Non-conformist, bold, ingenious … these are all adjectives that apply to the design of this exceptional home; a veritable cornucopia of visual delights and a testament to what can be achieved when you move beyond traditional lines and tones.
The home of designers Matthew and Brittany Purves, founders of Spectura Studio, creatively, and playfully, combines offset geometry and oblique angles, not to mention vibrant colours, to create something utterly unique.
When designing their new home, the couple didn’t want to be confined in their use of colour and form, so they looked to materials such as Staron Solid Surfaces to gift them with the creative freedom they craved. In the bathrooms, this enabled the duo to allow their imaginations to soar.
Of distinctive design, the main bathroom showcases the seamless beauty of Staron in California Poppy, a brilliant orange. The perfect expression of the couple’s fresh, highly individualistic design aesthetic, California Poppy brings a dynamic touch to the vanity and mirror.
The rakish angles of the mirror are accentuated by the bright-orange Staron frame, as is the unique geometry of the floating vanity that is wrapped in the same vividly coloured material. The vanity is complemented by a custom basin fashioned out of epoxy resin and made in-house, combined with tapware in a warm metallic finish. At night, LED lighting enriches the citrus tones of the Staron and enhances the shimmer of the wall tiles and coloured grout.
The ensuite embraces a different but no less arresting colour palette. Here, the geometry of the mirror and vanity is highlighted with Staron in Sanded Mint, the same colour used for the kitchen benchtops and splashback.
This home, winner of the Staron Design Awards Residential Category in 2024, isn’t just the embodiment of the owners’ unique personalities, it is a certified Passivhaus built using low-environmental-impact principles. This means it is a home that proves sustainability and creativity do go hand-in-hand.
