Addressing the master suite
The master suite was in a good location, but was very underwhelming.
So we demolished the whole area internally, and removed the wall between the bedroom and the dressing room.
This allowed us to achieve a number of things – create the new dividing wall cabinetry block which doubles as the rear of the dressing room; create two entrances to a larger dressing room; move and centre the bed to not only maximise the view out to the pool and garden, but also so that you feel the impact of the detailed panelled wall upon entering the room (particularly in reflection of the full height entrance panelling).
Consideration was given to extend the ensuite into the powder room adjacent and make a larger room with a bath, however the owners ultimately decided against this.
Design detail inspiration
The existing entrance had a small section of wall panelling, so we chose that as one of the elements to work with.
There we extended this to line all the walls full height, with the panelling finished in white.
In the master bedroom we mimicked the design, but finished it in a black 2pac – and continued that into the rest of the master suite.
In the new dressing room, those details were again used, but this time on the drawer fronts.
This consistency between spaces and details was vital to the success of this project, especially given the generous size of the house.
