First encountering this sprawling property nestled within a leafy suburb in Oklahoma more than a decade ago, Greg Natale was invited back to design a 660-square-foot expansion to the barn-style home, accommodating the clients’ growing family. The latest iteration is expressive and eclectic — where strong visual impact is matched by thoughtful functionality.

The original three-bedroom residence was reimagined to include five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a new living space. Greg’s primary goal was to honour the clients’ love of animal prints and pattern, while embracing the flexibility and practicality that define family living. Thoughtful lighting plays a defining role throughout, with custom fixtures from The Urban Electric Co. celebrating the project’s craftsmanship and attention to detail. What was once an equestrian-inspired retreat is now a globally inflected home layered with visual intrigue and punctuated by local character. A confluence of international influences — from Parisian cabaret sensibilities and strong Italian character to Southwestern charm — the home is Natale’s contemporary take on American country life, refracted through an unmistakably Australian lens.
