Master Bathroom. Elegant simplicity, dominated by spaciousness, ample natural lighting, simple & functional layout with restrained fixtures, ambient wall lighting, and refined material palette.

A contemporary holiday home located on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula featuring rammed earth walls, timber lined ceilings and flagstone floors. This home incorporates strong, natural elements and the joinery throughout features custom, stained oak timber cabinetry and natural limestone benchtops. With a nod to the mid century modern era and a balance of natural, warm elements this home displays a uniquely Australian design style. This home is a cocoon like sanctuary for rejuvenation and relaxation with all the modern conveniences one could wish for thoughtfully integrated.

We added an ensuite to this heritage bedroom, pulled out a fireplace and pushed back a wall 1.5m to accommodate a walk-in robe. The colour emerald was chosen as the key feature colour so a custom emerald bedhead with ribbing was made. The lovely 'Lily' fabric was chosen for the curtains, bed cushions and also the bench seat in the walk-in robe which also has custom joinery. After these photos were taken, bedside tables with gold fixtures, a dramatic gold mirror above the bed and art works were added. The custom joinery in the walk-in includes a make-up station.

You enter the property from the high side through a contemporary iron gate to access a large double garage with internal access. A natural stone blade leads to our signature, individually designed timber entry door. The top-floor entry flows into a spacious open-plan living, dining, kitchen area drenched in natural light and ample glazing captures the breathtaking views over middle harbour. The open-plan living area features a high curved ceiling which exaggerates the space and creates a unique and striking frame to the vista. With stone that cascades to the floor, the island bench is a dramatic focal point of the kitchen. Designed for entertaining and positioned to capture the vista. Custom designed dark timber joinery brings out the warmth in the stone bench. Also on this level, a dramatic powder room with a teal and navy blue colour palette, a butler’s pantry, a modernized formal dining space, a large outdoor balcony, a cozy sitting nook with custom joinery specifically designed to house the client’s vinyl record player. This split-level home cascades down the site following the contours of the land. As we step down from the living area, the internal staircase with double heigh ceilings, pendant lighting and timber slats which create an impressive backdrop for the dining area. On the next level, we come to a home office/entertainment room. Double height ceilings and exotic wallpaper make this space intensely more interesting than your average home office! Floor-to-ceiling glazing captures an outdoor tropical oasis, adding to the wow factor. The following floor includes guest bedrooms with ensuites, a laundry and the master bedroom with a generous balcony and an ensuite that presents a large bath beside a picture window allowing you to capture the westerly sunset views from the tub. The ground floor to this split-level home features a rumpus room which flows out onto the rear garden.

This luxury dressing room has a safari theme. Featuring polytec notaio walnut and laminex brushed bronze. Previously the room had two entrances, by deleting one of the entrances, we were able to create a cul-de-sac style space at one end for a beautiful floating dressing table on front of the "halo effect" of the backlit feature mirror. To maximise space and organisation all clothing was measured and shoes counted. Angling the shoe shelves made enough space for the seat to fit in front of the shoes without needing to project beyond the main cabinetry. Shoe drawers stack casual shoes vertically for convenience of viewing and selecting. A custom scarf rack ensures scarves are very visible and stored in a non slip solution, making great use of the narrow space outside the ensuite.

‘Oh What A Ceiling!’ ingeniously transformed a tired mid-century brick veneer house into a suburban oasis for a multigenerational family. Our clients, Gabby and Peter, came to us with a desire to reimagine their ageing home such that it could better cater to their modern lifestyles, accommodate those of their adult children and grandchildren, and provide a more intimate and meaningful connection with their garden. The renovation would reinvigorate their home and allow them to re-engage with their passions for cooking and sewing, and explore their skills in the garden and workshop.
