We were asked by the client to produce designs for a small mews house that would maximise the potential of the site on this very compact footprint. One of the principal design requirements was to bring as much natural light down through the building as possible without compromising room sizes and spacial arrangements. Both a full basement and roof extension have been added doubling the floor area. A stacked two storey cantilevered glass stair with full height glazed screens connects the upper floors to the basement maximising daylight penetration. The positioning and the transparency of the stair on the rear wall of the house create the illusion of space and provide a dramatic statement in the open plan rooms of the house. Wide plank, full length, natural timber floors are used as a warm contrast to the harder glazed elements. The project was highly commended at the United Kingdom Property Awards and commended at the Sunday Times British Homes Awards. The project has been published in Grand Designs Magazine, The Sunday Times and Sunday Telegraph.

This gorgeous family home located in southern Sydney has been transformed over the course of 12 months. Our clients were a young family who had recently moved into the home and were faced with an abundance of space to fill. They had a good idea of the looks they liked, but felt unsure about where to buy furniture and homewares and how to pull the whole look together. Together we agreed that their style was a hybrid of Scandi meets luxes meets family friendly. The first area we worked on was the formal living space. The room had very generous proportions and great natural light. Although technically a formal space, with two small children the room still needed to be family friendly. Matching charcoal grey sofas are a comfy choice and the durable fabric choice easily hides wear and tear. When it came to cushions, texture was the name of the game. Leather, linen and velvet all feature heavily, with a soft palette of pale pink, grey, navy, neutrals and tan. It’s the little finishing touches that make this room extra special. We chose concrete and marble accessories with small doses of black and timber to keep the look fresh and modern. Next on our list was the master bedroom. And it was here that we really upped the luxury factor. Our clients really wanted this space to feel like an adults-only escape. We kept much of the colour palette from the downstairs area – navy, pale pink and grey – but we also added in crisp white and soft oatmeal tones to soften the look. We ditched the Scandi vibes and introduced luxury embellishments like glass lamp bases and tufting in the bedhead and footstool. The result was the perfect blend of relaxation and glamour. The final area to receive our magic touch was the dining room and kitchen. Many of the larger pieces were already in place, but the rooms needed dressing to bring them to life. Minty greens, cool greys and soft pinks work back perfectly with a blonde timber dining table a fresh white kitchen. Overall, each area of the home has it’s own distinct look, yet there are enough common elements in place to creative a cohesive design scheme. It’s a contemporary home that the clients and their young family will enjoy for many years to come. Scott Keenan - @travellingman_au

Turning your little girl's bedroom into a teenage girl's one requires a few styling items updates, some vibrant colours and organised storage for that ever-growing wardrobe! The key is to still offer flexibility of the space so that items can be moved around and inter-changed as and when necessary.
