III Rooms x Sarah Ellison
Sarah Ellison joins III Rooms Sydney – a unique apartment accommodation in the heart of Potts Point. We take you on a tour of the dreamy interior.
Three Rooms Sydney have welcomed their newest furniture partner Sarah Ellison, an exciting addition to the trending accommodation experience accompanying Cult Design and MCM House. In collaboration with three of Australia’s most respected furniture design houses, III Rooms Sydney offers beautiful apartment-style accommodation.
III Rooms Sydney combines European style apartments with discreet urban living. Three Australian design houses renowned for their detailed interiors – Cult Design, Sarah Ellison and MCM House have each curated their own luxury apartment to accommodate even the most discerning guest.
Located within an iconic heritage building on the corner of Macleay Street and Challis Avenue in the heart of Sydney’s chic Potts Point neighbourhood, the building was formerly owned by the Hemmes family and recently purchased by Potts Point local Tony Benjamin.
The concept was conceived by Chrissi James and Tony Benjamin who were inspired by the iconic 3 Rooms Paris - self contained accommodation curated by fashion designer Azzedine Alaia as well as, The Apartment by the Line in New York and Los Angeles. Their aim in combining both concepts is to offer a special genre of accommodation for those who appreciate the unique and perfectly imperfect detail, akin to living in an apartment in Paris or Milan.
Priced from $650 per night managed via direct bookings and with Contemporary Hotels, each apartment is filled with natural light, high ceilings, original artworks, luxurious furniture and unique architectural characteristics. Interiors exude style, personality and a few design surprises to enthrall and delight guests – who can then order their favourite elements for their own home.
The newest addition, Sarah Ellison, has brought her warm-minimalist approach with a relaxed luxury feel which her brand is well known for. Inside, it is layered and made fitting for a chic inner city apartment. The design is informed by the location, created into a contemporary take on an Art Deco style, playing with the history and architectural significance of the building.
On the walls, Sarah has curated the spaces with a selection of black and white photography by Akila Berjaoui and canvas art by Saxon Quinn whilst integrating The Visuals - metal sculptural pieces throughout the rooms and layering different tonal textures and materials. There is an obvious lean towards a more decorative, feminine vibe whilst being experimental and fun, with earthy toned rugs by Armadillo.
