Lucca Estate

There is a transportive quality to this Sydney home — blink, and you could be at a European villa. Stepped landscaping, clipped hedges and creeping vines frame a stone outdoor fireplace and a glamorous aqua pool ringed in handmade Tunisian tile. Built in the 1960s and rich with sentiment for its owner, the house had charm but no clear direction. Drawing on more than a decade of working together, EB answered a brief for dark, characterful interiors with an edge — amplifying the individuality of a home its owner has loved since childhood.
