The design takes inspiration from scenes along the Mediterranean coast. Sand coloured Tasmanian Oak, Italian terrazzo, and gentle drapery aim to evoke emotions of nostalgia towards past travels. Ergonomic furniture and acoustic timber ceilings provide the utmost comfort and support.
A methodical approach was taken for the spatial layout, with inspiration drawn from the symmetrical floor plans of European Renaissance Architecture. The layout places the social areas towards the centre, surrounded by a circular array of the more private zones. This approach means areas where the most time is spent have access to the views, evoking a sense of freedom that ensures the best possible working environment.

BRYDIE DUNCANSON
INTERIOR DESIGNER
Growing up I always had a great appreciation for art, design, and architecture. When I was 11 years old my parents began renovating our family home.​ This experience, combined with my week of work experience during high school, at a multi-disciplinary Architecture firm in Perth, solidified my desire to become an Interior Designer.
My love for design is encouraged everytime I walk into a well designed Commercial or Residential space. I enjoy analysing these spaces and trying to understand the designers intentions in representing a brand or person. I have always enjoyed people and consistanly found myself in jobs that revolve around human connection. In my personal life I thrive off my friends and family and the joy they bring me.
In 2020 I graduated from Billy Blue College of Design (Torrens University) with a Bachelor of Interior Design (Commercial). Throughout my studies, I demonstrated success in transforming a client’s ideas into functional, conceptual, and beautiful spaces. My degree taught me to broaden my thought processes and develop skills to test and present my concepts.
During my studies I began a role at National Tiles as a Showroom Consultant which allowed me to transition into my current role after my studies were completed. I really enjoyed gaining an understanding of how a supplier operates and believe this will assist me in future specifying tasks. As an Interior Design Consultant I work alongside a large team of designers who specialise in different areas of design. We work together to produce beautiful and thoughtful homes for our clients. I design for a range of clients with different budgets, cultures and family dynamics. I love my hands on appointments with clients where I take time to get to know them and love helping them design their future home.
