Red Brick Restoration.

From dated to dashing, we transformed this 70s home to suit the growing needs of a young family of five. Both storeys were reconfigured to harness the light, enhance the space and create easy flow.Starting with a wider entry, we adopted a light, fresh palette overlaid with splashes of black. Oak floors contrast with noir window frames, tapware, door hardware, balustrades and kitchen appliances.Merging the kitchen with the dining and living zones and installing bi-fold doors, we made the water views a highlight. Adding a square island encourages family conversation and allows all four people to enjoy the view.In the wet areas, an intriguing tile pattern, lighting and a pale colour palette reference a Nordic aesthetic.
