This renovation project is a story of complete transformation. Early on, we established a new design style that suited the character of the home, and the clients aesthetic - this informed all subsequent choices.

The original layout didn’t serve the clients well, so we completely transformed the back end of the house by opening up the kitchen and then created a new larger combined bathroom and laundry. A former studio became a master bedroom with a brand-new walk-in robe.

In addition to the spatial reconfiguration, we carried out a full cosmetic overhaul—selecting new internal doors, hardware, lighting, paint colours, and custom architrave and skirting profiles. Windows were updated to suit the new layout, and even the exterior was refreshed to align with the new design direction.

The result is a warm, cozy, and functional home with a consistent, character filled aesthetic throughout.
