Murphy House (Glacial Rock Farm)
Residential Interior Category Finalist
Project Description:
Irene began working with Sarah and Finn Murphy on selecting
colours for their home at Glacier Rock Farm near Te Anau in
Southland, back in May 2010.
The house - which Irene describes as having an "American Ranch"
feel to it - has five bedrooms; three for the couple's children,
one for guests and one master bedroom.
To create a wonderfully warm and cosy atmosphere for the couple
and their family, Irene opted for rich and earthy colours such as
botanical greens and deep rich reds.
Inspiration for the colour scheme came from a placemat that
Sarah liked and a joinery colour "Pomegranate", that the couple
were fond of.
As well as exuding a feeling of warmth, the colours selected
have been designed to work in harmony with the stunning natural
environment that surrounds the home, providing continuity between
the outdoor and indoor spaces.
Colours Used:
Dulux Darfield
Dulux Darfield Quarter
Dulux Omarama Double
Dulxu Waipapakauri
Dulux Te Mata Peak
