Stamford Park Homestead

Playing on the tradition of early Australian homesteads, with their intrinsic European origins, Stamford Park is both classic and modern in its design, reflecting its incredible history and its current evolution. Lush upholsteries, mixed solid timbers, honed marble and natural rattan form a rich material palette, complementing the assemblage of historic furnishings spanning multiple eras, collected over many years.

The interiors borrow from the tonality and moving textures of the surrounding gardens and wetlands, combining elegant statement pieces typical of the homestead vernacular with modern detailing and brilliant colour. Crisp plaster pendants, sheer drapery and bold and expansive artworks by the likes of Marnie Haddad and Paul Ryan imbue the homestead with contemporary inflections. Exaggerating scale and form, the interior reinvigorates the experience of Stamford to be more ceremonial and whimsical, crafting an enchanting and memorable experience for guests.
