Interior Design

Sibella Court's Bundeena Residence is a work in progress

Always being reimagined, it's a place of experimentation, magical reinvention and a physical embodiment of her latest creative musings

Watch this space as this endeavour unfurls...

Over the last couple of years I have had the honour of working with architects, Durbach Block Jaggers on this incredible home in Sydney. Our insightful clients had the idea to team up me (the maximalist) with Neil & the DBJ team (the minimalists) and we had a cracking time. The result was featured in Vogue Living’s ‘Australian Made’ Issue May/June 2021 with my brother Chris Court’s photography.

ABOUT THE RIGG DESIGN PRIZE
Recognising excellence in Australian design, the Rigg Design Prize is the highest accolade for contemporary design in Australia. The Society inc by Sibella Court was invited to participate as one of ten Australian design studios working in the field of interior design and decoration. For the prize exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria, each studio was invited to design a purpose built interior in response to the 2018 exhibition theme of Domestic Living.

This is my previous home, an Art Deco apartment with beautiful proportions and outdoor terrace. With a team of trusty tradespeople, the whirlwind renovation saw us ripping out the previous owner’s built-in storage and removing a dividing wall to open up what was a pokey kitchen and poorly lit living area. I also installed an outdoor kitchen to make the most of the generous entertaining space which is now home to much greenery and several of my bonsais.

It’s not often I work on residential projects but it’s difficult to turn down your best friend from 4th grade!
