Architect / Interior Designer: Madeleine Blanchfield Architects (@madeleineblanchfieldarchitects)
Joinery: FAF Woodwork & Design (@faf_woodwork)
Key finishes: American oak, limestone, microcement, Bauwerk limewash, Chillingham brickwork, and skylights
Completed after around 18 months of construction, this major alteration and addition was designed as a multi-generational family home, with spaces that support comfort, privacy and easy movement between levels. A custom lift improves accessibility, while the layout creates a strong connection between the indoor living areas, pool, spa, landscaping and stone terraces.
The home brings together extensive custom joinery, American oak, limestone, microcement, Bauwerk limewash and Chillingham brickwork. Circular skylights, breeze block detailing, custom balustrading, large doors and softer curved forms add warmth and character throughout. Behind the calm finished result was detailed coordination across the structure, glazing, joinery, stonework, landscaping and custom fabrication.
Designed for long-term family living, the home also includes a 40,000-litre water tank and a circular glass floor panel set into the terrace, creating a visual connection to the level below.

Flooring: Blackbutt timber flooring
Cladding: Trendplank cladding
Energy: Rooftop solar system
Other Features: Thermally broken windows, pool & pergola
This extensive renovation began with a serious problem. Despite being only around 15 years old, the original architectural home had suffered major water damage caused by leaking windows and failures across the roof and external envelope.
The project focused on repairing the damage properly and improving the home’s long-term durability, comfort and performance. Windows and weatherproofing details were addressed, insulation was upgraded, and the building envelope was carefully rebuilt to better manage moisture and protect the home from future damage.
Blackbutt flooring, Trendplank cladding, rooftop solar and renewed outdoor areas bring warmth and practicality to the finished home. The project is a strong example of why good detailing matters, especially around windows, roofs and external junctions. These hidden parts of a build play a major role in keeping a home dry, comfortable and healthy for years to come.
Rather than replacing the home, the renovation worked with the existing structure and gave it a more durable, efficient and considered future.

A remarkable alteration and addition project with repeat clients who lived overseas.
This project features a split skillion roof with high ceilings as a way of elevating the property to create a sense of scale and volume, which also ensures that the house is flooded with natural light.
With its soaring ceilings, expansive views along with the natural stone, striking timber and beautiful joinery, this project has received a well-deserved feature in Inside Out Magazine @insideoutmag and soon to be featured at Australia's Best Home @australiasbesthouse.

Kitchen: Woodcut Australia @woodcut_aus
A carefully curated palette of warm, neutral, and cool tones imparts a subtle charm to this project.
The extensive use of light timber prominently enhances the warmth of the space. The walls feature Odessa oak cladding from Lamicolor, adding a timeless touch.
The Scandi-inspired kitchen include smart design features such as plenty of pull-out storage, a deep undermount sink to ease with cleaning and achieve a seamless finish on the benchtop, and mirror splash back to maximise the natural light spread throughout the whole kitchen.

Floors: Acorn Timber Flooring @acorntimberflooring
Description: One of the standout features of this house is the expansive raked gable ceiling, strategically designed to capture panoramic views of both the beach and the district.
To achieve the desired modern and contemporary aesthetic, we employed a combination of render and cement, seamlessly integrating the structure into its surroundings while maintaining a sophisticated appearance.

The commanding, moody colour palette of this house perfectly complements the richness of the timber. The split skillion roof idea took root for three reasons: light infusion, a commanding street presence, and scaling perfection for the upper chambers. The trifecta of the rear deck, BBQ area, and kitchen is perfect for creating unforgettable memories.

Turning a simple backyard and deck into a stunning pool and landscape was no small feat.
This project demanded meticulous planning and skilled execution - the old pool was removed and a new one was craned in. An architectural pool house with a floating timber-wrapped beam above the doors was built, and the front and backyards were landscaped. Blackbutt cladding was installed with custom AC grills routed in, Beautiful microcement was then placed in the bathroom and wet bar giving some texture. The rear house doors were opened up, and a new driveway, front gate, and fencing have been added.
The result: a charming Hamptons style house with a refreshed facade, a new pool, a stylish pool house, and beautifully landscaped yards for the clients to enjoy.
