This stunning main bathroom is very inviting.

Graced with character and a history, this grand merchant’s terrace was restored and expanded to suit the demands of a family of five.

The client’s vision was to create a contemporary bathroom with custom touches to produce an earthy, relaxing aesthetic. To create the look, custom timber cabinetry was specified, contrasted with matte black fittings and fixtures. Light and dark, large-format floor and wall tiles were also chosen reinforcing the contrasting effect. The shower offers a modern touch featuring subway tiles in a herringbone pattern and a free-standing bath was installed by the large window for the ultimate indulgence. The end result is a relaxing, modern yet refined space reflecting their style and complementing the rest of their home.

True to our philosophy, a Modern Elegance kitchen can be quite pared back or very ornate, depending on your taste.

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.

Our clients, a fun-loving, down-to-earth family, tasked us with creating their dream kitchen. Since purchasing their forever home, they have been busy infusing every room with their love for natural materials and expressive colours. After realising their vision in the master bedroom and ensuite upstairs, it was now time to transform the kitchen into a space with character and depth to match.
