A Contemporary Balance of Form

At its core, the design responds to a brief centred on strong architectural expression and enduring appeal. As interior designer Mays Jajo explains: “The overarching design vision was to create a space that captures bold design characteristics and contemporary aesthetics, while maintaining a sense of quiet sophistication. The brief focused on achieving strong architectural expressions, where confident lines, refined proportions and considered materiality work together seamlessly.”

This approach has resulted in a home that feels elevated yet grounded, modern without being trend-driven, with durability and longevity thoughtfully woven into every decision.

Architectural Rhythm and Refined Detail

Integral to the home’s joinery is our Fusion handle range, selected for its ability to complement the project’s strong yet nuanced architectural language. Fusion’s rectangular bar profile, softened by subtle curvature and grounded with cylindrical anchors, reflects the dialogue between angles and curves found throughout the space.

Its presence enhances the home’s rhythm and cohesion, allowing cabinetry to feel purposeful and resolved without drawing attention away from the broader design narrative.

“The Fusion range was selected for its modern yet elegant form, offering a refined balance between shape and style,” says Mays. “Its highly versatile design complements the overall aesthetics of the space, while the subtle detailing adds an understated elegance. Not to mention it’s soft and comfortable to the touch.”

A Bold, Considered Approach to Colour

Rather than relying on stark contrasts, Project Ryde explores a layered and confident palette that balances depth. Olive-toned joinery forms a rich foundation, offset by darker cabinetry and refined material selections that reinforce the home’s contemporary edge.

The introduction of gunmetal decorative hardware plays a pivotal role in shaping this palette, creating moments of contrast while maintaining cohesion across spaces. “Gunmetal decorative hardware was intentionally selected to create contrast against the warmth of olive-toned joinery, creating a bold statement,” Mays explains. “At the same time, it seamlessly blends into the darker cabinetry, reinforcing depth, cohesiveness and a sense of refinement throughout the space.”

This interplay of tone and texture elevates the concept of modern monochrome, resulting in interiors that feel layered, expressive and enduring.

Form, Movement and Everyday Luxury

Throughout Project Ryde, sharp architectural lines establish structure and confidence, while softened edges and gentle curves introduce movement and tactility. This balance creates spaces that feel sculptural yet inviting; designed not only to be seen, but to be lived in.

The Fusion range quietly supports this intent, grounding joinery with a handle that mirrors the project’s duality: precise yet approachable, refined yet practical.

A Home Designed to Last

Project Ryde stands as a testament to the power of thoughtful, well-resolved design. Every element has been considered through the lens of longevity, craftsmanship and visual harmony, delivering a home that feels contemporary today and enduring for years to come.

The integration of our Fusion handle range reinforces this philosophy, adding a layer of consistency and quiet luxury to everyday living, where form, function and feel are perfectly aligned.
