Location and type of project: Clovelly, Renovation
Date of completion: May 2021

Acheived over two phases, this project saw a 4-bedroom period frontage home undergo an extensive, contemporary renovation both inside and out.

Works to the rear of the property created a functional and welcoming entertaining space complete with a new garage that allows direct access to the courtyard and pool area, custom bench seating for outdoor dining, and cedar and tallow wood screening establishing a perimeter and privacy.

The period facade underwent an upgrade with sandstone used to create a daybed infront of the home with access to the established garden. Inside, a full renovation resulted in a modern and open plan living space that connects seamlessly to the rear courtyard.

The contrast of sandstone and timbers used within the leafy setting are standout features and the result is a lifestyle-focused home that will patina naturally over the years, adding yet further character to the dwelling.
