Welcome

A 100 year old home – a new look.  Working with the old and injecting the new.  Whilst the new bathroom replaced the old, the aged timber floor threshold visually carries one into a luxurious new bathroom. Patterned floor tiles, a harmonious grey veneer to the joinery, contemporary fixtures and fittings, colours remain connected to the adjoining renovated Laundry. Existing old joinery handles close the time gap, where again old meets new.

Nestled in a lush green part of Donvale, this older home, together with the client’s amazing collection of art and furniture – lent itself to the use of autumnal tones, both in the interior refurbishment and recolouring of the exterior. The client has a close connection to nature and wildlife, and this truly was a home where the garden and exterior became linked to the interior – seamlessly. 

Working with McLauchlan Building Designers as their Interior Designer on this project, was indeed an inspiring team effort. Attention to detail was important – the exterior palette and interior design were considered a ‘relationship’ – with the clients involved every step of the way.

Functional layout, together with considered selections of flooring, finishes, storage, and entertainment requirements, drove the design. The clients were involved every step of the way – and they love their new home.
