2023 HOME Interior of the Year Winner - Peoples Choice Award
2023 HOME Interior of the Year Finalist
The client wanted a carefully crafted interior that was sympathetic to the heritage exterior, of which their current interiors were not. Without changing the exterior footprint, we have managed to create the illusion of increased space by opening it up and connecting the living spaces to the outdoor spaces, with large steel joinery openings and rationalising the floor levels. A master suite was added within the roof space.
The kitchen and dining areas were opened up and brought down to the lounge level to create them to a newly created outdoor patio that helped make the petite home feel bigger. The windows within the realm of the kitchen were replaced and detailed to both fit in with the kitchen and the overall renovation.
For the interiors we worked closely with a wonderful client to create a simple and yet elegant palette that included herringbone oak flooring, carrara marble, solid walnut cabinetry, fluted glass and brass. Having a client who was detail oriented helped us create something that was meticulously detailed with an uncomplicated feel.
