Kerry Phelan Case Study
Kerry Phelan is an Australian interior designer, and currently the director of Kerry Phelan Design Offices (KPDO). Prior to establishing her own design practice, she was the co-founder of Hecker Phelan & Guthrie.
Throughout over 20 years of experience, Kerry’s work has included luxury residential, hospitality and retail projects located throughout Australia, Asia and the USA. Some of the standout projects she worked on include: the Beresford Hotel, Establishment and Ivy in Sydney, and more recently, the Tung Fat residential building in Hong Kong.
Her work is rich in natural materials, clean lines, crisp simplicity and although she doesn’t have a signature style, she is highly driven by the ‘brief’ to give her clients something unique and that is distinctly their own.

The design is based around the traditional bistros in France with features of timber panelling and mouldings with the richness and warmth of French oak timber surrounded in natural lighting and feature pendant lights. The whimsical grass green colour is a major part of the design which spans through all Guillaume restaurants against a predominantly black and white backdrop. This bistro is a good example of how Kerry creates interiors that don’t need a complete overhaul after a few years.
Kerry Phelan is continuing to influence 21st century style in a significant way. While she designs beautiful, creative and venerated spaces, it’s the considered planning and rigorous detail are necessary in a Kerry Phelan design to ensure the design will stay relevant and well-loved for longer than a standard fit out. It is now her mission to create design with much more than the average five to six years of wear and to alert us all about the waste in

    The sunset show is the show of the month at the Alberta Street Gallery featuring some of Eryn Tehan's incredible pieces. Hanging behind a window overlooking Alberta Street, Tehan's piece Trillium Lake at Sunset stuns all those who look at it with it's vibrant colors. Through using oil paints as well as professional, non-toxic pigments as her medium Tehan vividly captures the beauty of the places she paints (Alberta Street gallery, n.d.). A majority of her paintings are done using only a pallet knife, which gives her the ability to create tactile texture within her works.

    Irish born and trained large animal veterinarian, Quinn O’Laughlin, has a secret. He has developed a loyal and wealthy clientele who trust him with the wellbeing of their best friends and equine partners in the small but international horse community of Wellington, Florida. Since his arrival in the United States from Dublin, Quinn has not been truthful with them. While he is on the cutting edge of veterinary medicine, it is his other gifts that are most useful. His equine patients aren’t spilling the beans that it is Quinn’s healing hands and his mind-to-mind communication skills that are his greatest talents. Quinn knows that the suspicious, sometimes superstitious, and über-careful horse owners might take that particular ability askance…
