Tucked into Adelaide’s southwest, this reimagined 1960s neoclassical home blends timeless architecture with soft, modern living. Once a horse trainer’s residence, it’s now a serene family sanctuary, thoughtfully transformed by Georgie Shepherd and architect Elia Marros.

Arched doorways, soaring ceilings, and a calming neutral palette define the home’s new identity. Natural textures - limestone, timber, and soft plaster - create an inviting warmth, while French doors and generous glazing connect every room to the outdoors.

We’re especially drawn to the layering of sculptural forms and tactile comfort. A standout in this setting? The Cayden Dining Chair. With its rounded silhouette, it’s a perfect expression of the home’s balance between softness and structure. Whether by the fire or in a quiet corner, it invites you to pause with style.

This home is proof that classic and contemporary can coexist beautifully. It’s not just design - it’s the art of living well.
