Clements is a transformed Californian bungalow in Drummoyne, Sydney featuring a two-storey refurbishment by Some Studio. The design turned a once disconnected interior into an expansive, tactile space that flows harmoniously. The interior reflects the local landscape and exudes quiet luxury through light, texture, and rich colours. Burnished oak and the original deep brown brick anchor the home’s design, while Ross Gardam feature lighting and Brodware brass tapware add refined details. Earthy materials like rich marbles and organic plaster balance solid forms. Major floor plan changes created open communal spaces with a central free-form island and skylights maximizing natural light for a vibrant, modern lifestyle.

Freshwater by Madeleine Blanchfield Architects is a beautifully designed family residence that prioritizes both function and aesthetics. The home’s crisp architectural edges create a frame that draws the eye inward, showcasing the light-filled interior and lush courtyard. Nestled in a serene suburban area, the design fosters introspection rather than outward views. The generous layout promotes a sense of spaciousness and interconnectedness, with internal vistas linking separate rooms. A single-storey rear pavilion features a skylit roof, flooding the open-plan living spaces with northern light. The sculptural kitchen island serves as a focal point, echoing the home’s design motifs. Materials like brick and concrete provide a raw, tactile quality, while timber accents soften the look. Custom terrazzo flooring with subtle pink flecks adds warmth and the timber-clad study offers a cozy retreat. Overall, the residence captures a modern essence, creating a joyful environment for family life within its leafy surroundings.

This project atop Mt Hotham was a passion for clients who love skiing and the stunning alpine views of Victoria’s High Country. Initiated during COVID, it presented challenges due to restrictions at the alpine resort, tight construction deadlines and extreme weather. Katie Sargent Design has transformed the chalet from a 90s box into a warm, inviting retreat. The final space is perfect for sharing with family and friends.
