Description

An existing double-storey terrace house in Carlton was completely refurbished, to give new life to ageing interiors.

A restricted materials palette of black & white porcelain tiles, light timber veneer cabinetry, black fixtures and fittings and green highlights were introduced throughout the house.

The predominantly white backdrop draws natural light into previously darkened spaces and provides a clean canvas for the collector’s bespoke furniture pieces and artwork.

What were the solutions?

Opening up the interior spaces to draw in more light and create a larger sense of space; Rationalising the location if new and existing wet areas;

What was the brief?

To refresh the overall appearance of the interior finishes and make the spaces lighter and brighter;
To create a comfortable "forever home."

Key products used:

'Novello' bathroom products.

What were the key challenges?

Working within tight and restrictive spaces, with limited site access and budget.
