Established in 2013, Alexander &CO. is a Sydney based architectural and interior design company specialising in both commercial and residential projects of the highest quality. I recently stumbled across one of these projects, Iluka House, a stunning transformation of an existing waterfront holiday villa in Palm Beach, Sydney. Struck by the elegance and beauty of the home, which has a restrained European feel, I reached out to the firm's director Jeremy Bull to find out more.

With a brief to improve the home spatially, enhancing the incredible views and access to the water, Alexander &CO. prioritised the architectural framing, creating an open space that spills out onto the outdoor garden, allowing for a beautiful transition between indoors and out. The owners regularly entertain and host guests, so the open plan living space and garden were to become the central focus in creating a home away from home.

The house is focused upon the hand-made and features beautiful bespoke detailing and a high level of craftsmanship. Exquisite in every way, I love that the paired back interiors and subdued palette creates a lived-in atmosphere. This was an important element for the owners to experience a sense of place and history.

A dream holiday home wouldn't you agree? Visit Alexander &CO. to see more of their incredible work.
Before heading into the weekend, I just wanted to give you a heads up that I am off on my trip tomorrow. I have a tightly packed schedule during the press tours so the blog will be quiet over the next two weeks. I will however be sharing the sights on Instagram, so please follow along. And of course you can expect plenty of content on the blog when I return from Denmark and Melbourne.
