And enjoy this first peek into Part 1 of the iconic Deborah Hutton's episode of The Edit!
Deborah Hutton has worn many hats - TV presenter, magazine editor, model - but now she's doing something she's never done before: project manager and interior designer. After selling her house in Bronte, she bought a crumbling red brick cottage overlooking the ocean south of Sydney and is now deep in a build she describes as the home of her life.
In this episode of The Edit, Deb joins Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock to talk about what drew her away from Sydney to the tiny seaside community of Wombarra, why she chose to work with architect Walter Barda, and how a landslide, a geotech and 70 concrete piers all became part of the story.
Plus, Deb shares why there’s not a drop of white in the colour palette, how a visit to Huka Lodge in New Zealand shaped the entire aesthetic, and why she’s building this house entirely for bringing people together.
