Chic on Terrace
The blend of Japanese cedar & Stoh cladding contrasts beautifully with crisp architectural lines and contemporary detailing, creating a facade that is both visually striking and enduring. Designed with longevity in mind, it marries beauty with function seamlessly. Inside, the palette flows effortlessly from the exterior, maintaining a clean transition and a light, airy atmosphere. By keeping all the timbers within the same tonal family, the home achieves a cohesive sense of harmony that feels both refined and inviting.

The Process
This project was shaped by a client with a strong sense of style and a clear vision - knowing what resonated while remaining open to exploration and discovery along the way. A curated collection of art, treasured objects, and distinctive furniture pieces became the springboard for the design direction
Early Design Workshops
As with all our projects, the process was highly collaborative from the outset. We began by curating a visual moodboard that captured ideas and references gathered through early conversations with the client, discussing not only how the spaces should function but also how they should feel.
Material Selection
Material selection was key to transforming the home’s modest early 2000s bones into a space that felt layered and lived in, integrating the client’s cherished furniture and collected treasures. We created a cohesive connection between these differing styles by embracing warm, bold paint colours, rich chocolatey tones, and natural materials with texture. The result is a layered, timeless interior with a contemporary edge - a careful nod to both old and new.
Bringing the Vision to Life
Understanding the client’s vision was at the heart of every choice. Through careful attention to their preferences and lifestyle, we shaped a space that feels deeply personal - layered and expressive, capturing the client’s individuality while balancing modern comforts with character.
Attention to Detail
Working closely with every trade - from the kitchen designer and builder to the tiler - we ensured that every detail was carefully considered and executed.
Finishing Touches
We were fortunate to collaborate with the client on the finishing touches, from window treatments to bedding, allowing the design to extend beyond the hard finishes and truly feel complete. The most rewarding moment came when the client moved in, and their carefully collected treasures found their place - the very pieces that had inspired the design from the very beginning.
