorative interior elements and
inviting home comfort.

Soft, natural hues have been introduced to the interior via carefully selected pieces,
which play upon the panorama beyond the windows; using muted blues, greens and
sandy shades to subtly lift the simple white backdrop, the design leaks the beautiful
horizon indoors.


An energetic Dale Frank art painting proudly adorns one of the walls, harboring
sophisticated deep-sea tones.


To amplify the sense of space and light in this impressive home, large expanses of mirror
have been installed as edge-to-edge feature walls, and to clad twinkling storage and
shelving areas. The reflective surfaces also multiply the sea views coming in from the
 large dramatically framed windows, to create infinite opportunities to enjoy the oceans
beauty from all angles of the home.

Highly contemporary light fittings add edge to the curvaceous choice of furniture,
and match the glamor of the surrounding mirror walls.
