“Our Baxter project was a careful modernization of a 1904 classic California bungalow. Ceramics, matte finishes, natural materials and uncovering of expansive views drove the design. A central artery of millwork allowed us to create generous storage where it had previously been lacking. A custom bookshelf climbs two stories to house an extensive literature collection. The kitchen and closets were designed for ease of use and hiding of clutter. The light fixtures were hand made by local ceramic artist Heather Levine.”

"We opted for a colour palette that eschews the expected coastal bright whites and cool blues for a sophisticated pairing of sun-kissed terracotta and earthy khaki with judicious accents of soft blues and greens ... Fun, youthful and relaxed, the home sparks joy for its inhabitants and visitors, but above all it is a practical family home where function is paramount."

“Instilled with a European sensibility, East End Residence combines a delicacy in refined detail, together with a complete reimagining of the interior to anchor itself in place for many years to come. Set within Adelaide’s heritage East End precinct, the original home sits as a relatively contemporary insertion, yet lacked purpose. Drawing from an original connection to an artisanal approach and the weaving of industry, the home becomes a reawakening of both opportunity and place. The underlying focus hones in on creating a realignment to the surrounds, reinforcing views out toward the parklands as well as enhancing movement throughout.”

Inspired by the joyful and eclectic atmosphere of the home in the ‘Paddington’ films we created a vibrant, pattern filled home for design lovers, with an emphasis on practical solutions for family life and interesting design details throughout.
This could not be more perfect for a family with young kids. The colours are so fresh and incredibly fun and have such a wonderful energy. Immediately brings a smile to my face. Also how can you not love a yellow kitchen?

“We worked closely with the clients and the architect to bring this Bondi property to life and ensure it was a space that was reflective, not only of its surroundings but also of the young family who would be inhabiting it. From the relaxed rendered walls to the amazing marble and joinery details, the home is a masterpiece in architectural details and personality.”
