The Heeley Street project is an amazing project for an equally amazing repeat client. The small Paddington terrace, where she runs her small business, was run down and had been stripped of all the beautiful Victorian charm of years gone by. The brief was to inject life and light back into the terrace.
The ground floor was re-planned by relocating the services from the rear to the middle of the terrace. This allowed a visual connection between the kitchen and informal meeting areas to the landscaped rear courtyard. The front rooms in the principal building were restored with traditional details and a modern arched motif which was replicated in dividing walls and joinery details alike.
The result is a lovely fusion of contemporary materials such as oak, concrete and steel with a splash of colour and a nod towards the traditional details of a historic Victorian terrace.

Modify has gained a local reputation for creating and transforming beautiful yet functional homes in and around the eastern suburbs, drawing on our extensive experience in urban architecture, interior design, and construction.
Understanding our clients devote significant investment to their build or renovation, we have carved a streamlined method that provides clients with an early and clear cost plan prior to lodgement of their Development Application. Clients receive a detailed construction cost plan for their renovation, ultimately allowing clients to progress past concept planning and into design development and interior design phases with confidence.
Our integrated team of senior Architects, Interior Designers, and Construction (both management and on-site foreman and trades) ensure the transition is seamless across all aspects of the design and build. Our fixed fees for design and fixed price lump sum contracts for construction offer clients the ability to have a clear picture of the overall costs prior to commencing the works, be it the design phases or the construction itself. Our process allows clients to pre-plan construction commencement dates, ensuring projects are able to commence at a time that suits them.
