We are so excited to showcase The Lake House! A full home renovation of an original Lake House built in the 1970’s. Located in Canyon Lake, CA. We gutted this house, changed the floorplan to be more functional, raised the ceiling in the kitchen, and wrapped the existing beams in veneer. We designed every square foot of this home, from the four bathrooms, to the two kitchens, the design encompases a cohesive color palette, and exquisite materials. The Lake House is playful, yet sophisticated, with a nod to the original 70’s architecture and vibe.
This home definitively has some mid-century still kicking around but more modern vibes added with this new revival. It is funky, bright and playful and I could not love that living room more – the soaring ceilings and knotty pine walls and that fantastic free-standing fireplace in the centre. Brilliant!!!

This kitchen renovation designed by Annabel Grimshaw transformed a cramped Georgian space into a vibrant, functional heart of the home. A modest two-meter garden extension created room for a kitchen island, dining area and compact utility room, dramatically improving the layout. Expansive metal-framed glazing floods the space with light, adding a contemporary touch to the historic architecture. DeVol joinery takes centre stage, complemented by personal touches like curated fabrics and artwork. The result is a warm, timeless and inviting space for family and friends to gather. (Keep an eye out at the end for the cutest little laundry.)

A captivating mix of historic charm and contemporary family living. The owners approached us after buying the property as their forever family home. We worked closely with Ailtire Architects and Wraxall, a Bath based building firm renown for their work on historic houses; undoing modern insertions and restoring original features more in keeping with the heritage of the 1840’s Grade II listed former Vicarage. We didn’t want it to feel overly done, nor impose a have stamp, rather gently re-work spaces with contemporary family life in mind, whilst respecting the original fabric of the building.
This home is oozing charm from every corner. I absolutely love this and as a forever home, I can imagine forever loving living here and never ever wanting to leave. Designed by Anna Haines. Photos: Paul Whitbread. (Check out more photos here)

The Wilam Ngarrang Retrofit project highlights the environmental, social, and financial advantages of retrofitting Melbourne’s inner-city apartments. Kennedy Nolan implemented a ‘minimal-intervention’ approach to upgrade a 1970s Fitzroy apartment block. The retrofit improved thermal performance, extended the building’s lifespan and enhanced tenant amenities. Key goals included achieving net-positive energy, reducing water demands, minimizing construction waste and carbon emissions and promoting zero-waste operations. The project retained the building structure, added efficient water systems, a 33kW rooftop solar array and heat recovery ventilation. Tenants enjoy up to 80% bill savings, with two units offered below market rates through non-profit real estate agency HomeGround.

WOW this home is a beauty!!! A new build with traditional details that make it appear over a century old, and the interior gives Tuscan farmhouse vibes. Classic in every sense of the world, and once this home has been there a century it will be just as warm and inviting.
