This luxurious renovation of a 1920s heritage beachside home, designed by Bryant Alsop Architects, combines timeless Deco glamour with modern family living. High-end fittings and finishes create an atmosphere of sophistication, enhancing the home’s natural charm. To make the most of breathtaking bay views, living spaces have been located on the first floor. An expansive gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the home, ideal for family gatherings and hosting guests. Multiple living zones ensure there is ample space for everyone to relax and enjoy, while the overall design seamlessly integrates family comforts with the glamour of Art Deco influences. Outside, the previously under-utilised back garden has been transformed into a stunning outdoor oasis, featuring a pool, expansive outdoor living areas, and a fireplace, perfect for entertaining. This exceptional renovation by Clancy Constructions provides the perfect balance of style, luxury, and functionality.

Project Gallery

At the heart of the home, the kitchen is a study in both form and function. An expansive island anchors the space, with custom seating and pendant lighting adding sculptural flair. Art Deco references shine through—tailored, warm, and wonderfully livable.

Framed by sweeping bay views, the living room is a place to pause and exhale. Located on the first floor to capture bay views, it is designed to feel open yet grounded. It is the perfect spot for gathering family or simply soaking in the view.

A grand entry stair crowned by a dramatic chandelier sets the tone on arrival, refined and bold.

Set beneath soaring ceilings, the dining space is where Deco glamour and family life converge. Rich textures and warm timber tones frame the space between kitchen and lounge. Designed for entertaining, made for every day.

Art Deco elegance meets modern indulgence in the bathrooms. Soft curves, fluted detailing, and opulent materials elevate these private spaces. A sculptural freestanding tub invites retreat, while bespoke vanities and layered lighting complete the experience. These aren’t just bathrooms, they’re sanctuaries of style.

A quiet counterpoint to the home’s vibrant social spaces. The bedrooms blend warm neutrals with layered textures, reflecting the calm sophistication of the Deco era. Comfort, elegance, and retreat all beautifully entwined.

At the rear, a compact spiral staircase adds sculptural interest while linking the upper levels to a stunning outdoor retreat complete with pool, fireplace, and alfresco zones designed for year-round enjoyment.
