Designed as a destination for entertaining and unwinding, this bespoke home bar and media wall blends rich materials, layered textures and integrated technology to create a space that feels indulgent yet inviting. From our Kavanagh collection and crafted in a rich Hazelwood finish, the bi-fold bar hides a fully equipped serving area featuring a Sub-Zero wine fridge, Quooker tap, and bespoke storage, while antiqued bronze mirrors and glass shelving introduce subtle drama. A reeded Hazelwood media wall with integrated lighting anchors the space, seamlessly combining display and concealed storage. Complemented by Caesarstone Vanilla Noir surfaces and burnished brass accents, the result is a warm, speakeasy-inspired interior that invites slow evenings, effortless entertaining, and a distinctly luxurious atmosphere.

Behind the rolling hills of Arthurs Seat sits “The Farm”, a coastal getaway and future permanent residence for our clients. The modest three bedroom brick home will be renovated and a substantial extension added. The footprint of the extension re-aligns to face the beautiful landscape of the western valley and dam. The new living and dining rooms open onto an entertaining terrace. The distinct roof form of valleys and ridges relate in level to the existing roof for continuation of scale. The new roof cantilevers beyond the extension walls creating emphasis and direction towards the natural views.

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.

BARANDILLA HIERRO Y MALLA PERFORADA

Haben Sie sich auch schon öfters gefragt, warum die meisten muffigen Partykeller so gar nichts mit Ihrer trendigen Lieblingsbar zu tun haben? Wir ändern das für Sie! Dafür haben wir hier die Theke ins Obergeschoss geholt, mit hochwertigstem Leder überzogen und mit einer raffiniert-mattschwarzen Oberfläche versehen. Beleuchtet wird der Tresen aus Weinflaschen, die von grandiosen Festen erzählen. War "Ich bleib heute mal zu Hause" je so cool? © Silke Rabe
