Summer Hill
Completed in stages over three summers, stage one included the renovation of the two existing bathrooms in this Victorian terrace. As a heritage-listed property, the changes were constrained to the footprint of the existing house to avoid council approvals.
For stage two, the owners wished for a brighter, larger and more functional kitchen space with a better connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces. The laundry was relocated and a new bathroom was created in the existing studio.
The colour selection throughout was inspired by a photograph of the clients' family holiday to Marrakesh. It was also important to consider the client's colourful collection of ceramics that would become a feature in the new kitchen. The colour scheme, brass details and use of timber, brick and concrete all work together to make these rooms evoke a sense of playfulness and joy.
