For Sally Paterson, having the skills to design homes meant she could cater to the specific needs of her family when it came to designing her own.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Elevated and Timeless<\/h3>\n

\u201cFrom the outset, my vision for The Avenue was to create a home that felt calm, timeless and quietly refined,\u201d says Sally Paterson of Sydney interior and residential design studio Heliconia, who designed The Avenue for herself and her family to live in. \u201cI wanted it to feel warm and welcoming, but also elevated; a home that doesn\u2019t rely on trends, but instead feels grounded and enduring.\u201d<\/p>\n

She bought the property in 2022, demolished it in December 2023, and finished its reconstruction in April 2025, when the family moved back in. \u201cWe purchased the property mid-2022 and after living in it for a few months, started the design and planning process for what we wanted to create,\u201d she states. \u201cBeing both the designer and the homeowner meant I could create something very customised to the way we live, and the layout reflects this. The home is generous in scale with strong connections between indoor and outdoor spaces, an emphasis on natural light and airflow, and a floorplan designed to support family life over time. Designing every inch of the home inside and out made the building journey incredibly personal.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Seaside Inspiration<\/h3>\n

She describes the design as \u2018Modern Coastal.\u2019 With her practice situated on Sydney\u2019s Northern Beaches, the sea is imbued into the aesthetic\u2014creams and off-whites, with hints of pale blue scattered about. \u201cI drew inspiration from our seaside surroundings as well as travels through the Californian coast and the Mediterranean,\u201d says Paterson. \u201cThe design is intentionally restrained, with a neutral, layered palette and a strong focus on materials, detail and warmth-adding elements.\u201d<\/p>\n

She knew that hardware was important from the outset. \u201cArchitectural hardware was never an afterthought in this project; it was considered from the very beginning as part of the overall design language,\u201d she says. \u201cI selected door and cabinetry hardware alongside joinery finishes, flooring and other key materials to ensure everything worked together cohesively.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Hardware Detailing<\/h3>\n

Iver met numerous needs demanded by the project, particularly because of its superior quality. \u201cFor me, hardware is something you interact with constantly, so it needs to feel good in the hand as well as look beautiful,\u201d explains Paterson. \u201cIver was a natural choice for this project because of the quality, craftsmanship and breadth of their range. We use the brand in many of our projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Materials were are the forefront of her mind. \u201cIver\u2019s solid brass construction was really important to me. I wanted hardware that felt substantial in the hand, and would age beautifully over time, rather than something purely decorative,\u201d she notes. \u201cThe range of finishes made it easy to align the hardware with the rest of the material palette, and the ability to specify Iver across the entire home, from door hardware to cabinetry was key in achieving a cohesive, whole-of-home outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Considered Design<\/h3>\n

Sally scheduled both the Osaka Cupboard Knob in Signature Brass<\/a> and the Berlin range\u2019s Lever Oval in Matt Black<\/a> in The Avenue, but it\u2019s Iver\u2019s backplates that are a highlight, with Brunswick Cabinet Pulls with Backplates in Satin Nickel<\/a>, Matt Black<\/a>, Signature Brass<\/a> and Polished Chrome<\/a> featured throughout her home. \u201cI adore the backplates. On both the cabinetry and door handles it was exactly the level of detailing I was looking for. And the main colour I used, Signature Brass, is softer than black but still punctuates the cabinetry with contrast. I love that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iver\u2019s products helped to unify her vision. \u201cUltimately, Iver\u2019s pieces felt considered and timeless, which aligned perfectly with how I approached the design of the house,\u201d she says. \u201cThey complement the architecture and interiors quietly, adding depth and refinement without ever feeling overstated.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
