Wondering what we’ve been up to lately? We’re excited to be able to share some of our most recent residential interior design projects with you. We have just added three new projects to our website…
Each of these three projects has been the successful outcome of good collaboration with our clients to whom we are grateful for their trust.
The respectful refurbishment of this 1880’s old dairy with contemporary additions is balanced with a quirky furnishings strategy that bridges old and new. The interlinking series of spaces have their own meaning and character reflecting the art collection and personalities of the owners.
Our response to the building’s original dominant materials was to embrace the earth tones but mitigate with softer linking finishes and introduce furnishings that enhance each area. This is clearly exemplified in the kitchen to gallery/dining room area where new floorboards unite the old and new. The mood and finishes of the new kitchen comfortably lead into the traditional formal dining gallery with reinstated period details, original fireplace and contemporary furniture, within a richly coloured and textured envelope.
The success of this delightful project was to a large extent due to a trusting and collaborative relationship with our client.

Our clients’ brief for the interior of this newly built home overlooking Sydney harbour, was to create a sophisticated, elegant family home emanating warmth, drama, contrast and comfort. We created a cohesive sequence of spaces throughout the entry level with a series of framed interior vistas, portals and screens, inserted to articulate scaled, comfortable spaces. These elements kept the floor plan fluid and light-filled whilst simultaneously creating intrigue, intimacy and connectivity.
A successful balance was achieved between the masculine aesthetic set by the architectural envelope and the elegant brief set by the Client. Considered transitioning of materials resulted in a dynamic juxtaposition of texture, colour and scale. Warm, raw, cool, polished and waxed elements are woven throughout creating an intriguing marriage of distinct but harmonious textures.
