The powder room combines several different textures: the gray stone accent wall, the grasscloth walls and the live-edge slab we used to compliment the contemporary vessel sink. A custom mirror was made to play off the silver tones of the hardware. A modern lighting fixture was installed horizontally to play with the asymmetrical feel in the room.

Hood House is a playful protector that respects the heritage character of Carlton North whilst celebrating purposeful change. It is a luxurious yet compact and hyper-functional home defined by an exploration of contrast: it is ornamental and restrained, subdued and lively, stately and casual, compartmental and open. For us, it is also a project with an unusual history. This dual-natured renovation evolved through the ownership of two separate clients. Originally intended to accommodate the needs of a young family of four, we shifted gears at the eleventh hour and adapted a thoroughly resolved design solution to the needs of only two. From a young, nuclear family to a blended adult one, our design solution was put to a test of flexibility. The result is a subtle renovation almost invisible from the street yet dramatic in its expressive qualities. An oblique view from the northwest reveals the playful zigzag of the new roof, the rippling metal hood. This is a form-making exercise that connects old to new as well as establishing spatial drama in what might otherwise have been utilitarian rooms upstairs. A simple palette of Australian hardwood timbers and white surfaces are complimented by tactile splashes of brass and rich moments of colour that reveal themselves from behind closed doors. Our internal joke is that Hood House is like Lazarus, risen from the ashes. We’re grateful that almost six years of hard work have culminated in this beautiful, protective and playful house, and so pleased that Glenda and Alistair get to call it home.

Der neue Waschplatz ist großzügig, klar strukturiert und angenehm ausgeleuchtet.

Nach der Umgestaltung entsteht ein barrierefreies Bad mit großformatigen Natursteinfliesen in Kombination mit einer warmen Holzfliese am Boden und einer hinterleuchteten Spanndecke. Besonders im Duschbereich gibt es durch die raumhohen Fliesen fast keine Fugen. Die Dusche kann mit 2 Flügeltüren großzügig breit geöffnet werden und ist so konzipiert, dass sie auch mit einem Rollstuhl befahren werden kann.

A charming country nook of a bathroom, this little space is a beautiful nod to the outdoors. The Medallion cabinetry is a great match for the vintage medicine chest. Natural textures abound and leave you expecting to hear birdsong.
