Transforming an older gem into a sanctuary with an open, bright and functional layout.
Drawing upon the white, blue and sandy tones of the coast, this home is now outfitted with expansive prep areas in both the kitchen and bathrooms featuring sculptural elements and brass fixtures. Durable, sustainable and high end finishes bring refinement and tactility to the project.
"We wanted to create a space that was not only beautiful but also practical," says Director Jessica Murray. "The detailing of this project highlight how small decisions can have great impacts."
This renovation project included transforming a dysfunctional kitchen space, as well as its incorrectly sized powder room and bathrooms. The result is an inviting atmosphere that's perfect for entertaining guests or spending quality time with your family.
The combination of natural elements with modern touches make this space welcoming yet timelessly stylish. The use of warm wood accents throughout give the home character while providing a comfortable feel.
We are an Architecture Practice based on the Surfcoast, Victoria, servicing Victoria-wide, specialising in designing homes of quality with high-value sustainable principles.
We passionately believe that carefully considered Architecture can contribute to the smallest of spaces and moments. To realize outcomes that are informed, intentional and responsive to their context.
We want to collaborate with like-minded clients and infuse their unique life stories into our design process.
We strive to raise the bar, alongside leaders in our field, to create a better world for future generations and to be proud of the building and design industry to collectively transition to more sustainable practices.
We aim to add quality to the community we design for, no matter how big or small our contribution may be. Our cities and urban areas are products of the amalgamation of a series of small acts and spaces to form the greater fabric we experience and inhabit.
We aim to bring to life the vision of our clients, balancing big ideas while respecting budgets and timelines as important pillars of this multi-tiered process.
Client. Community. Climate.
In the spirit of reconciliation, we at Cooper & Blake Architecture acknowledge the Wathaurong People of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the land where we conduct our business today, and we pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
