We approached the redesign as though we were clearing the building back to its shell, then rebuiling the floor plan with intention. Five principles guided every decision: flow, connect, play, gather, relax. The ground floor was opened across the full rear - kitchen, dining and family living - drawing the eye naturally toward the garden, while the front gained a quieter grown-up living room with clear sight lines through. Upstairs, a generous principal suite and kids' spaces replaced a fragmented layout. The top floor became a flexible zone for work, play and hosting. Over twenty bespoke joinery pieces, all designed by us, set the character and pace of the home across every level.
