This was a building project as side extension to the house for a busy blended family, so we were working from scratch. It needed to be a multi use room for relaxing, playing and working from home.

[Our Clients] We were so excited to help these new homeowners re-envision their split-level diamond in the rough. There was so much potential in those walls, and we couldn’t wait to delve in and start transforming spaces. Our primary goal was to re-imagine the main level of the home and create an open flow between the space. So, we started by converting the existing single car garage into their living room (complete with a new fireplace) and opening up the kitchen to the rest of the level. [Kitchen] The original kitchen had been on the small side and cut-off from the rest of the home, but after we removed the coat closet, this kitchen opened up beautifully. Our plan was to create an open and light filled kitchen with a design that translated well to the other spaces in this home, and a layout that offered plenty of space for multiple cooks. We utilized clean white cabinets around the perimeter of the kitchen and popped the island with a spunky shade of blue. To add a real element of fun, we jazzed it up with the colorful escher tile at the backsplash and brought in accents of brass in the hardware and light fixtures to tie it all together. Through out this home we brought in warm wood accents and the kitchen was no exception, with its custom floating shelves and graceful waterfall butcher block counter at the island. [Dining Room] The dining room had once been the home’s living room, but we had other plans in mind. With its dramatic vaulted ceiling and new custom steel railing, this room was just screaming for a dramatic light fixture and a large table to welcome one-and-all. [Living Room] We converted the original garage into a lovely little living room with a cozy fireplace. There is plenty of new storage in this space (that ties in with the kitchen finishes), but the real gem is the reading nook with two of the most comfortable armchairs you’ve ever sat in. [Master Suite] This home didn’t originally have a master suite, so we decided to convert one of the bedrooms and create a charming suite that you’d never want to leave. The master bathroom aesthetic quickly became all about the textures. With a sultry black hex on the floor and a dimensional geometric tile on the walls we set the stage for a calm space. The warm walnut vanity and touches of brass cozy up the space and relate with the feel of the rest of the home. We continued the warm wood touches into the master bedroom, but went for a rich accent wall that elevated the sophistication level and sets this space apart. [Hall Bathroom] The floor tile in this bathroom still makes our hearts skip a beat. We designed the rest of the space to be a clean and bright white, and really let the lovely blue of the floor tile pop. The walnut vanity cabinet (complete with hairpin legs) adds a lovely level of warmth to this bathroom, and the black and brass accents add the sophisticated touch we were looking for. [Office] We loved the original built-ins in this space, and knew they needed to always be a part of this house, but these 60-year-old beauties definitely needed a little help. We cleaned up the cabinets and brass hardware, switched out the formica counter for a new quartz top, and painted wall a cheery accent color to liven it up a bit. And voila! We have an office that is the envy of the neighborhood.

Bike shed/ outhouse conversion for the all important home office that many of my clients now require. We had to keep the existing floor, but the dark textured walls, industrial wall lights, and pops of yellow all helped with creating an inviting space for chilling and working.

Our client was a high-profile barrister who recently acquired a new office in Sydney. The space itself came with a spectacular view, however the interior didn’t exactly match it. As always, we shared in-depth conversations with our client that allowed us to determine first and foremost the key functional requirements of his new office. These needs then informed the design—a modern take on the traditional barrister’s office. An abundance of storage was paramount for books and folders, so we installed two large shelving units across the entire back wall of the office. These are positioned above a full-width credenza that contains a mix of file drawers and sliding doors. We chose American oak timber as a lighter and fresher alternative to the dark mahogany traditionally used in barristers’ furniture, complimented by a eucalyptus green feature wall—a nod to traditional green leather mats often featured on desk tops. We applied a grey Abet Laminati to selected doors and drawer fronts of the credenza to contrast the oak. The bookshelves feature lap-joined verticals that correspond to the handles of the credenzas and a chamfered edge profile at an angle opposite to that of the credenza top. Finally, there is the centrepiece of the room—a large desk with tapered profiled legs in American oak and a green painted front modesty panel to tie in with the surrounding wall. Not a bad view at all.

We wanted to create a sophisticated office space for our client that offered a workstation, a sitting area, and storage space for her Disney collectibles. We added elegant touches like this molding and wainscoting accent wall with two custom art pieces. We also used our woodworking artisan to create a custom console table for the area.
