Newtown Residence

Residing on the ‘Victorian Heritage Register’ this illustrious Colony Regency residence is steeped in history and stands as a testament to a storied past, undergoing a transformative full renovation and extension. The result is a contemporary abode that comfortably accommodates a family of 5 harmonizing with the existing architectural grandeur and preserving it’s remarkable history.

The project’s comprehensive scope encompassed the meticulous design of the spacious extension, featuring a well-appointed kitchen, scullery and a casual living and dining area. The extension seamlessly connects to a generously proportioned terrace that gracefully descends to a freestanding gym and wellness building within the meticulously landscaped garden. The thoughtful design facilitates a fluid transition between the existing formal rooms and the modern rear extension, culminating in a residence that effortlessly bridges the gap between the old and the new.

A careful selection of materials further enhances the project’s allure, incorporating elements such as natural stone, terrazzo, timber, feature tiles, speciality paint finishes, bespoke carpet and custom joinery. These elements combined with curated artwork, distinctive objects and specially commissioned pieces contribute to a layered palette and materiality that adds depth and character to the living spaces.

Through a process of highly considered design, meticulous detailing and thoughtful material selections we collaborated closely with the client. The objective was to ensure that within the historical envelope of grandeur the house transcended mere architectural significance to become a true home – a sanctuary that exudes comfort and understated luxury tailored for everyday living.
