Inside Troye Sivan’s Historical Home | A Masterclass in Style, Light and Character

Most of us will never walk through these doors, but today we have the chance to take a peek inside. And honestly? Troye Sivan’s Historical Home might be one of the most interesting celebrity houses we’ve seen in a long time, so let’s explore it together in this Home Signature.

Every home tells a story. Sometimes it’s the architecture, sometimes it’s the people living there. In this case, it’s both.

Anyone familiar with Troye knows he has a very specific aesthetic. Creative without being loud, artistic without feeling staged. So it makes perfect sense that his home reflects exactly that. This isn’t one of those celebrity mansions designed to impress strangers. It feels personal. Like a place built for living rather than showing off.

It’s filled with history, art, color, natural light, and the kind of design choices that somehow feel effortless, even though you know every detail was carefully considered.

Troye has said he can’t choose a favorite room, and after seeing the house, I completely understand why. Every space has its own personality. Together, they create what can only be described as an introvert’s paradise.

The Story Behind the Residence

One of the things that makes this property so special is its history.

Long before it became Troye Sivan’s home, the building lived several different lives. It began as a handball court back in 1874 before being transformed into a brick factory in the 1950s. Decades later, Australian architect John Mockridge reimagined the space, and in 2020, Flack Studio completed a restoration that turned it into the extraordinary residence we see today.

Despite all these transformations, traces of the building’s past remain. Original painted walls from the handball court still exist, giving the home a sense of character that simply can’t be recreated.

Downstairs: Where Light Takes Center Stage

The first thing that stands out when entering the home is the light.

Floor-to-ceiling windows fold away completely, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors. On a sunny day, the main living area opens directly onto the courtyard, making the entire ground floor feel like one connected space.

It’s the kind of feature that instantly changes the atmosphere of a home. Everything feels airy, relaxed, and effortlessly inviting.

The Main Living Area

The living room perfectly captures the home’s balance between sophistication and comfort.

A sofa by Percival Lafer sits alongside another by Maker&Son, while a custom wooden cocktail table from The Makery Club and a Glas Italia side table add even more character to the space. Underneath, a vintage Moroccan Taznakht rug brings warmth and texture, while an orange sculpture by Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran immediately catches your attention.

What I love most is that nothing feels too precious. You don’t get the feeling that you’re in a showroom where nobody is allowed to sit down. It feels like a room meant to be used. The kind of place where you can spend an entire afternoon reading, listening to music, or doing absolutely nothing.

The dining area follows that same energy. Centered around an oak table designed by Flack Studio and produced by Ashwood Design, the space feels elegant but never formal. It’s beautiful, but it still feels welcoming.

The Kitchen

If there is one room that perfectly showcases the home’s material palette, it’s the kitchen.

The combination of honed Verde Fantastico stone, black steel, oak, and natural timber creates a space that feels rich and layered without overwhelming the senses.

Vintage rattan stools line the oak kitchen counter, softening the more industrial elements and adding warmth. It’s the kind of kitchen that makes you want to linger long after dinner is over.

Every material has its place, and together they create a balance that feels both modern and timeless.

Upstairs: Warm, Calm and Personal

Moving upstairs, the atmosphere becomes even more intimate.

As you move upstairs, you’re already seeing art like the “Little Ghost” by Nell or the art pieces by Sydney Ball.

This level includes a small office area, a guest room, and spaces belonging to Troye’s sister, Sage. While each room has its own personality, they all share the same design language: natural materials, soft textures, and a calming color palette.

The Guest Room

The first thing that caught my eye in the guest room was the oversized Akari lamp.

Walls finished in Venetian plaster and cork-lined ceilings create an unexpectedly cozy atmosphere. It’s one of those rooms that feels like it’s wrapping itself around you the moment you step inside.

There’s a softness here that’s hard to describe but impossible to ignore.

Sage’s Bedroom and Bathroom

Natural light is the star of Sage’s bathroom, where a skylight floods the room throughout the day.

The combination of oak, marble, and Moroccan tiles creates a beautiful mix of earthy greens, warm browns, and muted blues. A custom stone vanity basin and Astra Walker fixtures add a refined touch without stealing attention from the overall design.

The bedroom continues the same serene aesthetic. Another Akari lamp, a Flocca headboard, linen bedding, and artwork by Charlie Ingmar Harding create a space that feels calm and effortlessly inviting.

Soft greens, warm beige tones, and subtle pink accents work together to create the kind of bedroom most of us would happily spend a lazy Sunday morning in.

The Top Floor: Troye’s Private Retreat

The entire top floor belongs to Troye.

His bedroom is surprisingly simple, allowing the architecture to do most of the talking. Expansive walls of glass fill the space with natural light throughout the day, creating a bright and peaceful retreat above the rest of the house.

It’s easy to imagine this being the perfect place to escape, recharge, and find a moment of quiet away from a busy schedule.

The Courtyard

If the interiors feel like a sanctuary, the courtyard feels like an escape into nature.

Filled with native Australian plants, including eucalyptus and Japanese swamp cypress, the outdoor space brings a sense of calm that extends throughout the entire property.

One of the most fascinating details is the former wine cellar, which has been transformed into a bathroom, a perfect example of the home’s ability to blend history, creativity, and practicality.

Like the rest of the residence, nothing here feels forced. Every addition respects the building’s history while giving it a new purpose.

And honestly, I think that’s what makes Troye Sivan’s home so memorable. Yes, the architecture is incredible. Yes, the interiors are beautiful. But plenty of homes have those things.

What makes this one special is that it feels real.

In a world where so many celebrity homes seem designed for social media, this one feels designed for the people who actually live in it. You can feel Troye’s personality in every room, from the art choices to the materials to the way the house embraces natural light.

It’s creative, welcoming, slightly unconventional, and full of character. Just like its owner.
