The Forest Lodge

The Forest Lodge Residence embodies a Structural Honesty throughout the home. The use of exposed concrete, dark bronze features, timber and natural stone creates a monolithic structure and form. Woods & Warner were engaged to selected and specify materials, furniture, lighting guidance and soft furnishings. The highlight of this home is the internal garden which is overlayed across two levels and bridges visual delight from every angle. A stand alone home that demands respect from every entryway. Our brief to adhere to a strong charcoal, graphite and earth palette is paramount throughout the home. Whilst brutalist in the approach the balance is created through layering textiles of linen, leathers and velvets. There is minimal ornamentation as the silhouette of the home is gladly celebrated and enjoyed by all who enjoy the space.  The client’s love of interiors that are sophisticated with a sprinkle of Hollywood Glam made the W&W collaboration a rewarding experience. Foundations of black, white with mixed metals created balance and a timeless elegance to the home. The powerful palette called for highlight colours to be introduced to give each of the spaces their own unique personality. The visual drama adapts well to the traditional elements and equally the contemporary aesthetics. Each of the spaces are adorned with tessellated marble elements, polished brass tapware & hardware, exquisite craftsmanship in specialty profiles and cabinetry and layered with customised lighting selections. The furniture and artwork selections throughout the home recognise and acknowledge Australian Designers – there is a glamour and opulence within the pieces which blend rich materials and striking shapes to ensure the beauty of this home is elevated and one not to be unnoticed.
