Outdoor entertaining area under a covered patio roof with stone feature tiles

Summer Hill

 A bold, minimal approach to renovations while retaining the relationship to the streetscape and enhancing 

the heritage appeal to the tree lined popular street.

We often see homes that have lost a number of their original heritage decorative features, with unsympathetic inclusions, exclusions and modifications that change the nature of the building. 


This semi-detached cottage lost most of its charm over the years with piece by piece picking away at period features by previous owners, leaving the house a home without a distinct character. 

Kitchen with Black feature island and white cabinetry

Our client wanted a bold, minimal approach to the renovations. 


Focusing on a minimalist palette of Dulux Lexicon Quarter White, Taubmans All Black and American Oak lime washed floors, accents and reveals throughout. Enlisting local Architect Karmatecture.

The rear of the house was raised to the rafters creating an enormous amount of light and generating space for a designer kitchen and entertaining area, the addition of a powder room and European style built in laundry.

Attention was paid to lighting throughout with multiple lighting options from task, ambient and feature lighting for entertaining, brightening of a terrace space, task and low impact night lighting and feature lighting. 


Allowing the house to flow from day to night and expand purposes for their growing family. 






The internal minimal modernist approach to ceilings, doors and joinery 

created a strong yet relaxed character. 


Working with the clients wishes for a minimal palette of materials 

and colours. Consisting of black, white and wood using American Oak, lime washing 

for floors and Oak feature doorway reveals. 


Custom cabinetry and sliding doors throughout opened the space and allowed cabinetry and storage to flow end to end in bedrooms and bathrooms. Creating 

a seamless and modern finish.

Custom hand made floor to ceiling black  sliding doors with American oak door revels

Highlighting tall ceilings throughout by opening the hallway to full width and following the new full ceiling height from front to back with bedroom and bathroom doorways opened floor to ceiling. 


Allowing natural light to flood the hallway, we created custom hand made floor to ceiling sliding doors and custom cabinetry throughout bedrooms, study, living spaces, kitchen and bathroom. 

Creating a cohesive flow of both pattern, materials and colours that is both bold and simple in design.


We believe that every home should be a reflection of its owner. That's why we work closely with our clients to create custom home designs that are tailored to their unique needs and style.
