Kew Residence
Jaw dropping Cote D’Azur
Set amongst other homes of similar depth and weight in Kew, this new residence was about take on a personality of its own.
The brief from our clients was to elevate the French Provincial exterior, respecting the heritage but making the home feel modern and contemporary through furniture, art and finishes.
The colour palette was elevated by a palette of monochrome textures to ground the design including granite, steel (both brushed and polished), warm timber flooring and glass.
Jaw dropping Cote D’Azur and Super White marble bathrooms and benchtops throughout. At the home’s center, a stunning showpiece kitchen dressed in Super White marble.
We selected pieces based on personality, shape and form.
Understated Elegance
Sophisticated and so exquisitely stylish, this custom Nicholas Day designed residence sets a new benchmark for contemporary family luxury in the highly sought after private school precinct. Built to the highest standards over three expansive levels with lift, utterly uncompromising five bedroom, six bathroom accommodation blends its state-of-the-art design with breathtaking interiors by multi awarded Studio del Castillo’s principal designer Penny del Castillo. Soaring 3.3m ceilings and floor to ceiling glazing ensure breathtaking proportions enjoy abundant northern light whilst an exhaustive list of carefully curated finishes confirm a no expense spared approach to family comfort and convenience.

Collaborative Works Best
Penny Del Castillo, Creative Director & Founder of Studio Del Castillo favours a collaborative approach, operating closely with other professionals including architects, landscape designers, builders and other trades to deliver projects that justifiably wow her clients.
“An awesome service. Simply exceptional and I can’t recommend Penny enough. Penny helped me as I was building my new home over the last 2 years and Penny was there to support in every stage of the build (selecting the stone, carpet, joinery design, painting colours, parquetry, furnishings, art, styling, etc). Penny is great to deal with and without her help I would have struggled with the complex building process.
Not only does Penny honour the brief given to her but improves it, elevating the final product. She is immeasurably patient throughout the process and I cannot emphasise enough the importance of trusting her vision. We are so grateful to her for making our dream home a reality”.
