Elegantly understated, the adaptation of this existing Victorian home employs a muted material & colour palette to update its original heritage design for the backdrop of a busy, modern family life. With well-considered design elements, bespoke details and luxurious finishes like travertine, marble, handmade tiles & herringbone timber flooring the project stays true to the craftsmanship of a bygone era, while introducing contemporary elements in a thoughtful way.
While the principal rooms of the existing house were renovated & restored with a light modern touch, much of the design demanded close attention to detail, from reimagining traditional elements such as additional lead-light, refurbished fireplaces and tessellated tile pattern, to introducing new dynamic elements such as steel frame warehouse style windows and a modern open living space with a soaring up-lit cathedral ceiling.

Carried out in collaboration with Empire Interiors and Tamvakis Group, the overall outcome is an elegant and confident design that utilises a variety of traditional and modern strategies to create an environment that is conducive to a calm, ordered and beautiful, well-functioning family home.

Testimonial... “We engaged Michelle to help bring the vision of our family home to life. From the first meeting Michelle was so passionate, professional and honest. No problem was too big, and she always found effective solutions. Michelle made the process of renovating so enjoyable. Not sure what we would have done without her vision and guidance.” M. & S. Paterakis
