Mishka: Scandinavian Elegance in Sydney
Mishka is a prime example of Scandinavian home design in Sydney, masterfully created by Fyffe Design. This residence embraces minimalist aesthetics, featuring clean lines and serene elegance that harmonise with its surroundings. The facade showcases a mix of materials: Aspen stone cladding forms a striking base, while the upper section combines monument render and Decowood cladding in Spotted Gum, complemented by monument doors, windows, and garage doors.
Great Room
Designed for entertainment, the Great Room offers a seamless flow from the front to the back of the home. A custom wagon wheel pendant anchors the room, enhanced by warm accent lights and cool main downlights. Steel elements extend from the front entry into the room, framing the cellar. The design draws the eye to the backyard, highlighted by a large gum tree.
Glass Floor
A standout feature suggested by the builder, the glass floor visually connects the subfloor and Great Room. Cobblestones and Aspen stacked stone cladding enhance this area, with warm pendants and strip lighting adding to the ambiance. Innovative lighting and copper-encased puck lights provide a unique aesthetic touch.
Alfresco Space
The alfresco area seamlessly transitions from indoor to outdoor living. It features a BBQ island bench, pizza oven, retractable screens, and a wall-mounted glass balustrade for full enclosure. Fans, speakers, air conditioning, and a TV complete the ultimate entertainment setup.
Sunken Lounge
The sunken lounge preserves views of the pool and backyard from the kitchen and dining areas. A corner window overlooks the pool, with a sheer curtain wrapping into a pocket behind the TV. A stacked stone wood fireplace and travertine runway with steps define the sitting area. A large two-wing fan and recessed TV enhance the space.
Modern Kitchen
The kitchen features Lexicon Quarter cabinets with a slimline shaker profile and wood matt oak detailing. The island bench and surrounding benchtops are Caesarstone Statuario Maximus, with a matching splashback. Appliances include an Ilve oven/stove and rangehood. LED strip lighting, steel glass overhead cabinetry, and wood matt oak shelving provide storage and illumination.
Scullery
The scullery has Caesarstone benchtops in Snow, Spanish Olive cabinets, and wood matt oak shelving. Mosaic finger tiles add visual interest, with gunmetal tapware and handles. A built-in microwave convection oven and LED strip lights enhance the space.
Master Bedroom
The main bedroom features a gabled ceiling, high glass panels, and a mini balcony. Neutral tones and minimalist decor, with a luxurious tufted bed and walk-in wardrobe, create a serene space that connects to the main bathroom.
Modern Pool
The pool, set against a retaining wall, features three large waterfalls, an integrated spa with an infinity edge, a wading area, and a bench seat. Steel fencing maintains the house’s theme.
Rear Facade
The rear facade integrates with the land’s slope, featuring an elevated alfresco area with sunset views and retractable screening. The cathedral ceilings in the great room enhance natural light and connectivity.
