Settled within a graffiti-covered laneway in the trendy heart of Mt Lawley you will find this four-bedroom, two-bathroom home. The owners; a young professional couple wanted to build a raw, dark industrial oasis that made use of every inch of the small lot. Amenities aplenty, they wanted their home to complement the urban inner-city lifestyle of the area. One of the biggest challenges for Limitless on this project was the small lot size & limited access. Loading materials on-site via a narrow laneway required careful coordination and a well thought out strategy. Paramount in bringing to life the client’s vision was the mixture of materials throughout the home. For the second story elevation, black Weathertex Cladding juxtaposed against the white Sto render creates a bold contrast. Upon entry, the room opens up into the main living and entertaining areas of the home. The kitchen crowns the family & dining spaces. The mix of dark black Woodmatt and bespoke custom cabinetry draws your attention. Granite benchtops and splashbacks soften these bold tones. Storage is abundant. Polished concrete flooring throughout the ground floor blends these zones together in line with the modern industrial aesthetic. A wine cellar under the staircase is visible from the main entertaining areas. Reclaimed red brickwork can be seen through the frameless glass pivot door for all to appreciate — attention to the smallest of details in the custom mesh wine rack and stained circular oak door handle. Nestled along the north side and taking full advantage of the northern sun, the living & dining open out onto a layered alfresco area and pool. Bordering the outdoor space is a commissioned mural by Australian illustrator Matthew Yong, injecting a refined playfulness. It’s the perfect ode to the street art culture the laneways of Mt Lawley are so famous for. Engineered timber flooring flows up the staircase and throughout the rooms of the first floor, softening the private living areas. Four bedrooms encircle a shared sitting space creating a contained and private zone for only the family to unwind. The Master bedroom looks out over the graffiti-covered laneways bringing the vibrancy of the outside in. Black stained Cedarwest Squareline cladding used to create a feature bedhead complements the black timber features throughout the rest of the home. Natural light pours into every bedroom upstairs, designed to reflect a calamity as one appreciates the hustle of inner city living outside its walls. Smart wiring links each living space back to a network hub, ensuring the home is future proof and technology ready. An intercom system with gate automation at both the street and the lane provide security and the ability to offer guests access from the comfort of their living area. Every aspect of this sophisticated home was carefully considered and executed. Its final form; a modern, inner-city industrial sanctuary with its roots firmly grounded amongst the vibrant urban culture of its surrounds.

This renovation and extension of a notable stone cottage culminated in a highly unique and sustainable family home. The 200-year-old building was formerly an Aberdeenshire village schoolhouse and our clients sought to preserve its historical integrity. Restored features include a traditional staircase, wall panelling and an arched timber alcove - originally the school master’s sleeping quarters - now a cosy nook within a modernised master bedroom. The facade was respected and replicated, with heritage-matched sash and case windows, panelled doors and a fully reslated roof. A new outdoor terrace which connects to the kitchen provides extra entertainment space. Extensive internal works were undertaken to the whole house, including the structural remodelling of the ground floor, an electrical and plumbing refurbishment, as well as full joinery and high-spec kitchen refit. The addition of a light-filled, single-storey extension, clad in warm tones of thermally modified pine, revolutionised the flow of the residence. The result is a thoroughly modernised home, which retains its traditional spirit for a new chapter of its architectural life.

Relaxing bedroom, with gentle colours

A cantilever suspended 2.5 metres from the main bedroom hovers above decking to establish volume and allow views of the sea.

Initialement, la structure du bien était composée d’un plateau de bureau de 91m2 et d’un studio adjacent de 19m2, dans lequel la maîtrise d’ouvrage a souhaité pouvoir réaliser deux appartements de surfaces équivalentes destinés à la location hôtelière (ici nommé l’appartement B). Afin de permettre l’optimisation idéale des lieux et y créer deux chambres et deux salles d’eau, l’ouverture d’un mur porteur fut indispensable. Le poteau central de reprise structurelle délimite ainsi astucieusement les espaces de vie : le salon dans lequel prend place un canapé convertible, un séjour pour 4 à 6 personnes avec banquette coffre, ainsi qu’une cuisine bi colore dont la crédence miroir permet d’accroître les perspectives. Camaïeu de bleu et agencements sur mesure confèrent à cet appartement une ambiance feutrée et intimiste pour ce projet clé en main.
