Architect : Blueprint Design
Builder: The Renovation Company
Photographer: Jay Drew Photography

The owners of this property love the archetypal Hamptons vibe, so it made sense to base the renovation of their family home around this concept. The project involved not just interior and exterior finishes, but also the reconfiguration of the house to streamline movement from the entrance through to living areas. The needs of the family were catered for by adding a bathroom and enlarging a powder room; however the inclusion of the library zone into the mainstream flow was also key. The fresh hues of the  interior hue channel a coastal feel, and tones are warmed with carefully curated soft furnishings. All interior aspects were updated -from small details such as window treatments to a new kitchen and bathroom fit outs. Every space of this stunning home has been personalised by the luxe fittings; taps, mirrors, lighting – all individualise this dwelling.

Whether it is a complete renovation or simply spritzing up a space, she approaches each project with the same vigour, enthusiasm and passion.
