Belle and Mirvac collaborate to style Glebe display apartments

By Jen Bishop โ€ข

FacebookPinEmailTweet

Mirvac and Belle magazine have teamed up to create a series of pop-up display apartments at the new Harold Park development in Sydney’s Glebe, with the first one created by the magazine’s interior design editor, Steve Cordony.

BELLE-MIRVAC-021-Edit-Edit

I was lucky enough to attend the opening last night. A further two apartments will be styled by other designers (next on the list is Greg Natale) in The Mirvac Belle Life Series later this year. Each apartment will demonstrate a different stage of life. Steve was given the brief to design a luxe apartment that would appeal to the young sophisticate inner city dweller.

The end result was beautiful, sampling furniture and homewares from Coco Republic, Cavit & Co, Cadrys, Great Dane, Becker Minty, MCM House, Garden Life, Max Sparrow, PAD, Laura Kincade, Dunlin Home and Worlds Away, and many accessories from his own apartment! Shots of navy and emerald are offset by earthy tones and vibrant dashes of bronze, copper and gold. Texture is a vital ingredient in the interior with raw and polished finishes lending a dynamic synergy to the impeccably designed space.

Mirvac national marketing and sales director Diana Sarcasmo says the collaboration with Belle is an innovative way of connecting to the many different buyer groups at Harold Park. โ€œThere is a huge emotional investment in buying a home and that needs to be reflected in the way we communicate with potential buyers,โ€ she said. โ€œThis form of experiential marketing gives our clients an opportunity to feel included in what we are doing and, through the partnership with Belle, reinforces the brand values of Harold Park.โ€

The entire Belle team was at last night’s launch event, with editor in chief and The Block judge Neale Whitaker, opening it, and Steve talking about his inspiration for the apartment to the invited guests.

Harold Park by Mirvac is Sydneyโ€™s most significant urban renewal project, unlocking the former paceway for a sustainable new residential community, consisting of 1,250 apartments and terraces set in 3.8 hectares of parkland. Located just 2.5km from the CBD, Harold Park is walking distance to Jubilee Light Rail station, the University of Sydney and the cafes and shops of Glebe.

The heritage-listed Rozelle Tramsheds within the 10-hectare site will be conserved and adapted into an exciting new shopping and dining precinct, including a gymnasium and community centre. Harold Parkโ€™s green spaces form part of a continuous 20-hectare green corridor linking the suburbs of the inner-west to the Harbour foreshore.

A whole host of brands are offering eco-friendly, low tox alternatives to the more chemical-laden ones. Not only that, they often smell amazing, look good on your shelf and come in recycled or recyclable (or even better, both) packaging. 

Good for your skin, your clothes and the planet: whatโ€™s not to like?

Do you use any of these?

Play room goals!๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป This is just one room fr Play room goals!๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป

This is just one room from today's real house tour which I really love because in employing interior designer @issyandhcreative the owners weren't looking for a complete rip out and re-do but rather to work with what they had in their new suburban home (including a dated kitchen) and give it a largely cosmetic glow up with styling and new furniture (some of which was upcycled). 

The brief was to create a family friendly home. "They weren't looking for perfection but rather a warm and relaxing retreat for their busy young family." This playroom though? Pretty close to perfect! And the mum did the colour coded books herself. Love that๐Ÿ˜

Bookworms need a cosy book nook! ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ› Seb an Bookworms need a cosy book nook! ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ›

Seb and Charlie had one of those kid size couches in their playroom but frankly, they'd outgrown it! I picked this Aussie made compact 2-seater Ruby sofa from @fantasticfurniture 

I'd usually go for grey to keep it neutral but as it's in a kid's room I went for this heather blue fabric to make it a little more fun while still classic. There's more than 50 fabric choices for Fantastic's Aussie made range so good luck choosing ๐Ÿ˜‚ 

I left the legs off to keep it below the windowsill. I'm super happy with the quality. It looks a lot more expensive than its $699 pricetag ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป

Books, natural light and a cosy couch = happy boys! And let's not pretend they won't be watching the odd movie on there too ๐Ÿฟ because #keepingitreal

Last week we interviewed chalk paint pioneer Annie Last week we interviewed chalk paint pioneer Annie Sloan from her UK base about colour and Aussies' relationship with it. (And how's this for a before & after kitchen?! ๐Ÿ˜)

Annieโ€™s latest green hue, Coolabah Green, is inspired by the Eucalyptus trees of her childhood (did you know she was born in Sydney?). โ€œI made it in tribute to Australia and Iโ€™m thrilled to say thatโ€™s been really popular both here in the UK and in Australia. Itโ€™s a kind of smoky, silvery sage green thatโ€™s very easy to work with and would complement accents of Amsterdam Green deliciously.โ€

Sales stats show Aussies are all about greens while elsewhere in the world greys and blues are more popular from her range. So tell me, are you a green lover?

Head to the blog to read Annie's thoughts on upcycling furniture and more. Via link in bio.

Top tip: it's also a brilliant spot to grab a gift, from the home or toy section. 

And as for those red clearance stickers? What a rush!๐ŸŽ‰

As many original external features as possible wer As many original external features as possible were retained in this Queenslander's exterior but the interiors were almost entirely rebuilt. Highlights include a timber and pink upholstered 1970โ€™s inspired sunken lounge with crazy paver floor, nestled below 5-metre ceilings. It opens out onto a north facing lawn and enviable bespoke pool.

Did we mention it has Brisbane city views?!
