Created for an avid private collector, our client desired an environment where he could live surrounded by his extensive collections of motorbikes, vehicles and memorabilia.

We inherited the building envelope and apart from a small, specific wish list we had free rein with the interior design & layout, while collaborating with the owner throughout as ideas and the overall concept evolved.

With such a variance in collections, our approach in crafting a journey, ensured collections were displayed to maximize impact and minimise clutter.

The brief provided opportunities for innovative and playful design, resulting in an unyielding attention to detail. State-of-art lighting, audio and mood settings were tailored to the clients’ preferences and allowed complete control over the space.

“The Graham Residence Interior is a riot of colour celebrating male cultural exuberance. Underlying the extensive visual stimulation is a carefully planned and curated series of spaces that link together to create a place of memory and display. The ‘Man Cave’ is also crafted place of entertainment with meticulous attention to detail and fidelity to the client’s original vision.”
