Globally renowned for his bold and layered design language, Greg Natale has created a Symphony in Stone with this spectacular harbourside residence in Sydney’s Mosman. In a tribute to materiality, the luxurious four storey, five bedroom home features no less than 28 different types of stone in a richly layered composition inspired by Milan’s iconic Villa Necchi Campiglio.
Natale’s creative vision effortlessly fuses Italian rationalism and brutalism with accents of Art Deco. From the moment you step through the oversized custom bronze doors, the house reveals itself as a gallery of textures and tones with marble making a powerful statement, featuring on floors, walls, and portals in a kaleidoscope of burgundy, pink, green, and ivory. Each area is defined by these distinct hues, with patterns ranging from geometric designs to Palladiana mosaics, breaking up the expansive spaces and adding opulence and character.
Natale’s mastery shines in the interplay between hard and soft materials. Fluted walls nod to art deco, while cabinetry clad in square panels reflects a brutalist influence, taking inspiration from a wall sculpture Natale designed for the home’s central courtyard. Timber accents flow throughout, offering a natural counterpoint to the opulence of stone, creating a harmonious balance between richness and restraint.
Adding further drama, ceiling coffers heighten the sense of grandeur, while a curated mix of vintage, contemporary, and custom furniture introduces rich colour and gold tones to the interior palette. Each considered element contributes to a cohesive narrative, telling a story of refined opulence and luxury living of the highest calibre.
