Sturdee St, North Ryde
The luxury home at Sturdee Street, North Ryde, designed and built by Ridge Pro, features an exceptional tiling project that embodies elegance and sophistication. Our extensive installation of 1200mm x 600mm tiles spans five bathrooms, one powder room, one laundry, two balconies, and an alfresco area, creating a seamless and stylish look throughout the residence.
A standout element of this project is the striking feature wall, crafted from the same high-quality tiles cut into 65mm strips. This innovative design choice adds texture and visual interest, enhancing the luxurious ambiance of the home. In addition to the surface areas, we also designed exquisite mosaic tiling within the swimming pool, utilizing 20mm porcelain tiles that not only elevate the aesthetic appeal but also ensure durability and safety.
This comprehensive approach not only highlights our craftsmanship but also exemplifies our dedication to delivering outstanding results in diverse environments.

Design in Details
In design, we bring characteristics of the natural world into built spaces, such as water, greenery, and natural light, or elements like wood and stone. Encouraging the use of natural systems and processes in design allows for exposure to nature, and in turn, these design approaches improve health and wellbeing. There are a number of possible benefits, including reduced heart rate variability and pulse rates, decreased blood pressure, and increased activity in our nervous systems, to name a few.
Over time, our connections to the natural world diverged in parallel with technological developments. Advances in the 19th and 20th centuries fundamentally changed how people interact with nature. Sheltered from the elements, we spent more and more time indoors. Today, the majority of people spend almost 80-90% of their time indoors, moving between their homes and workplaces. As interior designers embrace biophilia.

Incredible Result
Establishing multi-sensory experiences, we can design interiors that resonate across ages and demographics. These rooms and spaces connects us to nature as a proven way to inspire us, boost our productivity, and create greater well-being. Beyond these benefits, by reducing stress and enhancing creativity, we can also expedite healing. In our increasingly urbanized cities, biophilia advocates a more humanistic approach to design. The result is biophilic interiors that celebrate how we live, work and learn with nature. The term translates to ‘the love of living things’ in ancient Greek (philia = the love of / inclination towards), and was used by German-born American psychoanalyst Erich Fromm in The Anatomy of Human Destru ctiveness (1973).
