Nestled in a quiet and beautiful bay on Sydney's Harbour, this project involved a significant refurbishment of a large Federation House in a conservation area, that transformed into an elegant and sophisticated family home. 

Externally, a new entrance was created and at the back a covered terrace was added to take advantage of the extensive Harbour views. The gardens were extensively remodelled and include a new swimming pool. Internally, a new staircase makes a strong and stunning architectural statement, connecting the three levels of the house and providing a link to the lower floor and back gardens. 

The exquisite interior design palette, designed in collaboration with Interior Designers Hare + Klein, is highly detailed and textural, consisting of luxe finishes, lighting and unique furniture which reflect the client's heritage and extensive travels.While from approach the home retains its original charm, reflecting the origins of its initial conception, the more significant transformation occurs internally. A consistent palette is used throughout, built from a neutral base of muted and textural elements, which are then framed through black and steel metal work. Glazing to internal doors and transitions ensures uninterrupted sightlines between spaces and encourages light to spill through between zones.
