They say, "When you're on a good thing, stick to it" - sage advice that this customer clearly endorses. An Olde English Tiles repeat customer of many years standing, her love of tessellated tiles, and the Winckelmans colour range in particular, is on full display here. While tessellated tiles were viewed as an essential ingredient in the total renovation of this elegant Victorian terrace in Sydney, her choice of pattern and colours reveals a skilled approach to the task that can best be characterised as "post-modern" in its unique interpretation of these traditional elements. The smoky mauve tone of the facade combined with the teal green front door are a perfect foil to the colours of the Chester tessellated pattern - dark brown, white & pale green.
The finished result, a simple pattern and restricted colour palette, acts as a clever transition between the house proper, and the garden, where the selection of plants places the emphasis on shape and texture, rather than the traditional period garden aesthetic of vivid pink, red and yellow flowers.
