When interior decorator Simone Haag was approached to furnish this historic-turned-modern home in Melbourne, she knew she’d have beautiful bones to work with. The property is located in Malvern’s Gascoigne Estate: an area of architecturally significant homes built in the Australian Federation style, which emerged during the late 1800s.
Having initially enlisted interior designer Beatrix Rowe to renovate the building, its owners brought in Simone Haag’s studio to complete the project with a carefully chosen selection of furniture, objects, and art. Working alongside her studio design lead, Cindy Phillips, Simone was tasked with modernizing the house to better suit the owners’ taste and lifestyle, while respecting its heritage.
