Extra storage was added above the toilet in this bathroom – sitting on a half wall concealing the in-wall cistern – in the same livery as the vanity

Long, low furniture accentuates the proportions of this renovated space – a white and light timber palette provides a neutral backdrop for artworks

For this landscaping project, the rotting timber deck was replaced with Biowood composite decking for its durability, water & termite resistance

The ornate herringbone tile pattern in the shower brings a splash of colour and a dash of implied artisanship to this bathroom

The gas fire in this living room provides an excuse for a dramatic architectural statement while the long hearth doubles as shelving and even seating
