Villa Camilla

22 Mar 2024

Internationally renowned fashion icon Camilla Franks’ Woollahra home is as glamorous and worldly as the designer herself and has been a place for sanctuary and creativity while conjuring ideas for her fashion and homewares collections. A lesson in eccentric, maximalist interiors, 305 Edgecliff Road, Woollahra is bold, expressive and extravagant. The antithesis of clean lines and pared back minimalism, Camilla’s sense of style is rooted in an altogether different philosophy; that more is more. Fun and playful with an upbeat energy, Villa Camilla reveals a showstopping visual confidence with a medley of colour, prints and the trappings of travel.

Built in the late 19th century and set behind a wide gated drive on a private 455sqm approx, the five-bedroom home has been conceived as a private escape with multiple living areas and a resort-style backyard inspired by Scorpios beach club in Mykonos. Perfect for sunset cocktails by the firepit, the outdoor space soaks up wide valley views while an upper level rooftop terrace is a perfect spot to kick back in the sunshine.

Alexander Phillips says, “Villa Camilla is a true expression of Camilla’s brand and her globally informed aesthetic. The property dazzles with the vibrant and daring style for which she has gained international acclaim as the Kaftan Queen and a celebrity following including Beyoncé, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez and Oprah. Every room has a unique identity, transporting you to far-flung places across the world, while an exceptional layout is perfect for family life. There’s a real sense of joy and a feeling of escape while being in the heart of the east just 4km to the city in one direction and Bondi Beach in the other.”
