In the Engelen Moore designed building, Garth liked what he called \u201chigh living\u201d. It had a northern aspect and amazing views.\u00a0 <\/span>Importantly, it was somewhere he could entertain. He turned the formerly minimal apartment into a warm, welcoming home.<\/span><\/p>\n

The existing layout worked well, the kitchen was originally open to the living room.\u00a0 <\/span>Garth partially closed it off from the living room with built in bookcases filled with his books \u2013 pages tagged with interiors that inspired him<\/span> \u2013<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>everything from Gentleman\u2019s Clubs of London, luxury hotels to art, <\/span>Gaudi to Starck.<\/span><\/p>\n

Garth was neither a minimalist \u2013 nor a clutterer. It was refined and very orderly with an underlying symmetry. <\/span>In the rectangular living room there was a pair of sofas, pair of side tables, <\/span>two busts and a pair of armchairs, but one was Garth\u2019s favourite, where he chose to sit when chatting with friends. Over his shoulder was the picture-perfect, sweeping view of Sydney harbour. This was his final home and where he died.<\/span><\/p>\n
