A combination of bricks, cement sheet, copper and Colorbond combine harmoniously to produce a striking street appeal. Internally the layout follows the client's brief to maintain a level of privacy for multiple family members while also taking advantage of the view and north facing orientation. The level of detail and finish is exceptional throughout the home with the added complexity of incorporating building materials sourced from overseas.

Heartbeat House transforms a modest Victorian cottage into a welcoming, multi-generational home centred on family and wellbeing. Our clients wanted a space that fosters social gatherings while ensuring privacy for their family of four, including our client's live-in mother. The home balances openness and togetherness, blending indoor and outdoor experiences seamlessly. The original cottage houses bedrooms, bathrooms and multi-use spaces, transitioning to a modern extension featuring soft Victorian Ash cabinetry, a double-vaulted ceiling, and large windows that open to lush, landscaped gardens. The private garden sanctuary, elevated above street level, creates a suburban oasis, designed in collaboration with Saint Remy. Inside, custom joinery ensures thoughtful storage, making communal spaces versatile. A hidden study nook and bar transition easily from work to play. The materials palette features lime-washed Victorian Ash timber, polished concrete floors, and Australian-sourced materials, balancing softness with strength. The result is a harmonious home where multiple generations can live together, with flexible spaces for socializing and retreat. Heartbeat House celebrates meaningful togetherness, offering a peaceful and functional suburban escape.

Making use of additional space in the kitchen, we neatly hid away this utility room that disappears when the doors close, but matches the style of the kitchen when open.

The laundry area for this new build also features Palazzo Kitchens Nero Oak cabinetry, paired again our high quality German made high-pressure laminate bench in Havana Oak colour. Our bronze feature handles lend an informal feel to the space, and the client's tile choice finishes the space perfectly. This new build kitchen was a pleasure to see installed. Featuring Palazzo Kitchens Black Nero cabinetry, paired with Dekton Laurent porcelain benchtop for the kitchen island, this look is sleek and modern yet warm and inviting. Using bronze handles, tapware and panelling behind the bar to pick up the veining on the Dekton, it's a match made in heaven.
