Paying homage to this 1880s Paddington terraces’ heritage, while giving it a modern makeover was key in every decision made during its complete renovation.  The balance between retaining its character and providing functional living resulted in detailed custom joinery and carefully considered layering of textures and materials. Specialised lighting allows the owners extensive art collection to be fully appreciated, while clever storage solutions keeps clutter out of sight. The abundance of light flooding the living spaces gives this home a light and airy feel which is complemented by furniture choices that enhance the feeling of spaciousness despite the narrow footprint of the building.  It is a perfect fusion of old and new – coming together to write the narrative of a much loved residence.

A monochromatic palette with beautiful textures, accented with pops of colour is the perfect fit for the young stylish couple who dwell there. Every millimetre of the compact floorplan was considered to maximize functionality – from the storage-savvy banquette seating in the kitchen for comfortable conversation during meal preparation, to the wall bed allowing the office to effortlessly become a guest bedroom. The connection to courtyard dining from both the kitchen and living areas leads to a feeling of spaciousness as light floods into the core of the home. Custom open shelving in the living provides the perfect platform to display precious items gathered from past travels. A photo of one of their favourite places in Milan has pride of place as a custom wallpaper in the dining area. Highly curated spaces in this inner-city apartment have resulted in a sophisticated, timeless interior where treasured objects are thoroughly enjoyed.

This dated 1940’s home was bought to life with a full facelift and new rear extension. The brief was for a “fun but functional home”, one full of life and personality. Hard wearing, child and pet-friendly materials that were robust enough to handle this active family were chosen, while textured fabrics representing a lively colour palette complement the garden flora. Meticulous attention was given to the spatial planning resulting in each space having a meaningful purpose with an easy flow throughout. Consideration was also given for areas of sanctuary and respite for this busy household. The result is a light-filled, vibrant home with a focus on family living that connects seamlessly to the sundrenched garden beyond. While meeting the needs of its young inhabitants, there is also a level of sophistication that sets the tone for long dinner parties and alfresco cocktails.
